Topic | RUSSIA’S REGIONAL STRUCTURE: ROLE OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORMATION FACTORS |
| Summary | The evolution and development of the jurisdiction exercised over Siberia’s indigenous population remains poorly understood. The purpose of the study is to analyze the changes in jurisdiction over the peoples of Siberia under Catherine II, as well as to determine their role in the processes of formation of territorial entities and the prospective provision of their stability. In this perspective, the topic of North Asian integration is being explored for the first time. The work is based on the ideas of the “new imperial history” and the theory of acculturation. The article concludes that the reforms of Catherine II created a new judicial system beyond the Urals, which was of a dichotomous nature. The imperial legislator combined the courts of estate jurisdiction with the lower bodies of justice, acting on the basis of customary law, granted the population the right to choose the form of court for the consideration of the bulk of the cases. The institution of “rural assessors” in the courts contributed to the active involvement of the indigenous population in the sphere of Russian justice. The development of legal regulation of jurisdiction and the deployment of the jurisdictional activities of state bodies turned various ethnic communities into an organic part of the population of territorial entities created in Siberia, which acquired stable systems of social ties and relations. | ||
