“Considering the financial districts into which the administration of fees was distributed in the Moscow state in the 17th century, Mi- `’lyukov brought them together. to three calegorlyamt. "The common feature of all of them; he says, is that the administration of the districts is concentrated not in the region, but in Moscow itself. Then, the first category includes those financial districts that, despite the concentration of administration in Moscow, have retained some regional 'integrity' and independence. This includes the departments of the Kazanska Palace, the Novgorod Prikaz. Both of them have joined the 'financial organized: Chetey; but their regions were created not so much as a result of the administrative act by which the cities were “ordered” to a famous person, but because of their geographical and former political isolation. A similar territorial one. continuity of the Smolensk Prikaz (later annexed by Malorossit), but it did not receive independent existence and was annexed either to the Ustyug Cheti, or to the Ambassadorial Prikaz. The second category includes the Grand Palace and the Quarters - Vladimrekaya, Galitskaya, Kostroma (formerly called, apparently, Yaroslavl) and Ustyug. The financial districts of these institutions do not have any territorial continuity and do not constitute a list of countries. In contrast to the districts of the first category, historically, and perhaps by a special ruler, such orders; 75
they were created by executive order or have a purely financial significance; They provide the so-called Quarterly revenues, or, according to Chechulin’s classification, the collections of the estate are exclusively of a mfot nature, i.e., given and quitrent ‘money, from which, according to Margeret’s deputy, “all salaries and penalties of the majority of military people are paid,” etc.

Having determined the predzel, the circle of harassment, and also partly the appointment of the Quarters; Miliukov suggests Fr. Without the time and method of their origin. > 5
Moreover, the guiding thread for this determination is not that of the Chetey, but the circle of their household, i.e., the totality of monetary receipts in the Quarter. T:
"The Moscow Palace," says Miliukov, was originally the only source of all the revenues of the Moscow state. In the last quarter of the 16th century, however, we find the revenues 'the state's already allocated' from the palace incomes; instead, the Palace Grand Parish was allocated with them. The Hall, during the last quarter of the century, occurred further division of state revenues into urgent national ones, a product of new state needs, and partly old-fashioned revenues, partly newly transferred to money, or again converted to government use, and again;
And accordingly, they stand out from behind the Greater Iri-
Then the regional orders (chets) maintained contact with the Great Parish, just as the Great Parish itself maintains a long-term connection with the B. Palace“*).
Thus, “for Miliukov, the cheti is not an archaism in the patched-up system of the Moscow administration (as representatives of the regional chety leaders thought), but, on the contrary, a novelty brought to life by abstract administrative considerations, the gradual division of income into palace and state, and then these latter into national and local.”
This theory of Miliukov caused a number of objections, especially from Prof. Platonova, Seredonina, Storozheva. Recognizing that Miliukov’s explanation of the origin of the quarters was a significant step forward in comparison with the explanations that had been given earlier, Seredonin first of all found a number of contradictions in Miliukov’s reasoning. He pointed out that Miliukov did not develop a specific view of the time of the occurrence of the quarters: in one case, he attributed the “extension of the quarters of the Greater Parish to approximately 1585”, in another, he assumed that such an event had taken place a little earlier, namely
