Pskov province was reorganized under Paul the First in 1796 from the Pskov viceroy, created as a result of the administrative reform of Catherine the Second in 1777 from the lands that were once under the jurisdiction of the Pskov Republic and, in part, as part of the Shelon Pyatina of the Novgorod Land (XVI century). At the beginning of the XVIII century. (1708) these lands became part of the Ingermanland province (in 1710 it was renamed the St. Petersburg province). In 1719, in connection with the introduction of a new administrative-territorial division of the provinces of the Russian Empire into provinces, a province of the same name was formed on the site of the future Pskov province (with the county towns of Pskov, Gdov, Izborsk, etc.). In 1727, a number of lands that were part of the St. Petersburg province (including the Pskov province) were withdrawn from its composition and transferred to the newly formed Novgorod province. After the first division of the Commonwealth (Poland) in 1772, the Pskov province was formed as part of the Russian Empire, in 1776 it was divided, in turn, into two provinces - Pskov and Polotsk. Finally, in 1777, the Pskov governorship was created.

In the Pskov province, in whole or in part
There are the following maps and sources:
(with the exception of those indicated on the main page of general
all-Russian atlases, where this province can also be)

1st and 2nd layout of land surveying (1778-1797)
Survey map - non-topographic (without indicating latitudes and longitudes), hand-drawn map of the late 18th century (after the redistribution of borders in 1775-78) on a scale of 1 inch = 2 versts 1cm=840m or 1inch=1verst 1cm=420m. Some of the maps belong to the period of Catherine II 1775-96, Paul I, having come to power, changed the borders of counties within the provinces (which, in turn, Alexander I returned to their original place, but with some changes), while part of the maps of the General Survey Fund only survived for one period.
The maps are in color, very detailed, broken down by county. The purpose of the map is to show the boundaries of land plots with reference to the terrain. In the Pskov province, all dvuverstka are usually two-color (see sample)

Military 3-layout of the Pskov province of the 1880s.
Military trehverstka - a detailed military map of the Pskov province topographic surveys of the 1880s. Scale - in 1 cm 1260 m.

Lists of populated places in the Pskov province in 1885 (according to information from 1872-1877)
This is a universal reference book containing the following information:
- type of settlement (village, village, owner or Kazakh);
- the location of the settlement (in relation to the nearest tract, camp, at a well, pond, stream, river or river);
- the number of households in the settlement and its population (the number of men and women separately);
- distance from the county town and camp apartment (centre of camp) in versts;
- the presence of a church, a chapel, a mill, fairs, etc.

N.F. Levin, S.L. Sviridov. Klerovye sheets, confessional paintings and parish registers of churches and graveyards of the city of Velikiye Luki and its county in the funds of the State Archives of the Pskov Region. Magazine "Pskov Archives", No. 3.

From the new guide to the State Archives of the Pskov Region (GAPO), published in 2011, it became known that these documents are stored not only in 22 inventories of fund No. 39 of the Pskov Spiritual Consistory, to which researchers turned first of all. They are also in other funds of the archive. There are especially many such funds for the churches of the city of Velikiye Luki and its county. In particular, they are available in fund No. 128 of the Velikoluksky Spiritual Board and in the funds of the deans of the four districts of this county. Only two deans of the Nevelsk district still have such funds. Only for a quarter of the churches of the Pskov diocese, namely for 112 churches, separate funds have been created in the GAPO, and 48 of them are Velikiye Luki. There are 75 descriptions in total.

The need to bring these cases into separate lists by uyezds is obvious. In the proposed lists for Velikiye Luki and his county, cases are singled out for individual churches of the city and churchyards of the county, and the rest, consolidated cases, are arranged in chronological order.

When preparing the lists, the names of some cases were clarified, and it was established to which particular temple it refers.

On familysearch.org and in the Pskov archive, registers of births of the Velikoluksky district for 1746 - 1865 inclusive.
Where to look for county registers after 1865?
According to the GAPO employee, it is not known when they disappeared, during the Great Patriotic War or sometime else.

