Abstract
For the first time in historiography, a special case of general imperial discussions about changing the rights of the city and city voters in the zemstvo self-government of Russia at the beginning of the XX century is considered in the article on the example of the Nizhny Novgorod province. The initiatives proposed by the institutes of municipal self-government of the province on the allocation of cities into separate institutions of zemstvo self-government are considered. The key reasons for these initiatives are highlighted: the insecurity of urban interests in zemstvo assemblies, the peculiarities of the zemstvo electoral system and the high financial burden on the city in the formation of the zemstvo budget. The reaction of the zemstvo self-government of the Nizhny Novgorod province to these projects is shown.
