Résumé anglais Dmitrij A. Rostislavlev, Svetlana L. Turilova, The French in Russia in 1793. In this article concerning the history of French immigration to Russia at the end of the eighteenth century, one finds for the first time data on immigrants: how many existed, the number that was distributed over the Russian territory, their occupation, birthdate, date of arrival in Russia, and religious denomination. Lists of French citizens who were compelled to condemn the execution of Louis XVI in 1793 are held in the collection of the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire (AVPRI) under the title "About the French people of Russia who took an oath in compliance with the Imperial Decree of February 8, 1793." A statistical analysis of these sources allows us to draw conclusions on the characteristic features of French immigration to Russia. In the annex are printed a certain amount of hitherto unpublished documents: Catherine II's Decree of February 8, 1793 on the termination of political relations with France and the deportation of French people refusing to pledge allegiance to the Bourbons and become political immigrants, the oath, and other accompanying documents to the Decree.
