The paper considers the resettlement policy of the Russian Empire in the Pechora Uyezd of the Arkhangelsk Province during the late XIX - early XX centuries in the context of the agrarian crisis and the development of capitalist relations in the northern village. Specific characteristics of the Uyezd are described. The evolution of state policy from administrative restrictions to stimulating migrations through changes in the legal framework providing for the provision of state land, subsidies and benefits to migrants is traced. The systemic reasons for the inefficiency of the resettlement policy in the territory of the Uyezd are identified: natural and climatic barriers (short growing season, remoteness from the centers of economic activity), bureaucratic obstacles (difficulty for peasants in obtaining permits for resettlement, the fight against unauthorized resettlement), low competence of government bodies due to the lack of systemic research of the territory and incomplete consideration of regional specifics.
