Abstract
The paper investigates archival materials and examines the beginnings of Khosheutovskaya Party Organization. It reveals that in 1918 there were a number of Communist sympathizers in Khosheutovsky Ulus who had some organizational ties with Kalmytsky Bazar Party Nucleus and Astrakhan Uezd Committee of RCP(B). Those included G. Kolpachkov, the Secretary of the Aimag Executive Committee of Khosheutovsky Ulus who subsequently headed the Ulus Militia. In terms of social structure, the organization consisted of workers and peasants, remaining weak enough qualitatively.
The article concludes the establishment of Khosheutovskaya Party Organization made it possible to tackle certain challenges within the district, such as revival of the national economy, eradication of illiteracy, organization of Soviet construction, trade union and youth movements, intensification of party awareness-raising work, increase in the number of Communists, party personnel training. At the same time, the activities of Khosheutovskaya Organization of RCP(B) were characterized by certain shortcomings, namely, weak control over minor local associations of RCP(B), trade union and Komsomol groups, inefficient management of activities undertaken by peasant mutual benefit societies.
