In the comments to the table it is written:
The number of settlements, as can be seen from this table, increased by 127, the population of the county increased by 9130 people. The area of ​​the Kirillovsky district, according to the calculations of the General Staff of Colonel Strelbitsky, is 13,078.8 square kilometers, including under the lakes -899.1, on which under the islands 2.9 square kilometers. versts According to the 1897 census, there were 55,426 males and 65,272 females, 115698 people in total. According to the data of 1911, there are 64,254 men and 67,565 women. In 1897, 1 sq. a verst in Kirillovsky district had inhabitants of 8.8 people, in 1905 - 9.8 people, and in 1911 - 10 people.
Acting Secretary of the Provincial Statistical
Committee N.P. Volodin.

In line 21 "Ferapontovskaya volost", in addition to an obvious "bias" in the number of men and women, an arithmetic error was made. The population of both sexes should be 10,065 people, i.e. growth will be 1340 people. The disproportionately large number of men, apparently due to the presence of the male Ferapontovsky monastery.

War with Germany was declared on July 19, 1914. Mobilization began. Already on July 20-25, a large group of "reserve and warriors of the State Militia" was called up. So, only from the Vognem volost, 49 people were mobilized. Their names and date of call are known from the "Report on the activities of the Board of Trustees of the Vognem parish of the Nativity Church" 1... Attached to the report is a "Statement of persons called up from the reserve or the State Militia into the ranks of the troops, about the benefits provided to families by the Board of Trustees." The list contains not only the names of the soldiers called up to the front, but also provides information about the composition of their families, the amount of financial assistance to families both from the state and from the Board of Trustees. State financial assistance to the family of "lower ranks of the reserve and militia warriors" was given on the basis of the law of July 25, 1912. The wife and children of the summoned, as well as the father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, brothers and sisters, if they were supported by his labor before the war, enjoyed the state allowance. The amount of the allowance per family member was determined based on the cost of a food ration consisting of 1 pound of 28 pounds of flour, 10 pounds of cereal, 4 pounds of salt, 1 pound of vegetable oil 2... Children under five years old received half the cost of the ration, and sons and unmarried daughters who reached the age of 17 had to prove their incapacity for work. On the basis of article 80 of the same law, the heads of institutions were given the right to maintain a salary or part of it, depending on the composition of the family or special family circumstances, to employees of institutions (officials, teachers, doctors, etc.), called up from the reserve for military service... This privilege was extended to many of Cyril's teachers, doctors, paramedics. During the 1914/1915 academic year, 26 Kirillov teachers were mobilized from the reserve into the army, and all of them retained their "full support", and their substitutes received salaries from special amounts allocated by the Ministry of Public Education 3.

According to the law, a cash allowance was assigned from the moment the mobilized person was sent to the front, but in fact, the first issue was carried out only after examining the composition of the family. The latter circumstance greatly delayed the timing of the start of granting benefits, especially to families living in remote villages. The issuance of cash benefits was carried out in the countryside in the volost boards, in the city - in the city government. According to this law, benefits were assigned to all those called in the Vognemsk parish. Depending on the composition of the families, they received from 95 to 20 rubles a month 4... In this volost one of the first volunteers of the Kirillovsky district appeared - Ilya Yakovlevich Korsakov, a retired reserve. At home, he left his 38-year-old wife and three children: Maria (4 months), Nikolai (4 years) and Alexander (8 years) 5.

On July 29, in the city of Kirillov, a special meeting was held, which was attended by representatives of all governing bodies of the Kirillovsky district. After an exchange of views on the events unfolding in Europe that caused the war with Germany, the meeting decided to ask the district zemstvo assembly: 1) to initiate a petition for the surrender of all the loans they had not paid from the peasants who went to war; 2) instruct the zemstvo council to appeal to village gatherings with an appeal to help the families of substitutes in harvesting grain and in sowing; 3) to open a loan of 1000 rubles to the council for the issuance, in especially valid cases, of loans to families of reserve workers for sowing work; 4) employees of the Kirillovsky district zemstvo, called up for active service, should be considered in the service of the district zemstvo, keeping half the amount for family maintenance 6.

