Abstract. Introduction. The main source for studying the composition of the court rank of zhiltsy in the 17th century is the zhiletskie lists. Despite the existence of special works devoted to the study of zhiletskie lists (works by M.P. Lukichev, E.N. Gorbatov, and other researchers), questions about their composition and classification remain controversial and not fully resolved. This article is devoted to consideration of these questions. Methods and materials. The article is written on the basis of the involvement of the entire complex of surviving zhiletskie lists of the time of Mikhail Fedorovich’s reign and other sources. The article uses methods of prosopography and istorical genealogy. A comparative study of the zhiletskie lists and boyar lists was carried out. Analysis. The author of the article identified and analyzed 35 zhiletskie lists and compared them with the data of the Inventory of the Archive of the Charge Prikaz of 1668. Results. The author came to the conclusion that about two thirds of he zhiletskie lists from the reign of Mikhail Romanov have survived to date. The article provides a classification of various types of “salary” zhiletskie lists and examines their relationship with “land” zhiletskie lists. The article shows the widespread practice of listing zhiltsy by “halves” (“Moscow” and “vacation”) and the creation of corresponding lists of zhiltsy, similar to the “available” boyar lists. The generally similar cyclical nature of the service of zhiltsy and Moscow nobles by “halves” was demonstrated.

Key words: zhiletskie lists, zhiltsy, Sovereign’s court, boyar lists, Charge Prikaz.
