Abstract

We propose a systematic approach to the study of the South Russian counties garrisons formation principles located along the Belgorod and Tambov lines. We consider the state policy on attraction of various categories of the population for record in military people, including differ-ent social groups: peasants, relatives of service class people, townspeople. Particular attention is paid to attracting immigrants from the Don and Ukraine to new countries. We note economic and social measures to attract migrants. On the basis of new documents we trace the policy of the Russian government on forcible resettlement to the southern border of exiles which in the middle of 17th century considerably strengthened a number of local garrisons. We emphasize the predominant role of government colonization of the southern suburbs in the 17th century.
