metadata.value: The paper deals with circumstances of development ‘The Native Statute’ by M. M. Speransky and his
  coworkers in 1822. As Siberian Governor-General M. M. Speransky was closely acquainted with the
  life, economy, social rules, self-government, internal and external conflicts of Transbaikal Khori-Buryats.
  In 1820 dealing with the affairs and aggravated conflicts among the ethno-territorial Transbaikal
  Buryat community, Speransky in fact took over management of the group, made necessary arrangements,
  and reformed self-government. Subsequently, on the basis of his crisis management experience
  Speransky developed provisions of ‘The Native Statute’. In this paper basic features of ‘The Native
  Statute’ (1822) have been analyzed. Analysis reveals the estate paradigm of ‘The Native Statute’. ‘The Native Statute’ was aimed, on the one hand, at preserving the relative autonomy of indigenous communities,
  and on the other, to promoting their integration into the social and economic institutions
  of the empire. ‘The Native Statute’, based on the realities of the Buryats, designated the official social
  class of ‘kochevye inorodtsy’ (nomads). This legislation in its ‘conservational’ aspect, in fact, legalized
  and codified the practice, which was already among the Buryats as an integral part of their way of life
  and government. Despite numerous attempts to revise and dissolve it, ‘The Native Statute’ remained
  effective until the early twentieth century. Stability of ‘The Native Statute’ was based on the fact that
  it, unlike many other legislation, did not break the existing adapted structure of the economy, social
  practices and institutions of self-governance, but merely arrange them, carefully fit into empire-wide
  estates model. Refs 22.
