A Prikas ( Russian приказ ) is the Russian word for “order” or “order” or “commanded office”, which was given by the tsar to individual dignitaries.

Tsarist empire

In order to carry out this mission, the dignitaries had to use staff; in the case of repetitive tasks, a kind of authority was created to which the name Prikas was transferred. These prikase were entrusted with very different tasks, their importance being determined by the position of the leader in relation to the tsar. There was no clear delimitation of the areas of responsibility of the individual Prikase. Each Prikas had his own income and expenses, his own jurisdiction over his employees and over the population under him. Many prikase existed for a short time, while others became permanent institutions. At times there were up to sixty prikase, which were directly subordinate to the tsar.
