Army-horse censuses—a register of the number of horses fit
for army service in case of mobilisation, was, as a rule, taken
in tsarist Russia every six years. The first census was taken in
1876 in 33 gubernias in the west of Russia. The second census
was taken in 1882 and covered the whole of European Russia,
the results being published in 1884 under the title Horse
Census of 1882. In 1888 a census was taken in 41 gubernias, and
in 1891 in the remaining 18 gubernias and in the Caucasus.
The examination of the data gathered was undertaken by the
Central Statistical Committee, which published them in the
abstracts: Statistics of the Russian Empire. XX. Army-Horse
Census of 1888 (St. Petersburg, 1891) and Statistics of the Russian
Empire. XXXI. Army-Horse Census of 1891 (St. Petersburg,
1894). The next census was taken in the years 1893-1894 and
covered 38 gubernias of European Russia, the results being published
under the title Statistics of the Russian Empire. XXXVII.
Army-Horse Census of 1893 and 1894 (St. Petersburg, 1896).
Data of the army-horse census for the years 1899-1901, covering
43 gubernias of European Russia, one Caucasian gubernia and
the Kalmyk steppe of the Astrakhan Gubernia made up Vol.
LV of the Statistics of the Russian Empire (St. Petersburg, 1902).
The army-horse censuses were investigations that covered all
the peasant farms. In his book, Lenin utilised the census
material when examining the process of the differentiation of
the peasantry. p. 141
Lenin made a detailed analysis of the material contained in
Blagoveshchensky’s compilation in a special notebook and in
the remarks he wrote in the margins. These have been published
in Lenin Miscellany XXXIII, pp. 89-99. p. 142
Lenin refers here to the title of the previously mentioned essay by
the Liberal Narodnik, Vorontsov (V. V.), that appeared in 1892.
