Charusin studied the history and ethnography of the governorate and collected archival materials that were printed in the Estonian governorate gazette, which he edited . In particular, he examined the problem of the rights and privileges of the local nobility and the history of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Baltic States . Charusin was in close contact with his younger siblings Alexei Nikolajewitsch Charusin , Nikolai Nikolajewitsch Charusin and Wera Nikolaevna Charusina , who were also ethnographers.
