Abstract

The article examines personal income sources as one of the main factors that ensured and alleviated financial situation of political exiles to Nerchinsk katorga of 1860s-70s. Based on a wide range of archives, memoirs and epistolary sources, as well as legal acts and laws, the whole range of ways, available for political convicts to provide for themselves financially, has been revealed for the first time: legal and illegal ways of obtaining money have been determined. Along with the newly discovered archival materials, such as reports and correspondence of one Nerchinsk commandant about personal funds of political convicts, for the first time in scientific practice the article introduces previously unknown to Russian researchers: personal correspondence of Italian native Luigi Caroli and a diary of E. Andreoli published in Italy in a book by Angiola Zanchi “The Drama of Luigi Caroli”.
