   A zemstvo (Russian: земство, IPA: [ˈzʲɛmstvə], plural zemstva – Russian: земства) was an institution of local government set up during the great emancipation reform of 1861 carried out in Imperial Russia by Emperor Alexander II of Russia. Nikolay Milyutin elaborated the idea of the zemstva, and the first zemstvo laws went into effect in 1864.

1. Zemstvo

   The zemstvo was a form of local government that was instituted during the great liberal reforms performed in Imperial Russia by Alexander II of Russia. The idea of the zemstvo was elaborated by Nikolay Milyutin, and the first zemstvo laws were put into effect in 1864. After the October Revolution of 1917, the zemstvo system was shut down in most of Russia except where the Bolsheviks failed to take power. The system of local self-government in the Russian Empire was presented at the lowest level by mir and volosts and was continued, so far as the 34 Guberniyas of old Russia are concerned, in the elective district and provincial assemblies. These bodies, one for each district and another for each province or government, were created by Alexander II in 1864. They consisted of a representative council and of an executive board nominated by the former. The board consists of five classes of members: ⁕large landed proprietors, who sit in person; ⁕delegates of the small landowners, including the clergy in their capacity of landed proprietors; ⁕delegates of the wealthier townsmen;
