Abstract
The relevance of this article is determined by the fact that the creation of a system of authorities in Soviet Russia is one of the popular topics of Soviet and modern historiography. However, this issue is being studied in the main national context of the evolution of the Soviet state. Meanwhile, this topic requires research on regional material, showing both general patterns on a national scale of this process, and local specifics.
The purpose of the article is to study the formation of the Soviets of the Voronezh province in the second half of 1918 and the development of their organizational structure by the Bolsheviks.
Objectives: to determine the activities of the Bolsheviks in the development of the system of Soviet power, the effectiveness of this work and the local features of this process.
Methodology. The research is based on the principles of objectivity and historicism. To solve the tasks set, methods were used: historical-genetic and historical-systemic.
The results of the scientific research made it possible to draw certain conclusions related to the organization of the Soviets in the second half of 1918.
Conclusions. Only in the second half of 1918 did the development of the work of local Soviets begin, which took place mainly thanks to the help of the provincial center. In the countryside, this process was even more difficult, since the Bolsheviks had almost no class support there. To receive it, party cells and committees of the poor were formed, which by the end of 1918 began to reorganize the village councils to form their composition loyal to the authorities. During this period, the Soviet authorities suffered from weak support from the population, lack of personnel and finances, instructions and work experience, and disloyal composition in the countryside. However, but by the end of 1918 they managed to satisfactorily organize their work, consolidate their power in Voronezh and county centers, and begin large-scale work to create loyal Soviets in the countryside.
