Cossacks heads in Central Siberia in XVII - the beginning of XVIII centuries (Yeniseisk, Krasnoyarsk)

This article is dedicated to the Cossack heads of Central Siberia in the XVII - early XVIII centuries. Their appearance in Siberian cities and fortresses was connected with the complexity of command and control system due to the gradual increase in the number of Siberian military men. These positions were derived from the positions of Streltsy's heads in European Russia. Cossack heads had broad powers and were the prototype of the military authorities and the military justice system.
