Abstract
The article, primarily on the basis of legislation and archival materials, consistently examines the conditions, ideas, directions and means of autonomy in the management of the Caucasus region. Maintaining the stability of the unified political and legal space of the imperial state required the authorities to carry out systematic measures taking into account the socio-political and legal traditions of the local multi-ethnic population. The author analyzes various kinds of legislative acts regulating the features of the official status of the governor in the Caucasian territories of the Russian Empire. The military-people’s administration, the predominant role in the local administrative system of the Ministry of War led to the subordination of the administration of the region to a predominant extent directly to the emperor.