Many documents of the temples of the Velikoluksky district, which were kept in the Rzhev branch of the State Archives of the Tver Region, disappeared during the Great Patriotic War.

Revision tales for 1850 villages and villages of the county:

GAPO, f.58, op.1, file 1656 - exclusively rural secular societies.

GAPO, f.58, op.1, file 1659 - Landlord peasants. The case begins with the villages of Alexander Arsenyevich Zherebtsov, ends with the announcement of Varvara Alekseevna Lavrova. Announcement in d.1659, a

GAPO, f.58, op.1, file 1658 - from the possessions of Dmitry Alexandrovich Tulubyev to captain Maria Yanovskaya. Plus, at the end, there is also an audit of the courtyard people living in Velikiye Luki.

Reports of the commissioner for the affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Velikoluksky region.
In the State Archive of Contemporary History of the Pskov Region (GANIPO) in fund No. 5473 (inventory 1, file 1859) there are reports of F. Uglov, commissioner for the affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Velikoluksky region, for the fourth quarter of 1951, as well as for the first, second and third quarters of 1952 .

The State Archives of the Pskov Region (SAPO) contain documents signed by A. Kunitsa, Commissioner for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Velikoluksky Region, and acting. Plenipotentiary for the Velikoluksky region comrade. Rudakov. These documents refer to the end of 1956 - the beginning of 1957, among them are the acts of transferring churches to the Pskov diocese. These documents are stored in fund No. 1776 (inventory 1, files 63, 64).

Depot cards

At the end of the 18th century, a radical transformation of the cartographic business in Russia took place, which laid the foundation for an independent military topographic service. Emperor Paul 1, shortly after his accession to the throne, paid special attention to the lack of good maps in Russia and on November 13, 1796 issued a decree on the transfer of all maps of the General Staff to the disposal of General G.G. Kushelev andon the formation of His Imperial Majesty the Drawing Room, from which in August 1797 His Majesty's Own Map Depot was formed. This event made it possible to bring order to the publication of maps and made the Map Depot a centralized state archive of cartographic works in order to preserve state and military secrets. At the Depot, a special engraving department was established, and in 1800 the Geographical Department was added to it. On February 28, 1812, the Depot of Maps was renamed the Military Topographic Depot with subordination to the War Ministry. Since 1816, the Military Topographic Depot came under the jurisdiction of the General Staff of His Imperial Majesty. In terms of its tasks and organization, the Military Topographic Depot was predominantly a cartographic institution. There was no department of topographic surveys, and the necessary number of officers from the army was seconded for the production of the latter.

After the end of the war with Napoleon 1, much more attention began to be paid to field topographic and geodetic work. The military operations quite definitely revealed the lack of maps, and the new methods of warfare at that time raised the question of the need for large-scale maps, which, in turn, required a good and fairly dense network of geodetic reference points and accurate topographic surveys. Since 1816, the triangulation of the Vilna province began, which marked the beginning of the development of triangulations in the country, and since 1819, systematic topographic surveys were organized on a strict scientific basis. However, the performance of geodetic and topographic work by a small number of quartermaster officers, who, in addition to this, had many other official duties, did not allow them to start systematic and systematic mapping of the country. In addition, the cost of maintaining officers-topographers seemed too onerous. Therefore, the question arose of creating a special organization to carry out surveys and geodetic work, staffed from persons of non-noble origin. Such an organization, which existed along with the Military Topographic Depot, was formed in 1822 and became known as the Corps of Military Topographers. Its composition was completed from the most capable pupils of the military orphanage departments - cantonists, the sons of soldiers, who belonged from birth to the military department in then serf Russia. In order to train the personnel of the Corps of Military Topographers, the Military Topographic School was established in the same year. The corps of military topographers, established at the General Staff of His Imperial Majesty, became a special organization to carry out geodetic work, topographic surveys and train a large number of highly qualified topographers.

