Résumé anglais Alessandro Stanziani, Statisticians, zemstva and state in Russia in the 1880's. The paper describes, in the first place, the system (collection and elaboration of data) of the statistical enquiries organised by the zemstva between 1875 and 1890. It also explains that these procedures were often at the origin of opposition between statisticians and the zemstva administrators. Such a relationship is explained by taking into consideration, on the one hand, the social background as well as the political and professional orientations of statisticians. On the other hand, the zemstva administrators' attitude in this respect is accounted for by the political climate, the agrarian crisis and the evolution of relationship between the zemstva and the state during the 1880's. In the last part of the article, the author endeavors to show how the above-mentioned elements resulted in the zemstva reforms of 1890 and in the increase of economic activity of the central administration. The main features of the "state statistics " developed in those years allow us to understand the nature of this institutional and economic transformation.
