Abstract
The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the problem of reception and accommodation of refugees from the Western regions of the Russian Empire in the territory of the Ryazan province in the period from 1915 to 1916. The study uses documents from the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Historical Archive and the State Archive of the Ryazan Region. The relevance of the topic is due to the insufficient degree of its scientific elaboration in historiography. Despite considerable interest in the history of the First World War and related migration processes, the issues of reception and accommodation of refugees in the Ryazan province during this period remain virtually unexplored. This circumstance highlights the need for a special study. The article aims at a comprehensive analysis of the refugee resettlement process in the Ryazan province in the context of administrative, social and economic aspects. The research focuses on the mechanisms and tools used by local authorities, including the governor, zemstvo institutions and city associations. Thus, the study is an attempt at a comprehensive study of one of the little-studied pages of the history of the Ryazan province in the context of the First World War. The paper uses methodological approaches to analyze the problem and identify its features, which contributes to the deepening of knowledge about migration processes and their impact on the socioeconomic development of the region in wartime conditions.
