Corinne Gaudin, The zemskie nachal'niki in the village: administrative customs and peasant culture in Russia, 1889-19I4. When the Russian government created the institution of land captain in 1889, it revived a paternalist and tutelary conception of government authority in the hope of solving the perennial problem of under-administration of the countryside. In practice, however, the broad discretionary powers attributed to the new official were applied with little coherence or consistency. Alternatively overworked, indifferent, or insufficiently knowledgeable about local conditions, few land captains supervised, regulated or molded rural society as effectively as the government had hoped. Access to the village remained in the hands of elected and hired peasant officials, whose mix of ignorance and classic passive resistance frustrated attempts to incorporate peasant institutions of self-government into a regular ladder of bureaucratic authority. The land captains, in their role as arbitrator did, however, accelerate the penetration into the village of outside authority and official concerns. The resultant superimposition of various administrative cultures, peasant, bureaucratic and paternalistic, posed particular problems for the coherent application of the Stolypin reforms.
