Governing bodies of Troitskosavsk in the 1920s

The article deals with the governing bodies of Troitskosavsk in the 1920s. Particular attention is paid to the process of their formation in the difficult time of changing the power, Civil War and foreign military intervention. We have described the structure of the governing bodies of Troitskosavsk, namely economic, financial, administrative, transport departments. The materials of the State Archives of the Republic of Buryatia (SARB) made it possible to present a complete picture of the activities of government bodies in the town. The archival sources allowed us to identify the members of Troitskosavsk district people's revolutionary committee, particularly Troitskosavsk municipal people's revolutionary committee. By studying the protocols, circulars, resolutions of the municipal governance, correspondence with other institutions, as well as correspondence between departments and appeals of the members of people's revolutionary committees, we established the main functions, goals and objectives of the emergency authorities in the town, as well as the problems they were forced to decide in the current conditions. We also determined a clear chronological framework for the beginning of the activities of both district and municipal people's revolutionary committees. The exact date of the end of their activities in Troitskosavsk is unknown till now. That is why it is necessary to continue the study of the municipal governance. Despite the few available researches on the history of Troitskosavsk, there are still gaps on the issues of municipal governance. For an in-depth immersion in the topic of research, it is necessary to refer to archival sources, periodicals of that time, as well as to the sources of personal origin - memoirs and diaries of the participants in the events of those years.