Fyodor Fyodorovich Schubert

The activities of the famous Russian surveyor and cartographer F.F. Schubert, its founder and first director. Fyodor Fedorovich Schubert (1789-1865) was the eldest of the children and the only son of the outstanding astronomer Academician Fyodor Ivanovich Schubert (1758-1825). Until the age of eleven, he was brought up at home, with special attention paid to mathematics and the study of languages. During this period, F.F. Schubert read a lot of books from the home library, as well as from the library of the Academy of Sciences, which was in charge of his father. In 1800 F.F. Schubert was assigned to the Peter and Paul School, later renamed the school, without graduating from which, in June 1803, at the age of only 14, at the request of his father, he was transferred to the General Staff as a column leader. Quartermaster General P.K. Sukhtelen, a close acquaintance of Fyodor Fedorovich's father, instilled in the young man, who dreamed of a naval service, a great love for topographic and geodetic work. In 1804 F.F. Schubert was sent on two astronomical missions, for the successful execution of the first of them he was promoted to second lieutenant. In the spring of 1805, he took part in a scientific expedition to Siberia led by his father, and in the summer of 1806 he was again busy with astronomical work in Narva and Revel. From October 1806 to February 1819 F.F. Schubert was in the army, taking part in hostilities against the French, Swedes and Turks. During the battle of Preussisch-Eylau in 1807, he was seriously wounded in the chest and left arm and almost died during the assault on Ruschuk. In 1819 F.F. Schubert was appointed head of the 3rd department of the Military Topographic Depot of the General Staff, and from 1820 he became the head of triangulation and topographic survey of the St. Petersburg province and in the same year received the rank of major general. In 1822 F.F. Schubert develops a draft regulation on the Corps of Military Topographers and soon becomes the first director of the newly established Corps. After 3 years, he was appointed manager, and from 1832 - director (until 1843) of the Military Topographic Depot of the General Staff and a member of the Council of the Academy of the General Staff. In addition to these positions, F.F. Schubert from 1827 to 1837 was also the head of the Hydrographic Depot of the Main Naval Staff of His Imperial Majesty. Fedor Fedorovich successfully combined the management of these institutions with a number of other equally responsible duties. He directs extensive trigonometric and topographic work in a number of provinces, organizes the publication of the Notes of the Military Topographic Depot and the Notes of the Hydrographic Depot; compiles and publishes the "Guide for the Calculation of Trigonometric Surveys and the Works of the Military Topographic Depot", which served as the main guide for topographers for several decades. On June 20, 1827, F.F. Schubert was elected an honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, and in 1831 he was promoted to lieutenant general for distinction in service. Of great importance are the cartographic works of Fyodor Fedorovich, especially the ten-verst special map of the Western part of Russia published by him on 60 sheets, known as the Schubert Maps, as well as his works devoted to the study of the type and size of the Earth. In 1845 F.F. Schubert becomes general of infantry, and the following year he is appointed director of the Military Scientific Committee of the General Staff, which he led until its abolition in 1859. With such an abundance of responsible positions, F.F. Schubert not only perfectly coped with the duties assigned to him, but also introduced a lot of new things into the activities of each institution in which he had to work, so his contribution to the development of the domestic military topographic service was very significant, and the authority in the scientific world is very great. Fyodor Fedorovich devoted his free time from public service to numismatics (in 1857 he published a major work on this issue). He was fluent in four languages, was well versed in music and painting, was a versatile, hardworking and cultured person.

