Abstract

Modernization processes in Russian Empire, which took place in the second half of the nine- teenth century, were distinguished by changing of social and economic life. The main changes in economic life stipulated the necessity of changes in the whole state system. Therefore during 60–70 years series of administrative and political reforms were conducted. They covered the basic components of life of the empire (provincial, judicial, military, educational, censorial, etc.). Modernization processes made a great impact on the increase of the number and signifi- cance of intellectuals. The demand for educated people, particularly in the South, stimulated the development of the educational sector. After the approval of the «Regulations of notarial part» (1866) notaries became very important for society because they were not only educated per- sons, but also had to fulfill a number of requirements in order to be able to engage in notary. Before taking the oath at a session of the District Court the notary had to comply with some requirements which related to various spheres of notary’s life. In particular, the person has to be a Russian citizen who is elder than 21. Also security deposit was compulsory. It was intended to provide compensation for damages caused by the notary professional activities. A special test was conducted by the head of the District Court, a senior notary and the prosecutor. During this test a person who claimed to occupy the position of the notary had to be tested in terms of the ability to expound notarial acts, knowledge of notarial proceedings’ forms, civil laws and various statutes required for notarial work. Modernization processes of Russian Empire in the second half of XIX century led to the re- forms that positively influenced the next aspects: active development of cities, particularly in southern Ukraine, raising the prestige of intellectual work, increase of the number of notary insti- tutions and strengthening of the notaries role in private and public affairs.
