Kursk vice-governors: experience of reconstruction of service career
The study attempts to present the experience of reconstructing the official career of Kursk vice-governors who were appointed to the Kursk province after 1837, when this position began to be filled exclusively by the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is noted that the stated topic is poorly developed in the scientific literature, and reference and biographical publications do not always contain in full even the most general biographical information about these officials of the imperial period. Based on the available reference and biographical publications, information on the age of appointment, class rank, and duration of service of Kursk vice-governors has been collected and analyzed. The positions preceding these appointments and subsequent career achievements have been established. The tendency to some rejuvenation of officials appointed to the vice-governor's position in Kursk, as well as a noticeable decrease in the average length of service of officials in this position by the beginning of the XX century, was revealed.
