In the first half of the 19th century a specific practice developed in the Orenburg borderland. According to it, foreign slaves (we use this term to designate slaves who weren’t Russian Empire’s subjects) were to be granted freedom as well as a choice whether to return home or convert to Orthodoxy and become Russian subjects. However, in the materials of the Joint State Archive of Orenburg Region we have found several deviations from this practice.
