The article deals with the process of Christianization and the issues of performing Orthodox rites on the Eastern outskirts of the Empire in the second half of the XVIII century, reconstructed on the basis of historical sources that were first introduced into scientific circulation. The working hypothesis of the research includes the thesis about the Christianization of Eastern Siberia as one of the means of state policy for the purpose of economic and administrative development of the region and ethno-cultural transfer, when the government created conditions for attracting non-believers to the state religion and offered an administrative and exacting regulatory framework in case of non-fulfillment of their Christian duties. The study suggests that in the second half of the XVIII century there was an increase in the Christianization of the peoples of Eastern Siberia and the establishment of separate administrative and ecclesiastical administrative units on the Eastern borders of the Empire indicate the continued integration of these territories into the state. The Christianization of local ethnic groups took place in accordance with the decrees and orders of the civil authorities, which explains its slow pace in the national suburbs. The non-violent method of attracting people to Orthodoxy, which is linked to the fiscal interests of the Russian administration and ensures the loyalty of the local population, has become an element of state policy. In addition, a system of benefits and gifts for the non-Russian population was used, creating favorable conditions for joining Orthodoxy, when the formality of baptism suited both the secular and Church authorities. The introduction of historical sources into scientific circulation provided opportunities to identify new facts about the history of Eastern Siberia’s Orthodoxy, namely, to establish the number of churches and the number of clergy of the Yakut order, the location of the customer, and to confirm the thesis of multiple baptisms in order to obtain tax benefits.

The author analyzes the economic documentation sent by the Nizhyn governors to the Malorossiyskyi Prykaz in the 1650s and 1670s. The excerpts published in the Acts relating to the History of Southern and Western Russia. This source the author used to show the nature of the interaction between the Nizhyn Voivodship and the government, to identify the main issues voivode had to report on and the tasks he had to solve, as well as to consider the situation of the Russian military contingent in Nizhyn.The author notes that the royal pledges led by the voivods appeared in Chernihiv, Nizhyn, Pereyaslav and other Ukrainian cities in the late 1650s. The names of the Nizhyn voivods, who served in the 1650-1670s, were identified, and the author described their activities. She found out that the voivode had to build a fortress in the city to defend against enemies, manage the affairs of their garrisons, send to Moscow financial statements of expenditures, to issue a sovereign's pay to the archers, to fight against their escape, which was very common, and in addition to monitor on the activities of the local Cossack administration and internal policy in the territories subordinate to them, submit to the king petitioners and petitions, provide information on events in the Ukrainian lands and in the neighboring territories, involve the local population in the work . Under the rule of Ivan Bryukhovetsky, voivode had to collect taxes from inhabitants of the Hetmanate (except for Cossacks and clergy). The author concludes that it was through regular reports that the voivode in Moscow knew about the state of affairs in the Hetmanate region and, following the information received, adjusted their policy towards the Ukrainian lands. Therefore, the voivodship runoff can be considered a valuable source from the history of the hetman's Ukraine itself.

Introduction. By this time the ministry has not yet become central bodies of executive power (CEB), whose leading function is the formation of State policy. The type chosen for another CEB does not always correspond to the features performed by this organ. It is difficult to separate the "functions in the implementation of State policy" from "some functions for implementing State Policy". The law does not define "public policy". This negatively affects the functioning of the CEB system. The aim of the article. The purpose of the article is analysis of existing problems in organization and activity of the system of the CEB and scientific substantiation of ways of their solution. Results. The term "ministry" means a kind of CEB has two main features: 1) The ministry responsible for the development of State policy; 2) The ministry is headed by a member of the government-a politician and not a government official. The main purpose of the executive power-solving body of social problems; Task – A set of measures that are derived from the main goal and subject to resolution to achieve it, specify the main purpose of the activity of the Authority; The function is activity related to obtaining a clearly defined final result which directly reflects the goal achievement and tasks of the executive authority. As for the optimal number of ministries in Ukraine, we believe that the decisive should be that all directions of the State policy are in the sphere of influence of the government, their unjustified chopping or consolidation between the ministries, as well as the chosen The number of ministries allowed to implement program of CMU. Along with the agencies, services and inspections should allocate another category of "other" CEBs, which neither in the form nor on the functional orientation do not belong to services, agencies, inspections. State policy-enshrined in the Constitution and laws of Ukraine, other acts of legislation the rules of operation and strategic objectives of the State and their due directions of activity of the State, approved by the decisions of the competent bodies of State power. Conclusions. The basis for the reform of the existing system of COIS proposed to put a division of functions in the formation of State policy and functions for the implementation of State policy. The CMU should provide for the formation and implementation of State policy. Ministry – to form State policy and ensure its implementation. Other CEBs – implement State policy. The legislation should define the meaning of the term "public policy". The tasks and functions of ministries shall be clearly defined. The type of each other CEB (service, Agency, inspection) shall comply with the legally fixed features for it.

