| Summary: | The work is dedicated to the memory of Zoya Veniaminovna Moshkina, Doctor of Historical Sciences, a
remarkable person, a teacher, a deep and demanding researcher of the history of political hard labor in Transbaikalia.
For a long period of her activity in the field of science (about 30 years), about 100 scientific papers have
been written, including a monograph, articles in journals reviewed by the Higher Attestation Commission, works
on the results of participation in various All-Russian and regional conferences. Most of Zoya V. Moshkina’s scientific
works are devoted to the history of political hard labor and exile in Transbaikalia (Nerchinsk penal servitude).
Sudden death did not allow the scientist to create an updated systematic work on the history of penal servitude
in Transbaikalia, which was planned for the near future. Systematization of the author’s works in various areas of
research of the Nerchinsk political penal servitude, analysis of the problems and determination of the novelty of
her research allow us to call Z.V. Moshkina a leading historian on the history of political penal servitude and exile
in Transbaikalia. Zoya Moshkina’s scientific research was carried out at the junction of history, jurisprudence and
psychology, it is not only regional in nature but also have all-Russian significance, since political hard labor in
the second half of the XIXth century was mostly concentrated in the Nerchinsk mountain district in Transbaikalia.
Zoya Moshkina’s works are a comprehensive study of the Nerchinsk political penal servitude (the organization
of the management system of political convicts, the regulatory framework for the maintenance of this category of
criminals, living conditions in penal servitude, the gender, age and social composition of political prisoners, the
behavior of convicts in conditions of penal servitude, etc.). The works by Z. V. Moshkina reflect personal, historical-
psychological, gender and sociological approaches relevant to modern historical science, the application of
which in the history of political hard labor has made a significant scientific novelty. The problems of the Trans-Baikal
historian’s research, new aspects of studying the problems of the Nerchinsk political penal servitude have
become a scientific basis for a new generation of scientists.
