155 the military tax accounts office and the militicbokskontoret were placed on the budget of the krigskollegium in When the budget for the Russian kamer-kollcgiia was drawn up in 1718, then, this office had disappeared from the organizational plan of the kammarkollegium, as well. The war office, however, remained on the budget of this college during the period 1715—1717, and its name was changed to the second adjustments office in 1718.*’^ The provisions office and the surveyors office of the Swedish system were not established as separate offices in the personnel budget of the Russian kamer-kollegiia, but it is possible to show that their functions were recognized as part of the responsibilities of that college and that they were covered in the budget under the rubric “Other civil servants under the leadership of the college.” Under this rubric one finds a master of provisions (proviantmester) who had “the stores as his charge” and a director {direktor) “over surveyors. The remaining rubric, “the mint,” was at first given its equivalent in the Russian kamer-kollegiia under the title Monetnoe delo,^’^' but it was transferred to the berg- i manufaktur-kollegiia in 1720.'*' Yet another change in the organizational structure outlined in the budget for 1718 was made during the formulation of the instruktsiia for the kamer-kollegiia. This change concerned the administration of clothing (uniforms). The first, or A, version of the instructions included provisions for a clothing office {platenaia kamora) equivalent to the klädekammaren in the Swedish kammarkollegium.^^ In connection with the second, or B, version, however, the decision was made to place the clothing office under the supervision of the krigs-kollegiia; Peter noted by the section on the clothing office “transfer to the krigs-kollegiia" (“Otnest’ v Voinskuiu Kalegliu”).**^ The conclusion one must draw fromthis comparison of the two personnel budgets is that the organization of the kammarkollegium at Stockholm served as the basis for the corresponding college at St. Petersburg and that, for all practical purposes, it was adopted by the Russians as a model in their planning for the kamer-kollegiia. *•* Royal letter to the krigskollegium, July 30, 1714, RA, Riksregistratur; RA, Statskontorets arkiv, Huvudarkivet, Personalstat 1716. ** Edén (1941), 180. ** Tsgada, f. 248 dclo 42 1. 16v.
