Samuel H. Baron, The fate of the gosti in the reign of Peter the Great.
When Peter I ascended the Russian throne, the gosti were to all appearances still a flourishing institution. In the first part of his reign, Peter showed how important he considered them by assigning them prominent roles in his shipbuilding plans and his 1699 urban reform. By 1710, however, the gosti were greatly reduced in number, and in the 1720's they passed out of existence. As the survival rate of gosť families had always been low, the perpetuation of the group depended upon the government's willingness to designate new gosti. Peter chose not to make new appointments because he came to believe that the gosti were unreliable and incapable of contributing to the dynamic development of Russia. In their stead, he sought to devise new institutions that would better serve his purposes. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
