Summary
- The extremely detailed calendar presented here was prepared by Nikolai Golubtsov, an instructor at the Blagoveshchensk Theological Seminary. It contains six sections: 1. a general calendar; 2. a church calendar noting saints days, state holidays, holidays specific to the local diocese, and feast and fast days; 3. official information and statistics on the Russian Empire; 4. an overview of the Amur region, including its history and a description of the various ethnic groups in the region; 5. a section on rates and rules regarding postal and telegraph services, railroads, courts, commerce, and gold mining; and 6. lists of local, regional, and church officials with titles. The calendar also contains two maps: one of the city of Blagoveshchensk and another of the Amur region. Blagoveshchensk was founded in 1856 as a supply post to provision troops along the Amur. It was reclassified as a town in 1858. Its population grew very quickly in the last half of the 19th century, owing to the city's strategic and commercial importance on the Amur River. According the Russian census of 1897, the city's population in that year was 32,834. The almanac is preserved in the collections of the Russian State Library and was digitized for the Meeting of Frontiers digital library project in the early 2000s. World Digital Library.
