268 In the light of Vodarskii’s findings, we can safely say that Heinrich Pick played an important role in the genesis of the regulations for the St. Petersburg magistracy, but Vodarskii did not attempt to identify the sources Pick made use of in drawing up his proposal. Such a study must be conducted before it will be possible to draw any conclusions about the final regulation and about the legal-political aims its editors were attempting to achieve. A source critical study of Pick’s proposal might well reveal that he made use of the Swedish ordinance of 1672 concerning the governance of the city of Stockholm, since we know he had access to that document.-®** 3. The Russian instriiktsiia for Voevodas of 1719 and the Stvedish instruktion for landshövdingar of 1687: A Comparison In November 1718, Peter decreed in an ukaz that officials in the local administration were to be issued “instructions and other rules all according to the Swedish (rules),’” -®' and over the next two years the majority of the instructions drawn up for the local administration were patterned, to a greater or lesser degree, on their Swedish counterparts. Since it is not possible to analyze all of these instructions here, this section will limit itself to a discussion of the most important among them, that is, the instruktsiia for voevodas of 1719 and its Swedish counterpart, the instruklion for landshövdingar of 1687.•208 Anders Anton von Stiernman, cd., Samling iitaf Kongl. Bref, Stadgar och Förordningar etc. angående Sweriges Rikes Commerce, Politie och Oeconomic (6 v., Stockholm, 1747—1775), III, 1051 —1080; Cederberg, Beilage 1, 14, “Königlichc Verordnung iiber der Stadt Stockholm, Regiments-Form und des gantzen Rahts-Ambt und Verrichtung.” 2"' ZA (no. 54), 63. In 1719, instructions were issued for zemskie kamcriry (Swedish landskamrcrare, English provincial chief accountants), PSZ, V, no. 3,295, p. 632, and zemskie komissary (provincial commissaries), PSZ, V, no. 3,296, p. 638, which were drawn up on the basis of the Swedish instruktioner for landskamererare (1688) and härad bailiffs (1688), Instruktioner I, 42, 445; see also Miliukov, 465—471. In addition, instructions were drawn up for zemskie rentmeistery (Sw. lanträntmästare, Eng. provincial bursars), PSZ, V, no. 3,304, p. 660, zemskie sekretari (Sw. landssekreterare, Eng. provincial secretaries), PSZ, VI, no. 3,571, p. 182, and zemskie fiskaly (Sw. landsfiskaler, Eng. provincial prosecutors), PSZ, V, no. 3,479, p. 776. There do not appear to have been any Swedish counterparts to the instructions for provincial bursars and secretaries, for I have only found an instruktion for the provincial bursar in Bremen dated 1692; sec ÄMARK, 27, and Relation, 14. That which was to affect the provincial bursars and secretaries had to be taken from the instruktions issued to the other civil servants. 206 208
