- Rural executive committees began to be established in February 1919 pursuant to a decree of the Provisional Workers’ and Peasants’ Government of Ukraine of 8 February 1919 on organizing local-level authorities. As supreme entities of Soviet power in the territories of their respective volosti [rural areas], they answered to rural congresses of councils and were subordinate to county executive committees. Rural executive committee entities maintained voter rolls and records of citizens subject to the draft; dealt with issues pertaining to culture and education; registered public and religious associations; assessed taxes on merchants and real estate owners; etc. Rural executive committees were dissolved in 1923.
