Vladivostok, Russian Federation
The article examines the financial situation of the city governments of the Far East in the last quarter of the XIX and early XX centuries. The financial and legal bases and budgetary statements of the city public administration are analyzed. The author comes to the conclusion that during the period under study, cities are experiencing a chronic financial crisis, the main cause of which was the imperfection of the legal and tax base of local self-government. The problem was aggravated by the unwillingness of the state authorities to implement effective measures to improve the financial and economic situation of cities.
