This article analyzes the administrative-territorial structure, governance mechanism, and role within imperial policy of the Zarafshan Okrug, established in 1868 by the order of Konstantin von Kaufman. The process of the okrug’s formation is examined in direct connection with the conquest of the territories of the Emirate of Bukhara by the Russian Empire. Furthermore, based on historical sources and archival documents, the study explores the system of military-popular administration, governance under the “Temporary Regulations,” the transformation of local administrative bodies, the introduction of the volost system, and the establishment of the Samarkand Oblast under the Regulation of 1886
