The article examines the socio-demographic composition of the city of Verkhneudinsk in
the second half of the XIX-early XX centuries. The designated period was a time of serious
shifts in the social life of the country, connected with the process of democratization,
which led to quite a serious activity of confessional associations in various spheres.
Verkhneudinsk during the considered time was an administrative, military, large transport
and trade center. The abolition of serfdom and subsequent liberal reforms of the 1960s and
1970s contributed to the capitalization and industrial development of the city. Under the
influence of the development of capitalism, the influx of newcomers destroyed the existing
structure of the city's population, changes took place in the socio-class structure, which resulted
in an increase in the share of all estates, as well as in the emergence of new social
categories. The location of the city at the crossroads of migration flows contributed to the
creation of a complex ethnic structure of the population, which reflected the formation of
the multi-confessional nature of urban residents. In turn, multiconfessionalism left an imprint
on all spheres of life in the city. The multifaceted activities of confessional groups contributed to the creation of a unified cultural urban space. Despite the division of society
according to the class, national and religious principle, the city was, as it were, a huge accelerator, where the processes of mutual influence and rapprochement of various national
cultures were intensively proceeding. Thus, each confessional group made a significant
contribution to the development of Verkhneudinsk its contribution, contributing to the advancement
of the city.
