In the spring of 1865, zemstvos of the Kherson province were the first to start their activities in Ukraine. Even in the conditions of imperial reality, with the dominance of representatives of the elite strata of society in the zemstvo assemblies, despite administrative interference and direct persecution of individual zemstvo leaders, Kherson zemstvo ensured the socio-economic and cultural progress of the region within their powers. Achievements in many areas of regional development brought the zemstvo of the Kherson province to the forefront of the national level.
Many years of activity of zemstvos necessitated the organization of zemstvo records, which resulted in the “Systematic summaries of resolutions of the Kherson Provincial Zemstvo Assembly” organized by structural and chronological features. They are the most valuable source on the history of zemstvos in Kherson province, as they contain organizational and administrative documentation of the provincial zemstvo assembly.
