Abstract

Current research is an exploratory study investigating actions, socio-historical context and characters of bureaucrats in an emergency situation of Trinity Fire in Moscow of 1737. Microhistory approach is applied to analysis of primary sources: the interrogation reports produced by investigators over three years period following the disaster. These dry formal documents act as windows into lives, beliefs and lies of the bureaucrats and by proxy muscovite society of the times of Anna Ivanovna as a whole. The resulting analysis then not only investigates formal procedures and duties related to firefighting and civil service of the time, but provides commentary on how civil servants of various social standing positioned themselves with regards to religion, state and personal moral responsibility.

Özet

Bu araştırma, 1737 Moskova’sında gerçekleşen Trinity Yangını acil durumu esnasındaki eylemleri, sosyo-tarihsel bağlamı ve bürokratların karakterlerini inceleyen bir keşif çalışmasıdır. Faciayı takiben üç yıl boyunca müfettişler tarafından oluşturulan sorgu kayıtları bu çalışmanın birincil kaynaklarını oluşturmaktadır ve bu kaynakların analizinde mikro tarihçi yaklaşım uygulanmıştır. Bu resmi evraklar hayatlara, karakterlere, inançlara, bürokratların yalanlarına ve bu sayede de bir bütün olarak Anna İvanovna zamanlarının Moskova toplumuna açılan birer pencere teşkil etmektedir. Sonuçta ortaya çıkan analiz, yalnızca zamanın yangınla mücadele ve kamu hizmeti ile ilgili resmi prosedürlerini ve görevleri incelemekle kalmayarak, çeşitli sosyal duruşlara sahip memurların kendilerini din, devlet ve kişisel ahlaki sorumluluk hususlarına göre nasıl konumlandırdıkları konusunu da yorumlamaktadır.
