Abstract:
In this article, based on archive materials and published works, the author analyzes attempts to
emigration of the population from the Ismail, Akkerman county in the Amur/Priamur region, in the years
1893-1895. The main cause of population emigration is to be identified in the demographic processes that
took place in the province in the first half century, in the policy of colonization and denationalization
promoted by the Russian imperial administration, in the consequences of the agrarian reform of 1868,
frequent droughts, epidemics and raising taxes. The imperial authorities practically did not stand in the way
of granting permission for the emigration of the population. The main condition was to comply with the
circulars and regulations issued, according to which emigration was allowed.
