This article provides a historical-legal analysis of the regulatory and legal foundations of governance in the Fergana Oblast between 1876 and 1917. Particular attention is paid to the normative acts of the Russian Empire that regulated the administrative system of Turkestan, especially the 1886 “Regulations on the Administration of the Turkestan Region.” The legal status and powers of the military governor, uyezd chiefs, volost administrators, and lower-level administrative bodies are examined. The study also considers the relationship between the formally established administrative model and its practical implementation and identifies the stages of initial formation, legal centralization, and subsequent administrative refinement.
