20世纪初,俄罗斯帝国波罗的海边区,日耳曼贵族利用特权把持地方统治,严重阻碍了俄罗斯国家的一体化进程及现代民族国家的构建。因此,俄罗斯帝国政府试图通过一系列改革措施,整合边疆民族地区,加强政府在波罗的海地区的影响,缓和边区社会矛盾,实现帝国政府对边疆地区的直接统治。但最终,帝国政府的目标没有实现,革命终止了改革的进程。

In the early 20th century, German nobles had nJled the Baltic region with their privileges, which hindered the integration and the modem nation -state building of Russian Empire. Therefore, the Russian government had taken some measures to consolidate its influence in the ethnic minority areas, deescalate social contradictions there and realize its direct rule over the regions. In the end, however, the objects of the government failed, as its reform had been interrupted by the October Revolution in 1917.
