Resettlement of peasants from European part of Russia to Siberia in the late XIX – early XX centuries from the standpoint of Frontier Theory.
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to analyze Frontier Theory and its use in the study of peasant’s settlement in Siberia after the abolition of serfdom. Both, general scientific and special methods of historical science were used in the study. The article analyzes the concept of ‘frontier’ in foreign and Russian historical science. It has been shown that the development of Siberia was the result of a global process – new lands development, opposition of Christian and other civilizations. The analysis of resettlement policy in the Russian Empire in the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries was carried out; the issues of regional policy in pre-revolutionary Russia were investigated from the standpoint of frontier theory.
