MINISTRY OF JUSTICE, one of the Russian Empire's central public institutions. Established on 8 September 1802 on the basis of the Collegium of Justice, and reached a final structure in 1811. The Ministry was headed by the Minister (assigned at the same time as the Senate Procurator General), and was comprised of one Department (two from 1890), an Office (merged in 1892 with the Second Department), the Land-Surveying Administration Board (from 1870) and the Chief Prison Administration (from 1895). The Ministry of Justice also included the Jurisprudence College, the Konstantinovsky Land Surveying Institute in Moscow, and the Senate Archives and Printing Office. In St. Petersburg, the Ministry of Justice was primarily located at 25 Italyanskaya Street (formerly the Procurator General Prince A.A. Vyazemsky Palace; 1753-55, architect S.I. Chevakinsky), and at 4 Liteiny Avenue (the St. Petersburg Judicial Board and the St. Petersburg District Court). The Ministry was abolished after October 1917 (some ministry departments functioned until 1918), and served as the basis for the People's Commissariat of Justice.
