- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Townsmen’s Administrations were established pursuant to the Senate edict “On the City Statute” (16 June 1870). Answering to municipal dumas, they were elective estates-representative institutions that administered townsmen’s [meshchanskie] societies’ affairs. They apportioned and collected taxes and excises from townspeople, including the particular ones – the korobka [kosher meat tax] and candle tax – to which the Jewish population was subject; and they kept records of town population, and compiled lists of townspeople subject to military conscription. They were dissolved in 1919.
