- Administrative/biographical history:
- These were established in 1919 by decree of the Ukrainian SSR Council of People’s Commissars (8 February 1919) as executive committees of city councils of workers’, peasants’, and Red Army deputies. They temporarily ceased activities in 1941-44 in connection with the German occupation of the territory of what is now the Cherkassy region. Upon adoption of the Soviet Constitution of 1936 and the Ukrainian Constitution of 1937, they were renamed executive committees of city councils of toilers’ deputies; and pursuant to the Constitutions of the USSR and Ukrainian SSR of 1977, of people’s deputies. They are currently the executive committees of city councils.
