Abstract
The article examines violations of discipline and order in general secondary educational institutions of the Russian Empire at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries. The research is based on the materials of the circular regulations of the Ministry of Public Education which include the most extreme measures of deprivation of the right to study in educational institutions of the country. The quantitative and qualitative composition of violations, the dynamics of their development and the interaction of this process with the general historical processes in Russian society during this time period are analyzed. Conclusions are drawn about the growing revolutionary crisis in society including the example of the educational system within definite time and the development of the social crisis in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. The proportions of political, administrative and criminal offenses in secondary educational institutions of the country are considered. The article makes observations about religious, national and sexual violators in secondary educational institutions at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries and indicates some measures the government undertook to normalize the situation in the society.
