General: Ten official revisions were conducted in the Russian Empire through 1859. Enumeration began in Belarus, after it was annexed by that empire, with the fifth revision (1794-1808), and continued with the sixth (1811), seventh (1815-1825), eighth (1833-1835), ninth (1850-1852) and tenth (1857-1859). One copy was kept in the county treasury (uezdnoe kaznacheistvo) and the other was sent to the provincial fiscal chamber (gubernskaiia kazennaia palata). Separate lists were kept for the different social classes such as merchants (kupechestvo), townspeople (meshchane) and peasants (krestiane). Revision lists (skazski) are filed and bound by districts and large cities. | General: Ten official revisions were conducted in the Russian Empire through 1859.
