committee to work without definite plans, since the latter, due to constant reorganization, were not
durable - there was no continuity in work, and only in 1921 did the regional government apparatus
begin to grow stronger and pour out into a certain shape. Regional departments were created. It
would seem that they covered all aspects of the administrative and economic life of the region. But
this is not so, because the departments did not work on the scale of the region, but only on the scale
of the Shurakhan district.
In April 1921, elections were held for the Soviets of the Amudarya Region. A new
composition of the Executive Committee of the Amudarya region was elected. The TurkCEC
appointed N.P. Soldatov as Deputy People's Commissar of the Turkestan Republic, in return
appointing A. Khristoforov as the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Amudarya Region.
As the authors of the book "Turkestan at the beginning of the twentieth century ..." rightly point out,
the Central Committee of the RCP (b) was informed of the growing discontent of the Muslim
communists of Turkestan. The theoretical postulate of the Bolsheviks about the class priorities of
the proletariat entered into an invisible contradiction with the real historical conditions of
Turkestan[4.137]. The need to mitigate the situation was dictated by the decision of the Central
Committee of the RCP (b) to introduce the principle of proportional representation of nationalities
in government. On July 10, 1919, the Central Committee of the RCP(b) sent a radiogram to the
Turkish Central Executive Committee and the Regional Committee of the RCP(b), which stated:
“Based on the program of the Communist Party adopted by the Eighth Congress, in the interests of
the policy of the workers’ and peasants’ power, in the East a broad proportional population is
needed, the involvement of the Turkestan native population in state activities without the obligatory
membership of the party, being satisfied that candidates were nominated by Muslim workers'
organizations "[5.138].
T. Ryskulov, who headed the TurTSIK, as well as a group of party and Soviet workers who
supported him, began to take active measures to involve representatives of the local population in
the Soviet bodies. A large number of Soviet workers of European origin were replaced by people of
indigenous nationalities.
Thus, this historically accomplished fact had a great influence on the personnel policy of the
Bolsheviks in the Amu Darya region. So to the political arena their local national cadres: Kalender
Adinaev, H. Yaugasharov, Khangeldiev, Kozybagarov, E. Zhamankaziev, K. Khudaibergenov,
Baygeldin, Bekturganov, A. Altybaev, K. Shankulov, K. Salimov, M. Baldzhanov and others, but at
the same time, the weak point was the absence qualified personnel for land management and
irrigation[6.57].
In 1921, on September 2, by decision of the Executive Bureau of the Central Committee of
the Communist Party of Turkestan, Kubenov, who worked in the Syrdarya regional committee of
the CPT, was appointed chairman of the Regional Executive Committee of the Amudarya region.
At the same meeting of the Central Committee of the CPT, "due to the absence of responsible
workers there and the lack of normal work there," appointed a new composition of the Amu Darya
Regional Committee. On January 31, 1921, the Central Commission was established to purge the
ranks of the party in the Amu Darya region. The commission decisively expelled 40% of the
regional party organization from the party. A course was taken towards "turning" and "turning" the