On August 2, a patriotic demonstration took place in Kirillov. It was attended by residents of the city, peasants, clergy, mobilized soldiers. The prayer service was held in front of the building of the military commander in the central square of the city. During the prayer service, a group of mobilized soldiers attacked the police officers and the senior city officer, Dektyarev. In the crowd of soldiers, calls began to be heard to go to smash the shops of the merchants. Bishop Kirillovsky addressed the soldiers with a soothing speech, but this did not help. Horse guards under the command of the police chief Khabakov surrounded the crowd. Shots rang out. The square was quickly emptied. Two of the dead were left on it. One peasant was wounded. Information about the events in the city quickly spread throughout the county. Cases of pogroms of wine shops were also noted in remote volosts of Kirillovsky district 7.

In the local history literature, these events were assessed as "the failure of a patriotic manifestation" 8, which implied covert resistance to mobilization in the tsarist army. However, the involvement of other sources provides a more versatile picture of mobilization in the county. Andrei Sapozhkov, a priest of the Dormition Pushtor Church, describes the calm, solemn dispatch of 13 mobilized people from his parish. At the appointed time, everyone gathered, a memorial service was served for the dead soldiers, a prayer service was served for the granting of victory, each warrior was sprinkled with holy water and blessed with images of a guardian angel and St. George the Victorious. After the service, donations were collected in the amount of 22 rubles 67 kopecks for "setting up various charitable and educational diocesan institutions" 9... The documents of the Kirillov Theological School inform about the facts of "escapes to the front" of Cyril's seminarians.

On August 17, 1914, a meeting of the Kirillovsky extraordinary district zemstvo assembly took place. The deputies warmly supported all the measures of the government related to the outbreak of the war, and decided to allocate 100 rubles a month for "the maintenance of one bed in the Novgorod stage hospital for the entire duration of the war." The Novgorod escort infirmary was equipped with 50 beds and was being prepared to be sent to the theater of military operations. The meeting also decided to support the initiative of the five northern districts of the Novgorod province on the joint arrangement and maintenance of a "hospital in the city of Cherepovets for sick and wounded soldiers", allocating 5 thousand rubles for this 10... In addition, the meeting decided to study the issue "of organizing the preparation of knitted sweatshirts, underpants and gloves by handicraftsmen for the needs of the active army." After hearing the statement of K. P. Romashko and A. M. Tyutryumov about the beneficial effect on the population of the termination of the sale of alcoholic beverages during the mobilization of the sale of alcoholic beverages, the meeting decided: war ".

The city of Kirillov was far from the front and the main streams of refugees and the evacuation of the wounded, but the difficulties of wartime also affected it. As the front line approached Novgorod, the provincial and diocesan authorities issued an order to prepare a number of monasteries to receive refugees and the wounded.

Cyril-Belozersky Monastery has always been actively involved in charitable activities, especially during the period of hostilities. So, in Patriotic War In 1812, the monastery donated more pounds of silver utensils to the state militia 11... Ordinary monks, archimandrites and bishops of Cyril strove to contribute to strengthening the Russian army, helping refugees, erecting and repairing monuments. In 1903, Archimandrite Theodosius donated 45 rubles to restore the monuments of the Sevastopol defense 12... In years Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905, the monastery donated "for the sanitary needs of the army in the Far East"300 rubles, and the abbot and brethren of the monastery allocated more than 400 rubles for the army from their own funds. 13.

The charitable activities of the monastery were especially vivid during the First World War. Already in September 1914, donations were received by the Novgorod diocesan committee "for the arrangement and maintenance of the monastery hospital at the Yuryev Monastery": from Bishop Ioanikiy of Kirillov (he was vicar bishop of the Novgorod diocese and at the same time was the archimandrite of the Kirillo-Belozersk monastery) - "of the personal rubles, from monastic sums - 200 rubles, from Cyril's monks - 200 rubles 14... In the following war years from the bishop and the rank-and-file brethren, almost monthly sums of money came to the Novgorod Diocesan Committee “for the hospital and for sending to active army". So, in December 1915, 25 rubles were received from Bishop Ioanikiy, 17 rubles 43 kopecks from the brethren, and 25 rubles 34 kopecks from the sums of the monastery. 15... In 1915-1916, the monastery was equipped to receive refugees from the western regions of the premises for 15 people in the monastery hotel 16... An infirmary is located in one of the monastery buildings. V official documents it is most often called a "boarding school" for sick and wounded soldiers. The patronage was opened on September 8, 1915 at the initiative of Bishop Ioanikios. The bishop ordered to prepare for him the building of the former educational building of the Kirillovsky Theological School, known from other documents as the "archive" (now this building is used as a residential building of the monks of the monastery renewed in 1997). The necessary repairs were carried out in the building and the appropriate equipment was prepared. The surviving documents allow the details of the expenses incurred. Carpenter Vassian Maksimov was paid 45 rubles for laying new floors in the "Old School and Hospital of Wounded Soldiers" for 60 days of work. Kirill Petrov received 3 rubles 85 kopecks for painting these floors 17, and Kirillov's carpenter Valery Vorontsov for making 10 beds and five tables for the hospital - 15 rubles 18... The monastery took over the maintenance of the patronage. For this purpose, 1,600 rubles were allocated annually from monastic and monastic funds. Additionally, money was received from members of the local branch of the Red Cross. Medicines for the hospital were dispensed free of charge. This decision was made at a meeting of the Zemsky Assembly on November 12, 1915. 19.

