Influence of The Regulation on Orenburg Cossack Troops (1840) on The Makeup and Size of Population in The Kundravy District of Troitsk County of Orenburg Governorate
The Regulation on Orenburg Cossack troops was adopted at the end of 1840. This regulation gave Cossack troops a compact territory. Three state districts were included in the territory of Troitsk county of Orenburg Governorate. The inhabitants of these districts had to choose either to enter a Cossack estate or relocate to the places indicated by the government. Based on available sources this article analyses the influence of the Regulation on the population of one of these districts - the Kundravy district of Troitsk county of Orenburg Governorate. There are going to be compared demographic consequences of the Regulation for the population of the Kundravy district, Nizhneuvelskaya stanitsa and the district of Troitsk county. Subsequent to the results of this comparison, we conclude that the influence of the Regulation on the population of area units is not universal as it has local specifics.