The name of General Schubert is also associated with the creation of a topographic map of the Moscow province, which was engraved at the Military Topographic Depot in 1860. As noted above, since 1816 in Russia, huge work began on the laying of triangulations and the production of topographic surveys based on a strict scientific basis. In 1820, F.F. Schubert also began his extensive triangulation work. In the period from 1833 to 1839, under his leadership, the triangulation of the Moscow province was carried out, which was fully completed only by 1841. The big disadvantage of F.F. F.F. Schubert attached purely practical significance to these works - to provide support only for current topographic surveys, since, being the director of the Military Topographic Depot, he tried to get maps of the largest possible territory of the country. In addition, in his triangulations, F.F. Schubert did not pay due attention to the determination of the heights of points, which was keenly felt when the lengths of the measured bases were reduced to the sea surface. However, these shortcomings of the triangulation work of General Schubert were more than compensated by the high quality of instrumental topographic surveys carried out under his leadership. The rules for the production of filming have undergone various modifications over time. The general provisions, valid for most cases, were as follows. Trigonometric points served as the basis for the breakdown of the geometric network. Only the most important objects of the area were filmed instrumentally - large roads, rivers, borders of provinces. For this purpose, the serif method was widely used; in forest spaces it was allowed to use a compass. The main content of the map was drawn using an eye. In the process of surveying, the relief was depicted by contour lines indicating the angular magnitude of the slopes of the terrain, and only the contours of the peaks and thalwegs were instrumentally plotted. The relief was drawn in a chamber setting with strokes in the Leman system.
Topographic instrumental surveys in the Moscow province under the direction of F.F. Schubert were produced in 1838-1839. At this time, only the space in the vicinity of Moscow was filmed. Filming was done on a scale of 200 fathoms to an inch. The requirements that Fedor Fedorovich made to the performers of field work were very high. Suffice it to say that F.F. Schubert strictly forbade the use of a compass, since it could not give the accuracy that could be achieved by shooting forest roads with the help of alidade. Subsequently, based on the materials of these surveys, in 1848 a topographic map of the environs of Moscow was issued on 6 sheets on a scale of 1 verst per inch. After a rather long time, the shooting of the Moscow province was continued. In the years 1852-1853 they were produced under the direction of Major Generals Vietinghoff and Rennenkampf and were conducted on a scale of 500 fathoms per inch.

Print technology

Topographic surveys in the Moscow province were carried out by the Corps of Military Topographers, but we can hardly now accurately identify the direct performers of field work, since their names are not on the map of 1860. But on each of the 40 sheets, we can read the names of the engravers of the Military Topographic Depot, who prepared this map for publication, at the bottom. The fragment of this map, presented to your attention, includes four incomplete sheets, each of which was worked on by 6-7 people. Interestingly, among the latter were two free engravers invited from abroad: Yegor Eglov and Heinrich Bornmiller. These artists taught our engravers the best European methods of engraving and were directly involved in the work “for which, in 1864, the Sovereign Emperor Deigned to give them silver medals to wear on the ribbon of the Order of St. Stanislaus, with the inscription “for diligence”.

The original topographic map of the Moscow province of 1860 is a print from an engraving on copper on 40 sheets + a composite sheet made in one color. The borders of the province and districts are manually raised with red watercolor paint. The map was compiled in a trapezoidal pseudo-cylindrical multifaceted Muefling projection on a scale of 1:84,000 or, translated into the Russian system of measures, 2 versts per inch. When compiling the map, they used materials from topographic surveys made in 1852-1853, but it should be noted that the surveys of 1838-1839 were also the basis for creating this map for those sheets that cover the territory of Moscow and its environs. The content of the map is very detailed. Particular attention is drawn to the high skill of engravers, thanks to which all elements of the map are perfectly readable. The relief is superbly engraved, especially the ravine network: the smallest spurs are drawn, which can simply be omitted on modern topographic maps of a similar scale.

A large number of different objects are signed on the map, which makes it possible to use it as the most valuable source of information on toponymy, since many hydronyms are partially lost today - you will not find them on any large-scale topographic map. Even now, after 140 years, with the help of this document, one can confidently navigate the countryside. It is not surprising that in Soviet times this map fell into the category of secret.

