“To Figure Out in Place the Most Useful... Management of This Remote Region”: Siberian Reforms of M. M. Speransky in Russian Historiography

Author(s)
A. A. Ivanov
Abstract
The article is devoted to the history of studying the Siberian reforms of M. M. Speransky in Soviet and modern Russian historiography. The author highlighted the main areas of study of this topic that have developed in science since the 1960s, analyzed assessments of legislative acts, socio-political views of M. M. Speransky, the role of G. S. Batenkov in the preparation of Siberian charters, and gave some prospects for the development of this topic. The author concluded that today the topic of Siberian reforms has its own researcher, but is studied much more broadly, as part of the regional or outlying policy of the Russian state in the first half of the 19th century.
