Abstract
The problem of rational combination of the principles of free trade and security customs policy has always been and still remains one of the most acute and controversial in the practice of international economic relations. That’s why studying of Russian experience in protecting its economic interests on Ukrainian territories allows to prevent repeating mistakes while planning modern customs policy. The purpose of the article is to study the influence of customs policy of Russian government on the state of trade on Ukrainian territories in the first half of the XIX-th century. The subject of consideration is Russia’s customs policy on Ukrainian territories in the XIX-th century. The tasks for achieving the goal are the following: to study customs and rate policy of Russian government in mentioned period; to examine the impact of the rate of 1822 on trade in Ukrainian provinces; to analyze customs policy of Russian government on Ukrainian territories in the first half of the XIX-th century; to examine the changes that took place in customs business at the XIX-th century. It can be believed that studying the history of customs policy of Russian government on Ukrainian territories was started in the mid-1980s. This course of scientific researches was of great importance in the papers of Russian scholars. The researchers collected and systematized enormous factual material, developed new methods and determined the approaches for customs business studying, turned to its history in particular regions. The history of customs business continues to be studied fragmentarily and remains one of the least developed in the national historiography today in Ukraine. Purposeful policy of tsarist government, aimed at the final inclusion of the commodity market of Chernihiv region to the all-Russian market, led to the fact that in the first half of the XIX-th century the trade space of Chernihiv province was completely obeyed to Russian merchants. Stationary trade progressed noticeably in conditions of development of commodity-money relations. Markets gradually turned into places for sale goods of everyday use and livestock. Russia’s economic policy in relation to Chernihiv province at the beginning of the XIX-th century remained colonial by its character. It was carried out, mainly, by means of customs policy of the empire that was protective by its character in the interests of Russian industry. Prohibitive rate of 1822, which was intended to help to develop Russian manufactory, changed the character of the fairs of Chernihiv province. Trade relations of the region with foreign states were terminated. Trade in the region began to work in order to meet the interests of Russian manufacturers. Only after the adoption of new customs rate on October 13, 1850, the first step in order to loosen up the forbidden system of Russian Empire’s foreign trade was made and a moderately protective phase of customs policy was initiated.
