Description
Summary:The study features the formation of the Provisional Government bodies in Dagestan during the revolutions and Civil War, such as the Provisional Regional Executive Committee and the Commissars of the Dagestan region. The research was based on the principles of historicism and objectivity, which allowed the authors to determine the reliability of the used historical sources. The consequences of the February revolution in Russia affected the Dagestan region. During this period, various organizations struggled for power: the Council of Workers' Deputies, the Council of Soldiers' and Officers' Deputies, religious societies, Muslim committees, millicommittees, etc. However, the military governor was rep-laced by the Provisional Government, which had existed until April-May 1918. The Provisional Regional Executive Committee was formed in March 1917. Subsequently, it transformed several times. New commissars replaced former chiefs in the districts of the Dagestan region. The population of the region, which initially distrusted the elections, gradually began to get involved in the political process. The bodies of the Provisional Government included the Commissars of the Dagestan region. They had a lot of internal conflicts, as well as an open political confrontation with the Provisional Regional Executive Committee. These disagreements prevented effective work. The results of the research can be used in further study of the issue, in general studies on the matter, in a course of Dagestan history, or special courses on the history of the revolution and the Civil War.
