Abstract
On the basis of normative materials, clerical sources, literature of the issue, there is the analysis of the content of the main legislative acts of the M.M. Speransky’s reform in 1822 in Siberia in the field of administrative structure, management of foreigners and exile. The “binding” of the reform to the geopolitical, geographical, economic and ethno-confessional features of Siberia is noted. The authors come to the conclusion that this was the first experience of imperial legislation in Russia, based on the regional peculiarities of the Russian region, and I name this policy “the policy of imperial regionalism”.
