Summary/Abstract: This article marks an attempt to draw the attention of researchers to the consequences of the existence of the Russian imperial bureaucracy on the territory of the later Republic of Poland. Bureaucracy is understood here as an objective management tool (law, structure, officials and documents). The Russian bureaucratic model was introduced in the administration of the Kingdom of Poland in 1867. The major assumption of the article is that the elements of this system were in operation also in the 20th century.
