The institutionalization of local government in Kolchak’s system of government (based on Perm province’s sources)

The article deals with the system of local government in Perm province during the period of Kolchak’s rule. The town council and the Zemstvo, which were restored by the Admiral, were the only legitimate authorities during the Civil War. Despite the fact that they lost many rights received from the Provisional Government, the economic life of the region, as well as medicine, education and culture remained under the control of local government. Moreover, the Duma and the Zemstvo were involved in the agrarian question’s solving, which was one of the most important ones at that time.
