Abstract
The article analyzes the process of changes in the sphere of state and local government during the first quarter of the XVIII century. Considering the features of the city government reform, the introduction of new institutions and procedures in the field of management, the author concludes that during this period the boundaries of trust between the tsarist/imperial authorities and persons involved in process of management were changed. As a result of a deliberate rejection of the aristocratic model of public service, a significant number of representatives of the urban and noble classes were involved in the process of management. The author used problem-chronological, historical-typological, historical-critical methods, as well as the method of content analysis. It is concluded that although many innovations of the first quarter of the XVIII century were not of a long-term nature, they served as the basis for subsequent transformations of the second half of the XVIII century.