The space of the Pskov diocese was not always the same. At first, it was within the five nearest cities and counties: Pskov, Izborsk, Ostrovsky, Opochetsky and Gdovsky. Upon the establishment of the Pskov province by Peter I, Zavolochye, Krasnoye, Gorodishche, Pustorzhevsky (Novorzhevsky) district and Kobylinsk were assigned. In the 60s of the 18th century, the Velikoluksky district was added to the Pskov diocese. Over the course of the transformation of the Pskov province into a province from 1773 and then from 1777, the cities of Kholm and Porkhov with counties were transferred from the Novgorod diocese to the governorship of Pskov, and Sebezh, Polotsk, Nevel, Dvinsk and Vitebsk from the Belorussian one. In 1781, the Gdovsky district was separated to the St. Petersburg diocese, and in 1798 the Belarusian cities also went back to the Belarusian diocese. From the Smolensk diocese, since 1787, Toropets with the county was assigned to the Pskov diocese. For some time, Livonia and Courland were under the spiritual authority of the archpastors of Pskov until the establishment of the Riga diocese in 1850. From 1849 to 1858 The Archbishop of Riga simultaneously ruled the Pskov diocese. The bishops who occupied the Pskov cathedra since 1858 were called "Pskov and Porkhov". At the beginning of the 20th century, the boundaries of the territory of the diocese coincided with the administrative boundaries of the Pskov province.

Lost Documents:

During the Great Patriotic War, the documents of the archive of the Pskov region were not evacuated, some of them were irretrievably lost during the bombing and shelling of the city during the hostilities (During the war, two trucks with documents were hit by bombs). During the occupation of Pskov by the Germans, the archive was looted and partially destroyed.

After the liberation of the city of Pskov from the Nazi invaders, the city archive resumed its activities. The archive staff examined all the surviving buildings of the city to search for surviving archival documents. Most of them were found in the basement of a residential building at 17 Kalinina Street in a state of severe pollution and scattering.

Historical information on the province

Pskov province is an administrative unit of the Russian Empire. The provincial city was the city of Pskov. It existed from 1796 to 1924, after which it became part of the newly formed Leningrad Region. In terms of area in 1914, it occupied 44211.2 km2 (38846.5 square miles). The population according to the 1897 census is 1,122,317 people.

Story

In 1708, the territory of the future Pskov province became part of the Ingermanland province, as the Pskov province. The county towns of the province were: Gdov, Izborsk, Ostrov, Opochka, Pskov, Kholmsky Posad, Zavolochye, Pustorzhev and Kobylsk.

In 1727, the Novgorod province was separated from the St. Petersburg province and consisted of 5 provinces (Novgorod, Pskov, Velikolutsk, Tver and Belozersk). In 1772 (after the first partition of Poland, from the newly annexed lands), the Pskov province was created (the center of the province was the city of Opochka), it included 2 provinces of the Novgorod province Pskov and Velikolutskaya and new Dvina (Polish Livonia) and Polotsk from the lands of the former Vitebsk voivodeships

In 1772, the Pskov province was renamed the 2nd Belorussian province with a center in Opochka (since 1776, the center of the province was moved to Polotsk), which, in addition to Pskov, also included the provinces of Velikolutsk, Vitebsk, Dinaburg, Dvinsk and Polotsk.

In 1777, the Pskov governorship was created, consisting of 10 districts, in 1796 it was transformed into the Pskov province. At that time, the province consisted of 6 counties: Pskov, Velikolutsky, Opochetsky, Ostrovsky, Porkhov and Toropetsky. In 1802, two more counties were allocated from them: Kholmsky and Novorzhevsky.

Under Soviet rule

In April 1918, eight northwestern provinces - Petrograd, Novgorod, Pskov, Olonets, Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Cherepovets and Severodvinsk - were merged into the Union of Communes of the Northern Region, which, already in 1919, was abolished. Also after the October Revolution, the Pskov province underwent a number of territorial changes, so in 1920 part of the western counties went to Estonia, and in 1922 the southern counties came under the control of the Vitebsk province. In 1927, the Pskov province was liquidated and became part of the Leningrad region.