Supervision over general condition affairs and funding of patronage was carried out by the bishop of Kirillov, and after he was transferred to the cathedra of the bishop of Olonets and Petrozavodsk, the new rector. The monastic authorities were also assisted by the chairman of the local branch of the Red Cross, the caretaker (director) of the Kirillovsky Theological School, Alexander Alexandrovich Ramensky. Directly all the current affairs of the patronage was in charge of a special committee created in the city of Kirillov. It consisted of: a representative of the local branch of the Red Cross, forester A.A.Kupriyanov (chairman), a representative from the monastery, Hieromonk Nikandr (from May 1916 he was replaced by hieromonk Misail), a representative from donors ON Karulichev. Hieromonk Nikandr (in the world Nikolai Ivanovich Karpov, from the bourgeoisie of Vologda, the treasurer of the monastery) was not only a member of the committee, but "fulfilled the priest's demands" in the patronage 20, that is, he was actually a priest of the hospital. Patronage duty was carried out by a special Ladies' Committee. Among its most active members were E. P. Gubler, M. A. Sveshnikova, A. N. Olfer'eva, E. G. Valkova, A. K. Tserkovnitskaya, T. A. Kopeikina. The city doctor Joachim Yakovlevich Nodelman provided medical assistance to the sick and wounded soldiers. All these people worked in the patronage for free. The brethren of the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery also provided all possible assistance to the patronage and everyone who was in it for treatment.

The sources at our disposal do not allow us to name the exact number of those who recovered in the Kirillovsky hospital. It is known that during 1916 there were on average about 20 people in it. By January 1, 1917, 8 people remained, since many recovered and left Kirillov, and no new wounded were received. The museum contains a group photograph that dates back to mid-1916. It depicts a large group of military (21 people), together with representatives of the Ladies' Committee, the local branch of the Red Cross, sisters of mercy, monastics and commanding staff Cyril-Belozersky Monastery.

In addition to maintaining the patronage, the monastic authorities and ordinary monks made many donations for other needs during the war years. So, every year the monastery donated 2 percent of all its income in favor of sick and wounded soldiers, transferring them to Novgorod. Bishop Ioanikiy donated 275 rubles from his own funds for this purpose. The brethren of the monastery transferred 25 rubles to the Kirillov district committee of the Trusteeship for refugees. In addition, in case of a large evacuation from the front-line territories in the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, places were prepared to accommodate refugees, including a monastery hotel for 30 places, part of monastic cells for refugee monks for 10 places. The Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery was ready to accept not only refugees, but could also shelter valuables from the churches and monasteries of the western districts of the Novgorod province. From the order of the Novgorod consistory of October 19, 1917 21it is known that "the churches of John Climacus with an altar, John the Baptist, St. Sergius of Radonezh with storerooms, the Archangel Gabriel with a sacristy, a sacristy above the Church of Cyril" was planned to be occupied to accommodate valuables evacuated from near Novgorod (icons, salaries, church utensils, etc.). ). Evacuation was supposed in the summer along the Mariinsky water system, in the winter - along railroad... In the latter case, the abbot of the Nilo-Sorsk desert and the abbess of the Goritsky and Ferapontov women's monasteries were asked to provide Novgorod with information on the number of carts that they can put up to the nearest railway station for the transportation of valuables. However, in practice, these activities were not required. But the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery was nevertheless used as an evacuation base: in 1917, it housed part of the State Archives taken from Petrograd.

