Aside from cases remitted to the revolutionary tribunal by the Investigative Commission on Pogroms (which took place in January and March 1919 in Zhitomir), there are analogous documents on a pogrom committed in October 1919 by local inhabitants in the town of Piatka (Zhitomir county), including reports of police officers who had carried out the investigation, minutes of interrogations of witnesses, a list of victims, etc.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Established in 1919, the tribunal was under the jurisdiction of the People’s Commissariat of Justice of the Ukrainian SSR. It heard cases remitted to it by the Volhynia Provincial Executive Committee concerning counterrevolutionary speeches, treason, espionage, sabotage, nonpayment of the prodnalog [in-kind foodstuffs tax], etc. Pursuant to a decree of the collegium of the provincial executive committee’s department of justice (21 June 1919), the revolutionary tribunal had jurisdiction also of cases previously processed by the Investigative Commission on Pogroms of the Law Department of the Volhynia Provincial Executive Committee (on which see the historical information given in the description of f. R-2499); it subsequently heard analogous cases opened by organs of the police. It was liquidated in 1923 in connection with the implementation (beginning 1 February of that year) of the Statute on Judicial Procedure in the Ukrainian SSR.
