Eestimaa Kubermang), Estlandia - the northernmost three provinces of the Baltic region of the Russian Empire, stretched a strip from east to west along southern Shore Finnish Gulf And ended with the archipelago of the islands. Currently, Estonia is at almost the entire territory of the former Estland.

The first human settlements arose in the territory of the future province about 9500-9600 years BC, in the framework of the so-called Kunda culture. By the X-XIII centuries, the early refortel structure of society was formed, where the heads of the Military Druzhs were standing at the head of the land. In the XIII century, the Danish Crusaders, suppressing the resistance of Esta, included these lands to the Livonsky, and then Teutonic Order. In the XVI century, Estonia was amended by the Reformation, since this is the main religious confession on its territory, Protestantism became. In the same age, according to the results of the Livonian war, Northern Estonia became part of Sweden, and South Estonia was also included in Sweden after half a century. After the Northern War between Sweden and Russia, Estonia in 1721 was included in the Russian Empire. At the same time, Revevish province was formed.

Surface

The surface of the mainland E. province is a flat elevation that merges in the south with the elevations of the neighboring Lifelard province and parallel ledges descending in the West and the North to the sea, forming the so-called "mlinship" along the coast, and to the east - to the Lake the wisdom and the Narov River. Watershed in the Gulf of Finnish Bay with one, miracle of the lake and Riga Gulf - on the other hand passes in the middle of the province; The node is located on the Pantifer terrace in the parish of Klein Marien and Simonis (400 feet, the same hills - the Mountain of the Ovukavoy or Ebabefermyggi - reach 479 feet); From here to the West, the branch forming two more terraces is, in S.-Johannsky (240-300 feet) and in Rappel and Yerden arrival (240-250 feet). To the east, the Pantifer terrace decreases and goes into lowlands; In the south-east, it connects to the lifellands, and in the south-west, in the southern part of the Gapsal County, the ledges go down to the sea. North-Western and middle part of the Gapsal County Lowestly and the Swamp. The inner part of E. province, thanks to the deepeners formed by the river channels, mostly of the swampy and covered with forests; The deepening of these borders are hills reaching 350 feet (Pühtitsa at the town of Illuk and the village of Ruil). Self high Points E. The provinces are located in the south near the Lifelard border - near the village of Sall in the S.-Simonisk parish - Mount Emmomaghigi (Mother-Mountain) - 544 feet and in the same arrival of the shepherd Kellefer - 514 feet above sea level. Islands of E. province mostly lowlands and flat; The exception is the western part of Dago Island (up to 200 feet of height), Worms and some small islands, partly covered with rocky hills.

Geological structure

Geological structure. The foundation of E. province consists of solid from horizontal limestone plates. This limestone along with other stone layers under it (loose greenish clay sandstone, resinous clay slate, Ungulite sandstone, blue clay), belong to the Silician formation. The rocky base is unevenly covered with a layer of grant, clay and sand belonging to the deluel or to the ice period. In plates, the horizontal surface of the plates protrudes outwards, the same grant and crumbs, covering them, form embankments and dams from 30 to 70 feet height. These dams stretch on the mainland of the province, forming the swampy shorts, among which gravel hills are often tested (Saar, that is, the island). In the north of the province, along the sea shore, the dunes are drawn, consisting of rude, yellowish, rarely white sand; Similar dunes are found in the middle parts of the province. Boulders consisting of Finnish granite, unevenly scattered throughout. In lowlands, near the banks of the rivers, the bluish clay lay (3-6 feet thickness); It is rarely found in its pure form and mostly mixed with a grant. E. sea shores under the influence of waves are gradually destroyed; In connection with this destruction, the formation of marine yals is located (healing mud at the city of Gapsal). From minerals to E. provinces are mined: Limestone (on Dago island), sandstone (in various places), cement (in the estate of the Wessenberg district), marble (in the estate of the Vassalem of the Revel County), peat - is developed in many areas, especially in middle lane mainland; Total peatings in E. province about 100, of which are two large - in Gapsalsky (up to 100 square meters. Woolst) and in Vessenberg (300 square meters. Wool) counties. Peat extraction There is an Icestari; It goes exclusively for local consumption (on fuel). The soil prevails the clay and peat, the "black mill" lies between the places (a mixture of collapsed plant residues with clay and sand) belonging to the number of fertile soils.

Water

In addition to the sea and its parts attached to E. province, which is stated above, within the provincial, up to 200 lakes are located and it is irrigated by a variety of rivers. From the lakes, one moon (papes) occupies an extensive area, part of it, ranging to E. province, equals 468.5 square meters. Loaf; The rest of the lakes are all small, of which, more significant Ober-See, near the city of Revel (5.5 square meters. Wool), 7 lakes have an area from 1 to 3 square meters. Loaf each; The total area of \u200b\u200ball Lakes of the province, excluding the miracle, is equal to 17.2 square meters. Wool. Most of the lakes are located in the northern part of the province among the swamps, and their shores gradually fear. From rivers, like shipping, only one Narova is matters (Length 68 Loaf), the source of the Church of the Lake, current on the eastern border of the province; The rest of the rivers have only local importance as the irrigation source and to deliver drinking water. The most significant along the length of the river: the Kazargen River - in the southwest, near the Border Border, flows into the Baltic Sea (94 versts); Kehel or False (80 Wools), Yaggowa (73 versts), Brigitovka (70 Wool) - all the tributaries of the Gulf of Finland; The remaining rivers of the province have less than 65 lines. Crossing "Mlinte", rivers flowing to the north form waterfalls and thresholds; Of these, more significant: Narva or John, near the city of Narva, on the Narov River (20 feet height), Yaggowan (23 feet), Kehel, near Fall Castle (20 feet).

