CHANCELLERY, HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY'S Personal, a supreme public institution. The Chancellery consisted of several divisions, which were established during the first half of the 19th century to carry out the Sovereign's personal supervision over various domains of state administration. The First Division (1812-1917; in 1812-26 and 1882-1917 it was called His Imperial Majesty's Personal Chancellery) was in charge of promotions in rank, awarding of decorations, and the development of Imperial Decrees and Orders. The Second Division (1826-82) administered the writing of legislation and the publication of various laws (Publication of Complete Laws, Code of Laws); it was abolished in 1882, and its functions were transferred to the State Assembly Legislature Codification Department. The Chancellery also included the Third and Fourth Divisions (1828-1917, from 1880 called His Imperial Majesty's Personal Chancellery for Empress Maria's Institutions), which was in charge of charitable and women’s educational institutions. In addition, the Chancellery was comprised of a number of temporary divisions and offices relating to His Imperial Majesty (for the administration of State property, for affairs relating to the Caucuses, for the affairs of the Kingdom of Poland). The First Division was located at the Count A.A. Arakcheev Residence, at the intersection of Kirochnaya Street and Liteiny Avenue until 1828; later it was situated at the Winter Palace (1828-56), the Jesuit Board Building at the intersection of Italyanskaya Street and Ekaterininsky Canal (1856-73), and finally in a wing of the Mikhailovsky Palace (4 Inzhenernaya Street, 1873-1917). The Second Division occupied the residence of architect A.H. Pehl, while the Fourth Division was quartered at 7 Kazanskaya Street. References: Селезнев И. Я.
