- Administrative/biographical history:
- Area executive committees were elected in April 1923 at area council congresses pursuant to an All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee (VUTsIK) decree of 7 March 1923. As supreme executive and administrative entities of Soviet power, they were in charge of operations of district and village councils within areas, as well as of area departments and inspectorates acting as independent organisations; until 1925, area executive committees were under the jurisdiction of the Odessa Provincial Executive Committee, and thereafter, that of the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee (VUTsIK). They ceased operations in October 1930 pursuant to the VUTsIK and Ukrainian Council of People’s Commissars’ decree (2 September 1930) “On the liquidation of areas and transition to a two-tiered administrative system.”
