“Table of Ranks” - that’s the name of the special document that governed the civil service in the Russian Empire. It was approved by Peter I in 1722 and was valid until 1917. During this period, it was more than once supplemented with new information.
His main idea is to systematize all the ranks that at that time existed on the territory of the empire. In this regard, they were described, arranged in seniority and set out in a clear sequence.
In addition to the systematization of ranks, the document reflected such provisions as:
- wage;
- rights and obligations;
- penalties for failure to fulfill obligations;
- rewards for good faith.
All ranks were divided into three types, which included:
- military;
- State
- courtiers.
They were divided into 14 classes. Initially, 263 posts with their detailed description were fixed in the considered regulatory act. Later, some of them were abolished.
In tsarist Russia, the “Table of Ranks” included information explaining in detail the inheritance rights, the nuances of career advancement and the rules for contacting a particular official.
Service weapon
