| description |
The article analyzes the transformation processes in the transport system of the Russian Empire as a result of Catherine II’s legislative activity. The empress considered roads not only as means of transportation but also as means of communication (including information communication) linking the whole state. The new road system was to reflect the hierarchy of state power location: capitals – principal towns of provinces – principal towns of districts – gentry estates and rural settlements. Of particular interest are technical innovations in road construction, river channels, bridges and other structures that were especially developed during that period. Some of them were so idealized that they finally remained unrealized.
