Special Duties Officials in the Public Administration System of Eastern Siberia in the 19th Century

Author(s)
N. P. Matkhanova
Abstract
The article analyzes functions set by legislation, range of actually performed duties, general number and place of special duties officials in the public administration system. In Siberia, this position was established as a result of the reformation activities of Michael M. Speransky. The article gives examples of duties and career paths of specific people, citing the formulary list of D. B. Banzarov. Based on the comprehensive study of sources, it concludes by arguing that special duties officials enabled the local administration to react more quickly and flexibly to real problems. Due to the weakness of the police and investigative bodies the main duty of the special duties officials was all kinds of investigations. This circumstance required candidates for the position to have a certain level of education, some special skills and practical experience.
