The Ruling Bureaucracy and Local Self-Government in Imperial Russia: Ministry of Internal Affairs before the 1905 Revolution.

作为20世纪初俄罗斯实际行政区域内内政部与地方自治政府（zemstvos）关系的个案研究，我调查了1902年6月《鼠疫防治法》颁布和修订后的法律颁布的历史中兽医管理部门与地方自治政府的关系。Zemstvos渴望自力更生的活动，一方面，该部认为政府对Zemstvos的监督和控制是不可避免的。然而，在地方自治的政治化下，鼠疫问题对地方自治的重要性降低，另一方面，政府出于现实原因无法执行鼠疫法律。

As a case study of relationship between the Ministry of the Interior and local self-government (zemstvos) in practical administrative areas in the early 20th century in Russia, I investigated the Ministry-zemstvo relations in veterinary administration in the history of the promulgation of anti-plague law of June 1902 and enactment of the revised law. Zemstvos yearned self-reliant activities, on the one hand, Ministry considered supervision and control by the government over zemstvos inevitable. However, under the politicalization of zemstvos, importance of the problem for zemstvo decreased, on the other hand, government couldn’t execute the plague laws for practical reasons .
