Chinovnik
The chinovnik was a Russian title for a person having a rank and serving in the civil or court service. The institution of chinovniks existed de facto in the Tsardom of Russia and the Russian Empire, but until 1722 it did not have a clear structure. The de jure chinovnik institute was structured by the establishment of the Table of Ranks on February 4, 1722. "As the peasants were slaves of the landowners, the Russian people are still slaves of chinovniks", wrote Lenin in 1903, " Political freedom means the people's right to choose all the chinovniks themselves". After the victory of the October Revolution in 1917, the Table of Ranks was abolished, and the institution of chinovniks was liquidated. Persons employed in the field of public administration became known as civil servants. Types *A civilian chinovnik of the military department (military chinovnik or ordinary chinovnik) was a military officer wearing a class civilian rank.
