Abstract

Analyses the distinctive social and political conditions and character of occurrence of the little Russian territories into the Russian Empire. The author recorded that these circumstances are not clearly defined paths and areas of joint public-legal existence. Accordingly, the historical-legal evaluation process by contemporaries Pereyaslav range from forced entry, the protectorate to the contractual nature of the relationship and depend on a common understanding of the little Russian history. Hence it is alleged the judgment of the natural organizing effect of the Supreme power in the political space of a single state. Administrative system of Ukraine recorded acts of the Russian monarch in the context of the functioning of local institutions, headed by Hetman on the principles of selectivity, tradition, citizenship, service, and loyalty. It is concluded that in the period of the beginning of the administrative-territorial autonomism remain, with few exceptions the sphere of military administration and Finance. It is noted that the lack of a systematic law forced the administration to be guided by practice and actually a legal practice are increasingly the sovereign right of the monarch to determine the form of the state unity on the basis of his views and will.
