- Administrative/biographical history:
- Established 4 March 1917 by representatives of over one hundred officially registered political parties, labour unions, and public organisations of Zhitomir, this was subordinate to the analogous provincial committee. Organisations that had a certain number of members living in Zhitomir and democratically-elected executive organs were entitled to representation on the council. The committee’s duties included deciding various issues of local life, for which it organised a number of commissions: that of administration, public safety, public education, etc. The committee was entitled to immediate contact with the Provisional Government and all local state and public institutions and organisations. It was liquidated in September 1917.
