The Sibirsky prikaz (Russian: Сибирский приказ), also translated as Department of Siberian Affairs, was the prikaz of the Russian central government responsible for Siberian affairs between the 17th and 18th centuries.

History

[edit]

From 1599 to 1637, the Kazansky prikaz was responsible for the administration of Siberia, which included most of the eastern regions of the Russian state.[1] Due to the growth of the Siberia-related agenda, the Sibirsky prikaz was separated from the Kazansky prikaz in 1637, and until 1663, both were headed by the same administrator. Boris Mikhailovich Lykov-Obolensky [ru] was its first administrator.[2]

Local governors (voivodes) were appointed by the Sibirsky prikaz and delegated with a large amount of power: administrative, judicial, police, financial, taxation, military, and if necessary, diplomatic, as many frontier regions directly bordered China and Mongolia.[3]

In 1711, the prikaz was reorganised into the newly established Siberia Governorate. Prince Matvei Petrovich Gagarin [ru] was its last administrator.[2][4]