Other monasteries, as well as the white clergy of the Kirillov district, also provided assistance to the wounded and sick soldiers, refugees. On the device of an infirmary in the Yuryev Monastery Goritsky convent donated 120 rubles 22... In 1916, the sisters allocated housing for the refugees for two families "in the monastery house outside the monastery wall." Moreover, one half of the house was intended for the family of the priest of the Kamenets-Podolsk diocese of the Litinsky district, Father Kopylov. Nilo-Sorskaya male deserts also highlighted big house for refugees, in which six families and three single people could live at the same time 23... In September 1914, this desert provided financial assistance in the amount of 25 rubles to the families of military personnel. Abbess of the Ferapontov Monastery Seraphim from her own funds allocated
1 ruble 20 kopecks for the same purposes
24.

The priests of the parish churches of the Kirillovsky district, parishioners and schoolchildren also rendered all possible assistance to the front. Upon arrival
In some churches, boards of trustees were established. They regularly raised funds to help the soldiers and their families. In the report of Dmitry Lesnitsky, priest of the Ramenskaya Church, it is reported that the council was created in August 1914. In the first months of the war, his activities were aimed at collecting monetary and material donations and providing assistance to the families of soldiers who went to the front. In the first days of the war, 6.5 rubles were collected in the parish. With this money they bought 6.5 poods of rye and gave it to the poorest families. In October-December, the council received 65 yards of canvas, 85 pouches with tobacco, 5 towels, 5 shirts, 2 scarves. At the suggestion of the Board of Trustees, some fellow villagers helped the families of soldiers with free labor: they plowed, mowed, reaped, and prepared firewood. For providing such assistance to the council, thanks were expressed from the soldiers Nikolai Ilyich Kochin and Dmitry Pavlovich Savichev 25.

Information about monetary and material aid was entered into the "Statement of monetary and material receipts of the Novgorod Diocesan Committee". Lists of donors indicating specific amounts or property receipts were regularly published on the pages of Novgorod Diocesan Gazette.

Priest Nikolai Ozerov and teacher Klavdia Rakova told the readers of Novgorod Diocesan Gazette that at the Kirillovskaya city zemstvo school girls “sew tobacco pouches for the soldiers, and the boys fill them with tobacco and sweets from their meager means, while depriving themselves of the pleasure of eating a rang (roll) , candy and even an extra cup of tea, saving a piece of sugar in order to allocate something from this savings for a soldier who went to war ... 26". In the same cor They wrote to their correspondence that on November 24, 1914, a little girl Katya, 6-7 years old, came to school and handed the teacher a small tobacco pouch, saying that it was "a present from her to a soldier for the war." Then Katya added: for the day of her angel, she donates (for the soldiers) one penny donated by dad, three lumps of sugar that she left today from tea and three "sweets" that she received from mom 27.

The charitable activities of the residents of the Kirillovsky district were noticed and appreciated. The priest of the Volokhov Church Ioann Fadeev received gratitude "for the donations delivered in favor of the soldiers - defenders of the Motherland" from the "Warehouse Committee of Her Majesty Empress Alexandra Feodorovna" 28.

Gifts and donations supported the soldiers in Hard time... Senior non-commissioned officer Ivan Ivanovich Filippov writes about this well in his letter to the priest of the Ilyinsky Church Sergei Tretinsky. He expresses gratitude on behalf of himself and his colleagues for the fact that “they did not forget us in a distant land, where the peaceful prosperity of life was disrupted by the arrival of daring enemies, where only the crackle of exploding grenades and the whistle of bullets can be heard ... I hope that a strong and insidious enemy will be a German broken ... and the time will come when the guns and grenades with their terrible power will not pull out the planted holes, and white cover snow stained with the blood of our brothers 29... ". It should be noted, however, that the enthusiasm characteristic of the initial period of the war gradually began to fade, and the number of monetary donations and clothing collections decreased from year to year. The main reason for this was the impoverishment of the bulk of the peasant population. Priest D. Lesnitsky pointed out in the report on the work of the Board of Trustees that “it is difficult to collect donations. Families have become impoverished, everyone thinks only about how to feed their family and livestock. Prices are rising. The population is selling livestock. The able-bodied population went to the front or to work in other provinces ... " 30.

