A thorough and careful analysis of imperial officialdom, particularly its provincial establishments, is necessary for a complete understanding of the Russian empire in all its complexities, says Vladimirov (history, Kennesay State U.). She contributes to that effort with a case study of the provincial officialdom in ten provinces of Russian Poland between when it was formed after 1865 and Polish independence in 1918. Her topics include the structure of the bureaucracy and the rank and file system; education, religion, and nationality as factors in recruitment and advancement; bureaucratic elites; symbols and rituals; the bureaucratic dolce vita; and shamans of knowledge.
