description Background. The article is devoted to a detailed analysis of the legal framework governing the guardianship system over minors in the Russian Empire in the 19th — early 20th centuries, with an emphasis on the Ufa province. The work examines the key stages in the formation of the legal basis for guardianship, including the adoption of the main legislative acts and their evolution in the context of changing socio-economic situations. Particular attention is paid to the role of the state, public and church organizations in the development of the guardianship system, as well as the mechanisms of interaction between these structures. The influence of regional factors on the implementation of guardianship, including demographic characteristics and socio-cultural context, is analyzed. The study allows us to identify patterns in the development of social assistance to minors and determine the importance of state and public initiatives in the formation of a child support system in the Russian Empire. Purpose. Study of the legal framework and functioning of the guardianship system for minors in the Ufa province of the Russian Empire in the 19th – early 20th centuries. Materials and methods. Legal, socio-economic and organizational aspects of guardianship over minors in the Ufa province in the context of the historical development of similar systems on the territory of the Russian Empire in the period 1865-1917. Results. An analysis of the legal framework and archival sources revealed that in the Russian Empire of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the guardianship system for minors was based on the interaction of state, church and public institutions. The state regulated the activities of orphanages and guardianship bodies through laws, such as the Code of Laws of the Russian Empire. These documents defined the basic requirements for the management of orphanages and organized the mechanism for distributing state subsidies. Regional features, for example, in the Ufa province, consisted of a significant role of local charitable societies, parish guardianships and rural communities. Archival data show that in the province there were initiatives to create orphanages with funds from philanthropists, which ensured their sustainability in the context of insufficient state funding. Governors' decrees played an important role in adapting general rules to local conditions. Church structures provided both material and spiritual support for minors, which is confirmed by data from parish funds. It was also found that women's participation in charitable initiatives in regions such as Ufa contributed to the effectiveness of aid. This result points to the need for further study of the role of gender factors in the development of social support.