During the war years, over 18 thousand prisoners were housed on the territory of the Novgorod province 31... The first prisoners of war in Novgorod appeared, apparently, after the grandiose offensive of the Russian army in Galicia in August 1914. The first batch of prisoners of 400 people entered the Kirillovsky district on October 29 32... It was decided to use the captured Austrians in the reconstruction of the Mariinsky water system (digging device in the Ivanoborsk rapids). For them, on the banks of the Sheksna River in the town of Ivanov Bor, five barracks were built, each 15 yards long. An office was also built there to manage the work and a bathhouse for prisoners of war. The entire site was surrounded by a fence, and guards were appointed to supervise the prisoners of war. Local residents came out to look at the "terrible guests". Aroused particular interest military uniform Austrians, especially leather shoes with horseshoes, black windings and gray trousers with buttons on the side seam. The locals compared the Austrian uniform with the Russian and decided that the latter was more convenient. However, the Austrians, having received Russian leather boots for work, wore them with pleasure. Captured Austrians were treated to tobacco, bread, pretzels. When we met, "there was no noticeable hostile feeling on either side." 33... The county authorities took care of the provision of medical care prisoners of war. During 1915, the Kirillov hospital received 135 prisoners of war. On the hospital beds they spent 3288 days, the state expenses for the treatment of prisoners amounted to about 3.5 thousand rubles 34.

In October 1915, in Ivanovo Bor, a party of German prisoners of 180 people was added to the Austrians 35... As the local newspaper wrote, when the local residents met the Germans, "some kind of tension was felt ... So here they are - these monsters, these animals, rapists and murderers ...". None of local residents no longer offered the prisoners tobacco, there was no noticeable "compassion, which is very characteristic of Russian women" 36.

The labor of prisoners of war was also used for the reconstruction of the canal of Duke A. Württemberg (now the North Dvina water system). For transportation a large number mobilized and military cargoes, it was necessary to increase the capacity of the system, to adapt it for the passage of vessels of a type similar to the Mariinsky system. This required deepening and widening the canals and the passageway, and increasing the size of the airlock chambers. Up to 800 horses and up to 10,000 workers were used in these works. Some of them were prisoners of war. Given their "significant presence, as well as for the enhanced security of the locks in war time"Engineer N. Poryvkin developed" Instructions for soldiers while guarding locks on the system of the Duke of Württemberg ", which ordered the strictest supervision of the work of prisoners of war, and, if necessary, use weapons 37.

The reconstruction of the canal continued until the end of 1918. Revolutionary events of 1917, Civil War, the food problems that began in the country affected the situation of the prisoners of war. So, in May 1917, the Committee of Employees and Workers of the Toporninsky Canal (as part of the system of Duke A. Württemberg was called) made a decision to confiscate tobacco imported for sale to prisoners of war. 38... A year later, the county authorities lifted the previously adopted restrictions and restored the acceptance of "lightweight parcels addressed to our prisoners of war." 39.

The protracted war required the mobilization of all resources, the emergence of new laws and regulations that strictly regulate all aspects of the life of the population. In 1915, a mandatory decree was published, signed by the Novgorod governor, "prohibiting the manufacture of any intoxicating drinks from denatured alcohol, cologne, varnish and other alcohol-containing substances." Those caught in this were subject to imprisonment for 3 months or a fine of up to 3 thousand rubles. 40... The congress of deputies from the clergy and representatives of church elders of the 3rd district of Kirillovsky district actively supported these measures and expressed the desire to stop the sale alcoholic beverages forever 41... The Chief Prosecutor of the Synod reported this decision to the tsar. On this fact, the tsar imposed a resolution: "I sincerely thank you." 42... The peasants of the Tiginsky volost, according to the information of the priest Alexei Udalov, at the beginning of 1914 decided to give the old school building not under the "kazenka", as it was proposed, but under " vocational school for boys and girls " 43... Six months later, in the center of the volost - the village of Tigino - "a local merchant built a new building for a wine shop, but the peasants, having gathered for a gathering, made a verdict to close the wine shop in their settlement forever." On August 19, this verdict was sent to the zemstvo chief. Instead of "kazenka", the Tigino sobriety society decided to open in the village a "teahouse of the sobriety society with the sale of books." The petition of the Tiginsky peasants from the district was forwarded to the diocesan Brotherhood of Temperance 44.

In the Novgorod province, it was forbidden to "buy food supplies, uniforms, weapons, linen from military ranks." Merchants selling rye, wheat, oil, were obliged on Fridays (on the eve of the auction) to inform the mayor or headmen full information about the availability of their goods. 45... On January 30, 1916, Novgorodskiye Gubernskiye Vedomosti published a Compulsory Decree "prohibiting the export of oats from Cherepovets, Kirillov, Belozersk and their counties outside the counties, with the exception of oats purchased for the army." 46.

