The gentry nobility assembly (deputatskoye dvorianskoye sobraniye) was established in 1785 by Catherine the Great as the local governing body of the nobility. These books were compiled and turned into the assembly to confirm their hereditary status. There was widespread corruption: bribery, false genealogies, and forged documents. In Ukraine, the ranks of the nobility swelled to 23-25,000 by the late 1780s. Petitions were reviewed and 10,000 were rejected in the 1790s. | The gentry nobility assembly (deputatskoye dvorianskoye sobraniye) was established in 1785 by Catherine the Great as the local governing body of the nobility.
