Odessa was an indisputable leader among Ukrainian provinces, it took the 4th
place in the empire in regard to the level of municipal incomes;
–
the majority of towns in the south of Ukraine had a million incomes or
approached to this figure;
–
towns were leaders in regard to profitability rates of municipal budgets;
–
the highest activity in the sphere of town improvement;
–
more substantial funds were allotted to education, medicine and engineering-
technical spheres.
Thus, in regard to «state-region-city-municipal self-government» the Russian
empire should be regarded as an empire of regions where each region had its own
(historically stipulated) properties (regional-individual specifics) including different
systems of values and priorities for development, which influenced towns’
development, representatives of which were regarded as civil institutions of power.
Municipal self-government defined, in its turn, a character of a town’s
development on an individual level and solved problems of financial, educational,
medico-sanitary and engineering-technical development.
