Description

The Turkestan Military District was created during the military reform of 1874, carried out in the Russian Empire by Minister D.A. Milyutin, when the entire territory of the empire was divided into 14 military districts. The first commander of the troops of the Turkestan Military District (1867-1882) was Konstantin Petrovich von Kaufman. The commander of the troops of the district simultaneously held the posts of Governor-General of Turkestan and chief ataman of the Semirechye Cossack Host. On December 26, 1897, the Transcaspian and Semirechye regions passed from the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, respectively, into the Turkestan Military District, and were placed under the supreme oversight of the Governor-General of Turkestan. The military-statistical description gives a brief military-geographical survey of the Dzungar-Semirechye border region, with descriptions of the fortifications of the Semirechye region, its territorial organization, population, and certain routes.
