Urban “Nakhalovki” and Unauthorized Construction in the Far East of the Russian Empire in the Second Half of the 19th – Early 20th Centurу

Abstract
The article analyzes the practice of unauthorized construction and formation of a complex of unlawful settlements in the southern boroughs of the Far East in the second half of the 19th – early 20th century. It is demonstrated that the construction of the far Eastern cities was largely carried out with deviation from original plans, while unlawful self – construction and even entire illegal settlements – “nakhalovkas” built without permission from the local administration became a very common phenomenon in the far Eastern outskirts of Russia.
