| Description | Presented study attend to one of the "forerunner" of the modern financial institutions - orphan's offices (in the archive sources as "orphan's coffers"). Into these "coffers" there were deposited especially money of the under age persons, who hadn't singled yet (hadn't got married, hadn't become a prossessor of the estate and the like) and had received money in pursuance of the sequential payments of their inheritance. Of these "coffers" and deposited money were taking care the members of the village or urban administration, or more often (especially in villages) officials of authority. Deposited money were used for a support and clothe of the orphans, covering their school education, payments in diseases or the other financial transactions, and advanced the intensity of the credit business in the country. |
