Collegium (Russia)
The collegia were administrative boards created in Russia by Peter I in 1718, each responsible for a branch of government such as foreign affairs, war or finance. The system was inspired by Swedish models. It was replaced in 1802 under Alexander I by ministries modelled on Napoleonic France, rationalising the Russian Empire's central administration.
