The development of the State nobility land bank in the Ryazan province (1901–1917). P. 48- 57.

UDC 947(Р473.8) «1901/1917»

The paper treats the activities of the Ryazan Department of the State Nobility Land Bank during the final period of its work. The paper maintains that the main aim of the government was to support landed nobility whose land was mortgaged to the nobility bank and to suppress the growing number of untitled members of the land owing classes. The State Nobility Land Bank focused on executing mortgages and remortgages, which did not affect the amount of debts of the nobility. The Bank thoroughly assessed the mortgaged lands. The paper maintains that banking operations were susceptible to fluctuations in mortgage rates, local climatic and agricultural peculiarities, monetary policy. In the Ryazan Province, especially in its southern part, the revolutionary movement manifested itself through agricultural strikes. The analysis of pre-

revolutionary press serves as a basis for a comparative study of the State Nobility Land Bank and other political and economic forces. The paper maintains that up to 1906 (the year of the Stolypin agrarian reforms) the State Nobility Land Bank used to be the main mortgage institution.