At the beginning of the war, many doctors and paramedics from Kirillovsky district were called up for military service. The authorities tried to fill vacancies, but to no avail. In November 1915, there were no doctors in the Volokoslavinskaya, Petropavlovskaya, Ogibalovskaya, Krechetovskaya hospitals, in five paramedic points 47... During the war, the cost of medicines also increased significantly. The prices of the most common drugs have increased by 2-10 times or more. For example, phenacetine cost 3 rubles 90 kopecks before the war, and by the end of 1915 - 200 rubles 48.

By the fall of 1916, the hardships of the war became tangible for the entire population of Russia. The losses of the Russian army for more than two years of hostilities were enormous - about 1.5 million killed, about 4 million wounded, over 2 million prisoners 49... In 1914, there were 1,689,469 local residents in the Novgorod province. Of it, 206 115 persons liable for military service were drafted into the active army, which amounted to 12.2 percent of the population. 50... In the first months of the war, losses among the Novgorod warriors amounted to 0.11 percent. In the "Agricultural Bulletin" (1915. No. 6; 1916. No. 3-4) published "Nominal lists of the killed and wounded and missing the lower ranks of the Novgorod province." Local historian E. Rakov calculated the numbers of losses in Kirillovsky district: in 1915 - 38 killed, 128 wounded, one died of wounds; in 1916 - 7 killed, 32 wounded, 6 shell-shocked, 30 missing, one was captured by the Germans 51... But, apparently, this is incomplete information.

In 1915, the first heroes, awarded in battles, appeared, some of them posthumously. Information about the killed and their military awards came to the counties at the place of residence. So, on July 8, 1915, in the Boroivan Church, the ceremony of handing over the St.George Cross to the parents of Sergei Osipovich Shortov, a reserve corporal from the peasants of the village of Shilyakova, who died in the war, was held. The Kirillov police chief presented the award to the parents. Then the priest N. Tretinsky served a prayer service for the granting of victory. After the prayer service, he delivered a speech "on the high moral feat of the defenders of the Fatherland." 52... In the same solemn atmosphere, the transfer of the St.George Cross of the 4th degree to the parents of the junior non-commissioned officer Alexei Vasilyevich Lasukov, who was from the peasants of the village of Tarasovskaya, who was killed in the war, took place. 53... Among the most distinguished Kirillovites during the First World War, Mikhail Nikolaevich Voronin (1890-1970), a native of the village of Probudovo, can be noted. He served as a scout, performed many feats and became a knight of the four St. George's Crosses 54... Among those awarded was the hieromonk of the Kirillo-Belozersky monastery Martinian (Matvey Egorov, from the peasants of the Cherepovets district). For his participation in the military campaign, he was awarded the Order of St. Anna 3rd degree 55.

The unsuccessful course of the war, heavy losses, insufficient supply of the army with weapons, ammunition, food aroused discontent and murmur in the mass of soldiers, gave rise to rumors about "treason" among the "bosses". The conscription of large numbers of men caused a shortage of workers in the villages. The increased transportation of military cargo led to the breakdown of railway transport and interruptions in the supply of food supplies to the civilian population. Strikes and demonstrations began in the cities. The unrest of the workers was supported by the soldiers of the reserve regiments stationed in large cities.

Unrest also took place in Kirillovsky district. The workers of the Kurdyuga sawmill demanded to double wages... At the marinas Chaika and Zvoz, barges with bread were plundered. In Kirillov, Markelov's brewery, Valkov's store, and Kostarev's tavern were destroyed. In May 1917, the peasants of the Krechetov volost destroyed the estate of the 19th appanage estate, while they beat and dispersed the forest guards and began to cut down the forest without permission. One of the peasants' demands was to entrust the protection of forests "on an elective basis to persons who suffered in the war." 56... The organizers of unrest, strikes, and unauthorized felling were most often soldiers who returned from the front or who got acquainted with revolutionary ideas in the "reserve" regiments. They became the organizers of the establishment of Soviet power in the Kirillovsky district. So, for example, V. M. Pronin was drafted into the army in 1913, took part in battles. In January 1917, he was arrested for revolutionary propaganda, but under pressure from revolutionary-minded soldiers he was released, participated in the February and October revolutions... On the instructions of the Novgorod Soviet of Workers ', Peasants' and Red Army's Deputies, he arrived home and organized village and volost Soviets in the Khotenovskaya volost of the Kirillovsky district. In 1918, Vasily Mikhailovich Pronin created the 1st Kirillov commune in the city of Kirillov 57... On the initiative of the Bolshevik soldiers, on December 17, 1917, the first county congress of Soviets was convened, which proclaimed the transfer of all power to the Soviet of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies 58.

