Regulations
on 27 June, 1874 - mainly touched on the question of the previously
existing institute of village community conciliators. By this
Regulation, the village community conciliators were abolished, and in
their place the so-called indispensable members of the "district
presences in peasant affairs" were appointed, which concentrated
virtually all of the peasant administration in their hands. This
provision caused serious objections among the liberal Zemstvo people. [Trotsky, Sochineniya, Vol 4, note 2] |
