The state of the mentally ill in the Stepnoye general-governorships (Akmola, Semipalatinsk and Semiruchensk regions) for the period from 1893 to 1897 inclusive

The steppe general-governorship for the most part, namely the Akmola and Semipalatinsk regions, was previously administratively part of Western Siberia, and the Semiruchensk region belonged to Turkestan. Western Siberia was made up of the provinces of Tobolsk and Tomsk. Initially, my aim was to investigate the regions of the former Western Siberia, but later I had to abandon the intended task and confine myself to the regions of the Steppe General Governorship.