An excerpt characterizing the Kirillovsky district

“I also wanted to ask you,” Prince Andrew continued, “if they kill me and if I have a son, do not let him go, as I told you yesterday, so that he grows up with you… please.
- Would you like to give it to your wife? - said the old man and laughed.
They stood silently opposite each other. The old man's quick eyes were directly fixed on the eyes of his son. Something trembled in the lower part of the old prince's face.
- Goodbye ... go! He said suddenly. - Go! He shouted in an angry and loud voice, opening the office door.
- What is that? - asked the princess and the princess, seeing Prince Andrei and the figure of an old man in a white coat, without a wig and wearing old-man glasses, screaming in an angry voice for a moment.
Prince Andrew sighed and said nothing.
“Well,” he said, turning to his wife.
And this "well" sounded like a cold mockery, as if he were saying: "now you do your tricks."
- Andre, deja! [Andrey, already!] - said the little princess, turning pale and looking with fear at her husband.
He hugged her. She screamed and fell senseless on his shoulder.
He carefully pulled away the shoulder on which she was lying, looked into her face and gently sat her down on a chair.
- Adieu, Marieie, [Goodbye, Masha,] - he said quietly to his sister, kissed her hand in hand and quickly left the room.
The princess lay in an armchair, m lle Burien rubbing her whiskey. Princess Marya, supporting her daughter-in-law, with tear-stained beautiful eyes, was still looking at the door through which Prince Andrew had come out, and baptized him. From the office were heard, like shots, the often repeated angry sounds of the old man blowing his nose. As soon as Prince Andrey left, the office door opened quickly and the stern figure of an old man in a white coat peeped out.
- Have you gone? Well, good! He said, looking angrily at the insensitive little princess, shook his head reproachfully and slammed the door.

In October 1805, Russian troops occupied the villages and cities of the Archduchy of Austria, and new regiments came from Russia and, burdening the inhabitants with a stand, were stationed at the Braunau fortress. In Braunau was the headquarters of the commander-in-chief Kutuzov.
On October 11, 1805, one of the infantry regiments that had just arrived at Brownau, awaiting the inspection of the commander-in-chief, stood half a mile from the city. Despite the non-Russian terrain and setting (orchards, stone fences, tiled roofs, mountains visible in the distance), the non-Russian people, looking at the soldiers with curiosity, the regiment had exactly the same appearance as any Russian regiment that was preparing for a review somewhere in the middle of Russia.
In the evening, at the last crossing, an order was received that the commander-in-chief would watch the regiment on the march. Although the words of the order seemed unclear to the regimental commander, the question arose of how to understand the words of the order: in marching uniform or not? in the council of battalion commanders, it was decided to present the regiment in full dress on the grounds that it is always better to bow again than not to bow. And the soldiers, after the 30-verst march, did not close their eyes, repaired and cleaned themselves all night; adjutants and company commanders calculated, expelled; and by morning the regiment, instead of the sprawling, disorderly crowd, which it had been on the last passage the day before, represented a slender mass of 2,000 people, each of whom knew his place, his business, and of whom on each button and strap were in its place and shone with cleanliness ... Not only the exterior was intact, but if the commander-in-chief had liked to look under the uniforms, he would have seen an equally clean shirt on each one and in each knapsack he would have found a legalized number of things, "a shillet and a soap," as the soldiers say. There was only one circumstance about which no one could be calm. It was a shoe. More than half of the people had their boots broken. But this lack did not come from the guilt of the regimental commander, since, despite repeated demands, the goods from the Austrian department were not released to him, and the regiment traveled a thousand miles.
The regimental commander was an elderly, sanguine, general with graying eyebrows and sideburns, stout and wide, more from chest to back than from shoulder to shoulder. He was wearing a brand new uniform, with caked folds, and thick gold epaulettes, which, as if not downward, but upward, lifted his fat shoulders. The regimental commander looked like a man happily performing one of the most solemn deeds of life. He paced in front of the front and, walking, trembled at every step, slightly bending his back. It was evident that the regimental commander was admiring his regiment, happy with him that all his mental strength was occupied only by the regiment; but, despite the fact, his trembling gait seemed to say that, in addition to military interests, the interests of social life and the female sex also take a considerable place in his soul.

Administrative-territorial unit of Russia (from 1727 to 1927) with the center in the city of Novgorod.

Novgorod province was located in the European part of Russia and bordered in the north with th and provinces, in the east with provinces, in the south with provinces, and in the west with provinces.

