Special attention is paid to the issues of administrative and financial support of the first Western Siberian classical gymnasium by the trustee of the Kazan educational district S. Ya. Rumovsky, Minister of Education P. V. Zavadovsky, administrative and economic activities of the first director of the gymnasium A. Kh. Eiben, issues of charity of Russian and local entrepreneurs.

Zamakhaev and G. A. Tsvetaev in 1889 on the basis of the archive of the gymnasium, now lost. Specific historical, systemic, comparative historical methods have become the main methods for researching sources.
