Martine Mespoulet-Buono, The relations between the center and the regions at the time when statistical offices were set up in the gubernii. The example of the gubstatbiuro in Saratov (1918-1923). In the course of establishing the new Soviet state, the government office of statistics was overhauled. This constituted one of the several administrative reforms enacted as from 1918 by the Bolshevik government, and was aimed at unifying the production of statistics that was split between different administration services. Within the context of an increasing state control of society, the establishment of regional offices, as defined by the decree of September 3, 1918, was aimed at improving the comparability and reliability of statistical survey results obtained throughout the Soviet territory and at accelerating their transmission to the CSU (Central Office for Statistics). As was to be expected, the implementation of this decree gave rise to négociations between local authorities and the CSU as well as, at the national level, between the CSU and the executive power. Set against a background in which an unified and a centralized state administration was in the process of being established and the structuring of a profession, already instituted before 1917, was in progress, the history of the first years of the regional offices for Soviet state statistics is also one of seeking a compromise between the scientific and professional aspirations of the former statisticians of the zemstvo and the institutional constraints of the new state administration as represented by the CSU. The case of the guhstatbiuro in Saratov illustrates how the factor of continuity was able to act simultaneously as an accelerator and a brake in this process. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
