Akademisk avhandling för juris doktorsexamen vid Stockholms universitet 1979 Juridiska fakulteten 106 91 Stockholm ADissertation for the Doctor’s Degree in Law University of Stockholm Faculty of Law S-106 91 Stockholm Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the preconditions for the administrative and judicial reforms carried out in Russia between 1715 and 1722 with special regard for the influence of Swedish administrative institutions and Swedish law upon them. An attempt has been made to include all of the central and local administrative organs affected by these reforms, but the source materials available for this study have led to a much more thorough treatment of the fiscal administration and the administration of justice than of the other areas of governmental activity. It is clear that Peter the Great considered the Swedish administrative system to be the most suitable model for the intended reforms. Knowledge of the Swedish administration was provided by a German named Heinrich Pick who, at the tsar’s behest, studied the Swedish colleges at first hand. The principal finding of this study is that these reforms were more dependent upon Swedish prototypes than has hitherto been appreciated. Not only the external structure, but also the internal organization and the activities of the several administrative organs were borrowed from Swedish prototypes.
