The study is conducted on the basis of comparative and chronological methods. The article is based on the normative acts and records, records and records. The authors emphasize political nature of the authority of governors on the peripheries of the Empire, and personal trust of the Governors-General towards them. The article high-lights that governance in Siberia was based both on the Russian Empire legislation and on the legislative acts, developed specifically for that particular territory. The most important of the legislative acts was "Body of legislation for Siberia" of 1822.
