Abstract
The paper investigates archival materials and examines the beginnings of the Bagatsokhurovskaya Party Organization. It is found that the Bagatsokhurovsky Ulus RCP(B) Committee had been established on 26 October 1918 as an affiliated organ of the Ulus Executive Committee. The party cell was headed by Khodzha Otkhonov and Kebyuda Dalgaev, revolutionaries and active partners of the Soviet regime in Kalmykia. The work concludes the Bagatsokhurovsky Uezd Party Committee was conducting socio-political work in rural territories, paying special attention to activities by cooperative associations and peasant mutual aid committees. Still, activities of the considered party organization were characterized by a number of gaps, such as weak involvement of workers and farm-hands, poor management of Komsomol organizations, weak control over works undertaken by poors, insufficient antireligious propaganda among Communists and Komsomol members. The bulk of the gaps were also inherent to other party organizations.
