MECHANISMS OF CONTROL OVER FOREIGN SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE
This article examines the system of control imposed on foreign scientific expeditions in Turkestan during the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, when the region formed part of the Russian Empire. It analyzes the institutional interaction between the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the War Ministry, the administration of the Turkestan Governor-Generalship, and the Imperial
Russian Geographical Society. Particular attention is paid to the procedures for granting travel permits, approving routes,
providing escorts, and monitoring correspondence, maps, and research materials.
