Abstract
The studying of the process of political and social structures reformation in Russia in XIX century is impossible without the attention of a researcher to the reformers’ personalities, including the “second plan” reformers, such as bureaucrats often hidden behind the members of an imperial family and ministers. The quantitative research of the degree of real influence of such informal factors of the career dynamics as patronage, disgrace and marriage of convenience on the rate of advance in the Table of Ranks of the members of the higher bureaucracy on the example of some members of the Council of State of Russian Empire is discussed. The source of the analysis is the prosopographic database “The members of the Council of State of Russian Empire of the second half of the XIX century”. The main instrument of the analysis is the comparison between the dynamics of the rank changes of the concrete persons and the average level revealed on the basis of the explored database. The result of the research is a supposition about a loose influence of the mentioned informal factors on the career dynamics. The marriage of convenience does not show any qualitative influence on the way of the career advance in analyzed cases. Patronage and disgrace demonstrate some influence on the career dynamics but do not change its way thoroughly, being a kind of “catalysts”.