Addressing the issue of the state policy of separating the "loyal" from the "disloyal" priests of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1945 to 1963 is one of the most neglected issues in Bosnia and Herzegovina's historiography. In this paper, based on unpublished historical sources and available literature, the author contextualises the political circumstances of the state policy of differentiation of the "positive" from the "reactionary" priests of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Bosnia and Herzegovina, pointing to the motives and policy-makers of such a policy, and analyses its manifestation and effects. Furthermore, the author separately analyses the causes, motives and flow of the policy of granting state honours and decorations to individual priests in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Indonesia pernah melalui masa sulit di rezim Orde Baru. Kala itu, segala sesuatu yang paralel dengan khususnya sejarah seputar perumusan dasar negara (Panca Sila), menjadi begitu sulit untuk diperoleh, apalagi untuk mengemukakan fakta yang sebenarnya. Penelusuran dokumen-dokumen sejarah begitu minim didukung pemerintah, dokumen-dokumen itupun tercecer di mana-mana, publik hanya diedukasi dengan pendidikan sejarah dari para sejarawan versi pemerintah saja. Bukan karena Orde Baru telah menjadi masa lalu, tetapi, karena apa yang disebut sebagai sumber-sumber primer perlu diperiksa kembali. Di antaranya seperti: Naskah UUD 1945, yang disusun M. Yamin; Risalah Sidang BPUPKI-PPKI yang disusun oleh Sekretariat Negara; Sejarah Nasional Indonesia Jilid VI, yang disusun oleh Nugroho Notosusanto (dkk); Piagam Jakarta, yang disusun oleh Endang Saifuddin Anshari; Sejarah Pemikiran Tentang Panca Sila, yang disusun oleh Pranarka. Sumber-sumber ini diam-diam diterima, dan diam-diam pula diakui bermasalah, atau diragukan keotentikannya. Persoalan tersebut semakin diperjelas dengan temuan sejumlah arsip oleh para sejarawan tata negara seperti A.B. Kusuma, di mana sebelumnya, “Panitia Lima” (1975) telah pula menegaskan bahwa sumber-sumber yang dipakai pemerintah tidak valid, di antaranya adalah naskah yang disusun M. Yamin. Maka, sejarah perumusan Panca Sila kadang berada di jalan bersimpang, simpang batas-tegas pertentangan tentang keotentikan sumber sejarah, menjadi tugas utama agar sumber-sumber tersebut diuji satu dengan lainnya (metode heuristik dan konklusi eksplanatoris). Agar mengerucut satu kesimpulan yang utuh dan sistematis mengenai sejarah perumusan dasar negara dan pemikiran-pemikiran yang dikemukakan di dalamnya menjadi satu kesatuan pemahaman atas kenyataan, dan agar menguatkan sendi-sendi konstitusionalitas kita hari ini yang mulai tercerabut dari akar sejarahnya, bagaikan “inang yang dipaksa berpisah dari induknya”.Indonesia had been through a difficult period in the “Orde Baru” regime. At that time, everything parallel with history especially around the basic principle of the state (Panca Sila) became so difficult to obtain, especially to express the facts. The tracking of historical documents was so poorly endorsed by the government. The documents were scattered everywhere. The public was only educated with historical education from only government version historians. Not because the “Orde Baru” has become the past, but, because the so-called primary sources need to be checked again. Among them are: Naskah UUD 1945, compiled by M. Yamin; Risalah Sidang BPUPKI-PPKI, prepared by State Secretariat; Sejarah Nasional Indonesia Jilid VI, compiled by Nugroho Notosusanto (et.al); Piagam Jakarta, prepared by Endang Saifuddin Anshari; Sejarah Pemikiran Tentang Panca Sila, prepared by Pranarka. The above sources are secretly accepted, and secretly admittedly problematic, or are doubted the authenticity. The issue was further clarified by the findings of archives by state historians such as A.B. Kusuma, in which before, the “Panitia Lima” (1975) had also asserted that the sources used by the government were invalid, one of them was the text compiled by M. Yamin. Thus, the history of Panca Sila sometimes in a stray way of disputes about the historical sources authenticity. That became the primary task for which resources were tested against each other (heuristic methods and explanatory conclusions). In order to conceal a whole and systematic conclusion about the history of the basic formulation of the state and the ideas expressed in it become a unity of understanding of reality, in order to strengthen the joints of our constitutionality today which begins to be uprooted from its historical roots, like “a host which is forced to apart from its main”.
