description The article investigates activities performed by the Astrakhan Governors, V. Tatishchev and N. Beketov, both having been somewhat earliest conductors of the mid-lS111 century resettlement policy. It examines ideas, projects, and actual efforts undertaken by the two executives aimed to establish and develop settlements; special attention is paid to their impact on the formation of resettlement policies in South Russia. Their work was significantly hampered by underpopulation, harsh weather conditions, open and indefinite borders, lack of military and human resources. Tatishchev and Beketov laid the main principles of resettlement policies in Astrakhan borderlands that basically — for the government for many years to come — consisted in peopling territories adjacent to key transport corridors, wide involvement of military servants and diverse nationals as human resources for such resettlements. The historiographic basis of the research is constituted by published materials and documents of the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts.