The history of the formation of the Novgorod province

In 1727, the Novgorod province was separated from the St. Petersburg province and consisted of 5 provinces:

  • Belozerskaya (Belozersky, Kargopol, Ustyuzhensky and Charondsky districts)
  • Velikolutskaya (Velikolutsky, Toropetsky and Kholmsky districts)
  • Novgorodskaya (Novgorodsky, Novoladozhsky, Olonetsky, Porkhovsky, Staroladozhsky and Old Russian uyezd s)
  • Pskov (Gdovsky, Zavolochsky, Izborsky, Ostrovsky, Pustorzhevsky and Pskov districts)
  • Tverskaya (Zubtsovsky, Rzhevsky, Tverskoy, Novotorzhsky and Staritsky districts)

In 1770, the Staraya Ladoga and Charondsky districts were abolished.

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 - Velikolutskaya and Pskov (except for the Gdov district, which was transferred to the Novgorod province).

In 1773, by decree of Catherine II, the Olonets province was created (consisted of two counties and one district). In the same year, the Valdai, Borovichi and Tikhvin districts of the Novgorod province and the Ostashkovsky district of the Tver province were formed.

In 1775, a separate Tver governorship was created, the Tver province and Vyshnevolotsk district Novgorod province. In the same year, the division into provinces was abolished; all counties were transferred directly to the provincial subordination.

In 1776, the Pskov province was reformed (from the Pskov and Velikolutsk provinces of the old Pskov province and the Porkhov and Gdovsky districts of the Novgorod province), the Novgorod governorship was created (from parts of the old Novgorod province, it was divided into 2 regions - Novgorod (Belozersky, Borovichsky, Valdai Kirillovsky, Krestetsky, Novgorodsky, Novoladozhsky, Starorussky, Tikhvinsky and Ustyuzhensky districts) and Olonetsky (Vytegorsky, Kargopolsky, Olonetsky, Padansky and Petrozavodsky districts)).

In 1777, a small part of the Novgorod province was allocated to the Yaroslavl governorship. The Cherepovets district was formed.

In 1781, the Olonets region and the Novoladozhsky district were transferred from the Novgorod governorship to the St. Petersburg province. The division of the governorship into regions has been canceled.

By the decree of Paul I of December 12, 1796, the Olonets province was abolished, part of its territory was returned to the Novgorod province, in addition, a new division of the Novgorod province into counties was established, and the number of counties was reduced (Belozersky, Borovichsky, Valdai, Vytegorsky, Kargopolsky , Olonetsky, Novgorodsky, Petrozavodsky, Starorussky, Tikhvinsky and Ustyuzhensky districts), some of the county towns were transferred to substandard ones.

By the decree of Alexander I of September 9, 1801, the Olonets province was restored within its old borders (until December 1796). Vytegorsky, Kargopolsky, Olonets and Petrozavodsky districts went to it.

In 1802 the Kirillovsky, Krestetsky and Cherepovets districts were formed.

In 1824, in connection with the formation of military settlement districts in the Novgorod province, the Starorussky district was abolished. At the same time, the Demyansk district was formed.

In 1859, the Old Russian Uyezd was recreated in connection with the liquidation of military settlements.

From 1859 to 1918, the Novgorod province included 11 counties, which included 127 volosts.

The Democratic Congress of Soviets (May 10-13, 1918), at the request of the northern districts of the province, positively decided the issue of separating the Tikhvin, Ustyuzhensky, Cherepovets, Kirillovsky and Belozersky districts into the Cherepovets province.

Since April 1918, eight northwestern provinces - Petrograd, Novgorod, Pskov, Olonets, Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Cherepovets and Severodvinsk - have been united into the Union of Communes Northern region, which ceased to exist in 1919. Belozersky, Kirillovsky, Tikhvinsky, Ustyuzhensky and Cherepovets districts went to the new Cherepovets province.

On June 7, 1918, by decree of the Novgorod Provincial Executive Committee, the Bologovsky district was formed by allocating part of the Valdai district volosts to it. In the same year, Malovishersky district was created. Already in 1919, the central authorities abolished the Bologovsky district.

In 1921 it became part of the North-West Region (the region was abolished on January 1, 1927).

In 1922 the Krestetsky district was abolished.

In 1924, in accordance with the Regulation of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on the enlargement of volosts in the Novgorod province, out of 133 volosts, 65 were formed (with 15 thousand population in each).

On August 1, 1927, the Novgorod province was abolished. It became part of the Leningrad region as the Novgorod and Borovichi districts.
