Revision Lists are taxation records that look similar to a census. In 1718, Tsar Peter the Great Instituted a head tax, also known as the “soul” tax. In 1719, revision lists, or enumerations of the taxable population began. There were ten revisions taken sporadically between 1719 and 1858. The dates of the ten revisions can be found below.
