Abstract. The purpose of this study is to study the organization and the main stages of the activities of the central and regional bodies of Soviet power to solve the problem of the administrative-territorial structure of Siberia in the 1920-1930. Objectives of the study: 1. To reveal the relationship of Sibrevkom with the central and local bodies of Soviet power. 2. To investigate the project of Sibrevkom on the administrative-territorial division of Siberia. 3. To analyze the main stages of the transformation of the administrative-territorial structure of Siberia in 1920 – 1930. The object of the study is the administrative-territorial bodies of Soviet power on the territory of Siberia in 1020-1930. The subject of the research is the activities of the party and Soviet bodies to solve the problem of the administrative-territorial structure of Siberia in the first post-revolutionary decades of Soviet power. The article notes that the beginning of solving the problem of the administrative-territorial structure of Siberia was laid by the creation, by decision of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of August 27, 1919, of the Siberian Revolutionary Committee (Sibrevkom) as the authorized body of Soviet power to maintain revolutionary order in Siberia and lead all administrative-territorial bodies local authorities. The activities of the central bodies of the party and Soviet authorities in the search for optimal forms of government in Siberia are revealed in the main stages, determined by economic and political factors. At the first stage in 1923 – 1924. volosts were transformed into districts, which made it possible to bring authorities closer to the population and take into account their general economic needs. At the second stage (1924 – 1925) districts were created as administrative units, which included several districts each. The stage ended with the formation of the Siberian Territory, the highest administrative body of which was the Siberian Regional Executive Committee. In order to more effectively manage the territories of Siberia, at the third stage, which ended in 1930, Sibkrai was divided into the West Siberian and East Siberian territories. Taking into account the interests of Soviet, economic and public organizations, at the fourth stage in 1934, territories and regions were created, including the Krasnoyarsk Territory on December 7, 1934. Thus, the changes in the administrative-territorial structure of Siberia were based on socio-economic and national factors. The process of searching for optimal forms of governance in Siberia was completed with the formation of regions and territories, and thus an attempt was made to find the balance of power between the regions and the center necessary to solve the problems of a particular time.
