Résumé anglais Dimitri Schakhovskoy, Heuristics and genealogy of the Russian nobility. The privilege of genealogy is to disclose the family connections and the social structure. It can be a justification of monarchic power as in the case of the Gosudarev rodoslovets (Official genealogical compilation), or the mainspring of a system of exercise of power (precedence). In order to study these aspects, it is essential to have a new approach to sources. Besides the study of genealogical sources properly, there must be an analysis that takes into account the acquired knowledge from Spiridov to Ikonnikov. This analysis would add up the investigation based on established indexes and data allied to a synthesis and a briefing founded on a new exploration of bibliography and archives (cf. Société et noblesse russe; Fonctionnaires et militaires en Russie au XVIIIe siècle). This implies information and communication between research-workers and public, personal and through periodical press (Istoricheskaia genealogiia), excluding any hoarding up spirit. It would allow to draw up an exhaustive account of Russian nobility faithfully reflecting its composition.
