LEGISLATIVE REGULATION OF ISSUES OF CARING FOR SOLDIERS’ FAMILIES IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE IN THE LATE XIX — EARLY XX CENTURIES AND ITS REGIONAL IMPLEMENTATION (BY THE EXAMPLE OF KURSK PROVINCE)
Abstract
This article focuses on the laws that regulated care for families of lower rank military men who were mobilized in the period of 1877—1912. Attraction of archival and published sources enabled to show the emergence of a guardianship system for families of military personnel, starting with an analysis of the Statute on compulsory military service in 1874 and ending with the adoption of a special law in 1912. The approaches of local authorities to the application of these laws are shown by the example of the Kursk province, which made it possible to identify patterns and regional specifics of their practical implementation.The author analyses the factors that caused changes in the current legislation of that time. The article also gives data about caring for families of military men not only in war time but in interwar periods.
Key words
Legislation of the Russian Empire, characteristic changes in the legislative framework, care for soldiers’ families, social policy, army, military estate, Kursk province.
