Guide Printed catalogue arranged by region; index on CD-ROM. Content note Different sides of life in Russian society in the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth were carefully examined by Zemstvo (provincial administrative bodies set up after the Reform of 1861) statisticians. For almost fifty years (1870-1917), they meticulously recorded data on millions of peasant households, large estates of the nobility, factories, real estate, medical care, education, migration, etc. However, the main thrust of their work concerned the agricultural economy. Few countries can rival Russia with respect to the volume, variety and accuracy of such statistical data. Region list: Akmolinskaia oblast' Altaiskaia guberniia.
