Abstract
The budget and budgetary activities reflect the way of participation of indigenous departments in administering national and local affairs. The study of these issues is possible on the basis of
an analysis of the accounting documentation of office documents – Duma cord books which reflected
the financial part of the departments’ activities. The article is based on the materials of the State Archive of the Republic of Khakassia. The purpose of this article is to analyze the internal mechanisms
of functioning of indigenous departments in the south of the Yenisei Governorate and their interaction with the state through budgetary activities. It is noted that the state’s participation in budget
replenishment of the indigenous bodies was negligible. The revenue part of the budget was mainly
formed at the expense of duties from the population. And the structure of the expenditure part of the
Duma budget was aimed primarily at paying state duties. In the course of the study, it was revealed
that the funds, allocated for financial fulfillment of objectives and functions of local government,
were insufficient. It is concluded that the powers of the indigenous administration were limited to
solving ordinary current issues. And any more or less important matters of the budget management were
transferred to the governorate bodies, the treasury chamber, i.e. the powers of authority were concentrated
in their hands. Only a limited part of these powers was delegated to indigenous departments.