Climate

Climate E. province is more maritime, not only in the inner, but even in the other two Baltic provinces, since all E. province is located near the sea. Especially sea climate have west Coast And Dago Island, where direct winds reach with non-freezing and winter middle part Baltic Sea. Due to these reasons average temperature The year, and especially the autumn and winter, above E. province than in areas under the same breadth, but lying on the sea, and spring and summer, especially months from April to July, in E. provinces colder. The neighborhood of the sea has an effect on precipitation in the sense that they are relatively more autumn and relatively less than from May to July than in neighboring provinces to the south and east of E. province. Thanks to the thick rainerous network of the Liflyandsky Economic Society, which includes the provinces of Liflyand and E., this difference is visible. The swamps in E. province undoubtedly lower the temperature of the summer months and increase the risk of night frosts.

Population

The first census of the population of E. Gubernia was produced at the end of 1881, then it turned out 376337 shower of both sexes; According to the census in early 1897 - 433724; For 15 years, the population has increased by 37387 souls, which is 0.7% of the actual population growth per year. The urban population in 1881 consisted of 59814 souls, in 1897 - from 76315 souls; It increased by 16501 people, or almost 2% per year, while the rural population increased by 20886 people, or 0.4% per year.

According to 1897, per quarter. The mile in E. province accounts for 23.3 residents. In neighboring with E. provinces per quarter. The vest comes from St. Petersburg - 53.7, in Liflanda - 32.5 inhabitants; Such a huge difference comes from the presence in the last large cities - St. Petersburg and Riga. If we exclude the aforementioned cities in the calculation, in addition - Kronstadt in St. Petersburg, Yuriev in Liflyand and Revel to E. province, then the difference will smooth heavily and will succeed in 1 square meter. The vest in E. province - 19.7, in Liflanda - 24.3, in St. Petersburg - 16.6 inhabitants. From the counties of E. Province the currency of Torvalsky (Harritsky) - 31.4 residents per 1 square meter. The mile, which comes from being in it the largest in the province of the city center - Revel (64578 inhabitants); With the exclusion of it from the calculation of the population's density in the same county, it will drop to 18.4 inhabitants, and it will come close in this regard to the rest, rather uniformly populated by the governors. The islands ranked in the province, part of absolutely not populated; On Dago Island - up to 14 thousand souls (about 16 residents per 1 sq. Milestone), on Worms - 2100 people (25 inhabitants per 1 sq. Milestone). Cities in E. province 5: Revel (64.5 thousand inhabitants), Lenberg (5.5 thousand), Gapsal (3 thousand), Weisinstein (2.5 thousand) and the Bearer Baltic Port (less than 1 thousand. residents). Places 5, of which significant Kregolm (near the city of Narva Wessenberg County), with a huge manuff and 8 thousand inhabitants. Settlements Over 15000 - almost all separately standing estates, manages and foils; There are almost no villages consisting of numerous courtyards in the Estland province. In the vicinity of Revel and near Ust-Narov for last years There were large country settlements And resorts - Ekaterinenthal, Gugerburg, Mericul, etc., who have no permanent population and revived only in the summer.

In the absence of the developed data on the census of 1897, the religious composition of the population is determined according to the census of 1881: Protestants are 94.3% of the total population, Orthodox - 4.9%, Jews - 0.4%, Roman Catholics - 0.3 %, Persons Dr. confessions - 0.1%. Protestants almost all Lutherans; The Anglican was only 158 people, reformats - 128, etc. sects - several people. The Orthodox population is half (about 9000) lives in the city of Rolet, up to 7000 - in the eastern part of the Vessenberg county, on the shores of the Church of the Lake and up to 2000 - in Kregolm; Raskolnikov was 204 people, almost all - on the shore of the lake.

In the native language, the population is distributed as follows: Estonians 87.6%, Germans - 5.8%, Russians - 4.6%, Swedes - 1.4%, Jews - 0.4%, speaking other adverbs - 0.2% . Estonians ( indigenous population) accounted for 56% of urban and 94% of the rural population; 71% of Germans live in cities where they make up 26% of the total population; Russians - in the rive and in the eastern part of the province; The Swedes mainly (80%) live in a gapsal district, making up almost entirely the population of Worms Islands (now Wormsi) and others.

For 100 women, they fall into E. province of 96 men, in cities - 108, in counties - 94, in the city of Revel - 110. The distributions of the population for estates and classes of the Census of 1881 does not give. Eviction from E. province noticeably lately; Landless East masses move to the nearest Velikorvsky province - St. Petersburg, Pskov, Novgorod and Tver; There are no digital data about this movement. By the end of 1902, according to administrative data, in E. province there were 440694 inhabitants (217095 men and 223599 women) of them in cities - 80607, in the city of Revel - 68045.
