The research aims to reconstruct the social portrait of the voevods of the Kungur Uyezd in 1728-1737. The scientific novelty of the work lies both in the introduction of new historical sources into scientific use and in the summarization and systematic presentation of data that made it possible to reconstruct the social portrait of a regional administrator in Russia after the death of Peter the Great. The work was carried out within the framework of the methods and approaches of the history of administration and personal history. It was based on historical-comparative and biographical methods, as well as methods of source studies. The result of the study was generalized data on the social origin, experience in military and civil service, average age, and literacy level of the voevods of the Kungur Uyezd who held this position in 1728-1737. In the course of studying sources and historiography, it was concluded that the formation of the career path of a significant part of the voevods of the Kungur Uyezd occurred at the end of the 17th – first quarter of the 18th century, reproducing the management models that developed during the reign of the first Russian emperor.
