Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of law enforcement practice in criminal cases of crimes directed against the life of one of the spouses in families of the Tver, Yaroslavl and Tobolsk provinces in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. The authors examine the class affiliation of the parties, the authorities in which cases of murder of wives and husbands were considered, the causes of the crimes. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of legislation on various types of murders: intentional and accidental, intentional and vice versa, committed in a fight, in conspiracy, due to a painful state of mind and intoxication, due to light and severe beatings, poisoning. Both gender motives have been identified: male – jealousy (“severe insult from the murdered person”), female – the desire to avoid the threat of deprivation of life, and general – the intention to get rid of the obstacle to entering into a new marriage if the killer has a lover, hatred of spouse. The authors highlight aggravating and mitigating circumstances of crimes committed by spouses, as well as the existing methods to help avoid punishment.

Keywords: murder, spouses, crime, punishment, legislation, resolution of cases, Tver, Yaroslavl and Tobolsk provinces.

Abstract. In 395, according to the evidence of late antique authors, the Huns raided the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire in Transcaucasia. In the domestic historiography there is an opinion that during this raid a part of the nomads separated from the main "horde" and invaded the territories of the Bosporan kingdom, as a result of which the Bosporus (Late Antique Panticapaeum) suffered. In this article, based on the analysis of written sources and archaeological material discovered during field research in the Northern Black Sea region and the Upper Don region, the author determines the tribal affiliation of the nomads of Hunnish time, who made this rapid raid. According to his interpretation, the campaign to Transcaucasia should be associated with the Akatsirs, who were not inferior in military power to the "royal" Huns. Regarding the devastation of Panticapaeum, the author notes that the city could have suffered in the course of the established trade and economic contacts of the Bosporan kingdom with the nomads, as periodic raids and the policy of distant exploitation by the steppes were more profitable for ordinary nomads than trade. However, as the author notes, this reconstruction of the course of events can be finally confirmed only by further archaeological research in the Azov steppe, careful analysis of material sources found in the territories under the control of the Akatsirs and research in the western ethno-contact zone of the Bosporan kingdom, where organized border fairs could be located in the late 4th - early 5th centuries.

Keywords: Eastern Roman Empire, Bosporan Kingdom, Huns, Akatsirs, Transcaucasia, trade, military conflicts, nomadic raids.

Acknowledgments: The study was carried out at the expense of a grant from the Russian Science Foundation 23-28-01665 "Ethnocultural interaction in the ethnocontact zone of the Eastern Crimea in the first half of the I millennium AD."

Abstract. The author explores the features of the process of resettlement of peasant serfs and nobles Naryshkins in Shatsky district in 1704-1720. Relocations were carried out from black earth villages located along the left bank of the Tsna River to the Meshchera forests area. Based on archival materials, the process of relocation of peasant families is shown, the gender and age structure of the migrants is analyzed. Statistics indicate that they occurred annually over a long period of time. It is concluded that the black earth part of the Shatsk district at the beginning of the 18th century was well enough developed to become the basis for the economic colonization of the forest zone of this region.

Keywords: peasant serfs, Shatsk region, Naryshkins, economic development, black soils.
