Results of the work of Troitskosavsk city people's revolutionary committee for the period from July 16, 1920 to April 11, 1921

The article summarizes the results of the work of Troitskosavsk City People's Revolutionary Committee for the period from July 16, 1920 to April 11, 1921. Particular attention is paid to the functioning of municipal government in the hard times of changing power, civil war and foreign military intervention. We also described the structure of Troitskosavsk governing bodies, namely the economic, financial, administrative, and transport departments. It became possible to build a complete picture of the activities of government bodies in the city in that period based on material from the State Archive of the Republic of Buryatia (SARB). An analysis of archive material allowed us to identify the members of Troitskosavsk City People's Revolutionary Committee. By studying the protocols, circulars, resolutions of the city's governing bodies, correspondence with other institutions, as well as correspondence between departments and appeals from the members of the people's revolutionary committees, we identified the key functions, goals and objectives of the emergency authorities in Troitskosavsk, as well as the problems that they were compelled to decide in difficult circumstances. We also determined a clear chronological framework for the beginning of the activities of the city people's revolutionary committee. The exact date of the committee breakdown is still unknown. It is necessary to continue the study of Troitskosavsk city government, because despite the few studies on the history of the city, there are still a lot of gaps in the history of the municipal government. For the most in-depth immersion in the research topic, it is necessary to turn to archival material, periodicals of that time, as well as to memoirs and diaries of participants in the events of those years.
