Abstract

Цель статьи - рассмотреть состав рабочих сил, участвовавших в процессе строительства объектов инфраструктуры Украинского (Слободско-Украинского) военного поселения с 1817 до 1857 года, уровень их профессиональной подготовки, способы комплектования и обучения. = The article analyzes the structure of labor force involved in the process of building infrastructure in Ukrainian (Slobodsko-Ukrainian) military settlement from 1817 to 1857. The author in chronological order investigates facts of involving into the building works unprofessional workers as well as military working units. Natives of districts, who for some reason are not engaged in agricultural work and active service, are the main source of labor force manning. On the basis of archival documents we find out construction specialties and ways of training craftsmen. With the development of military settlements there is a tendency to release settlers-owners from building duties through the use of external and internal resources. The article reveals a special role of military labor battalions in the districts as polyfunctional manufacturing complexes. Besides, the role in the construction of such units as furschtatt and temporary working companies, parks of animal-drawn transport is examined.
