The article is devoted to the analysis of the process of restoring the bodies of proletarian authority in the Urals after the liberation of its territory from the troops of the Supreme Ruler of Russia, Admiral А.V. Kolchak. Much attention is paid to the role of Red Army divisions in the solution of political problems in front line areas, to participation of military men and soldiers in the reconstruction of political infrastructure. The cause, development and peculiarities of the Soviet building are revealed on the basis of archive documents, periodicals, and legal acts. The statements of Soviet period researchers about the creation of emergency power bodies (revolutionary committees) are refuted; the legal nature and methods of their activities are discovered.
