Much attention was paid to the implementation of financial reforms in the Russian Empire. The most significant works include works on the history of finance. It is particularly important to emphasize the importance of research on the formation of the Ministry of Finance, which was an integral part of the financial and legal reform in the empire of the first half of the XIX century. Archaic, contradictory legal norms, lagging behind public relations, the constant growth of public debt, the absence of a single state budget, high inflation rates and a chronic budget deficit are features that characterize the financial system of the Russian Empire at the turn of the XVIII-XIX centuries.
