John P. Le Donne, The guberniia procuracy during the reign of Catherine II, 1764-1796. The purpose of this article is to discuss a little known subject. A first part draws a composite portrait of the guberniia procurator before and after the provincial reforms of the 1770s — his origin, his place in the apparatus, his appointment and length of service. A second part analyzes his responsibilities — legal adviser, defender of the law; his role in the initiation of future legislation; guardian of the state's fiscal interest; his crucial role in reconciling Russian and local laws in the borderlands, and the resulting political problems. A third part examines the relationships between the procurator and the governor or governor general after the reforms; this latter relationship provides valuable insights in the operation of Russian local government. The conflict between the governor general of Kursk and Orel and the Kursk procurator is given as an illustration. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
