in the last third of the 16th century. But, in the latter case, it must be admitted that hardly the quarters came out of the Great Parish, since the first date for the latter according to Miliukov is relatively late, namely 1573. In general, Seredonin does not agree with Miliukov’s opinion. that the quarters were subordinate to the Great Parish, that they were originally its branches. Noting the fact that in 1579, from the same city of Vashira, part of the fees (namely, part of the customs duties per shipment) went to a quarter of you. Shchelkalov, and the other part, (namely, the second part of customs duties and the tax collection from other transportation) “In the Great Parish, Seredonin said that he does not understand, ‘What kind of circumstances could force the Moscow government to come up with such an order that some fees go to the central institution, and others to one of its departments, which was also in Moscow.” -
Then he cites a number of data to prove that the Quarters are not subordinate to the Great Parish, but act independently. Finally, he says, “From the very beginning, the Great Parish is an institution of a financial nature, the quarters no longer only collect income, but also accept judgments and other kinds of evils in the districts under their jurisdiction, i.e., the scope of their activity is different from that of the institution from which they allegedly emerged.”
All this taken together leads Mr. Seredonin to the conclusion that Miliukov’s conclusion about the origin of the quarters is inconceivable and prompts the author to propose his own theory.
U. Seredonin. The theory of the formation of Quarters in the oprichnina.
Seredonin proceeds from what was already stated by Dmitrev, which stated that central institutions arose in Moscow only after the communities were given self-government,” i.e., the zemstvo reform of Grozny with its destruction Steve in many volosts and cities gave the first impetus to the formation of central institutions, “which is understandable ‘by itself, once it was destroyed instance through which communication with the regional population has hitherto been carried out.”

The position put forward by Seredonin found a strong critic in the persons of prof. Platonov.
