This 1952 academic collection, published in Sukhumi, is a fundamental archival resource for the study of the socio-economic history of the South Caucasus. Compiled and introduced by the prominent historian Irakli Antelava, the text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of late Imperial Russian agrarian policy, including the arrangement of twelve primary documents detailing the legal and administrative evolution of land reform for state peasants. The volume covers the deliberations of the Medvedev Commission, the journals of the Council of the Glavnonachalstvuyushchy (Civil Chief) in the Caucasus, and the final legislative acts of 1900 and 1903. These materials document the complex transition of land ownership and usage rights in the Tiflis, Kutaisi, Elisabethpol, Baku, and Erivan governorates, as well as the Kars and Sukhumi regions.  As a vital primary source, this volume illuminates the tensions between colonial administration and the peasantry, the role of high-ranking officials like Golitsyn and Sheremetev, and the specificities of land management in mountainous and frontier territories. Released by the State Publishing House of the Abkhazian ASSR in a limited run, this enlarged hardcover edition is a significant bibliographical rarity for historians of the Caucasus, researchers of the Russian Empire’s agrarian laws, and scholars of Georgian and Abkhazian regional history.
