The article examines the socalled petty-bourgeois question, by which the author understands the complex of legal and social problems faced by this class at the beginning of the last century. All these problems worsened during the all-Russian systemic crisis that engulfed our country in 1917. They were most fully articulated at the All-Russian pettybourgeois сongresses held in the same year in the cities of Voronezh and Moscow. The main of these problems are the dilemma of preserving or eliminating the estate in the realities of the new Russia, after the overthrow of the autocracy, and the land issue. The latter, to a large extent, was generated by the City Regulations of 1870 and 1892, which cut off the bourgeoisie from disposing of urban lands in favor of not class, but urban self-government in the person of the City Duma and the City Council.
