Abstract

The article deals with the staffing of the prosecutor’s office in the Simbirsk (Ulyanovsk) province in 1922—1928. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that, from an objective point of view, for the first time on the basis of the introduction into scientific circulation of previously inaccessible due to their secrecy archival materials, seized from the depositories of the State Archive of the Ulyanovsk Region and the State Archive of Recent History of the Ulyanovsk Region, the prosecutor’s office personnel work of the authorities was comprehensively analyzed in the regional context in the Simbirsk (Ulyanovsk) province during the period of the new economic policy. The authors studied the specifics of the selection and placement of personnel specialists in accordance with the approved criteria in the prosecutor’s office, traced changes in the regular staff, determined the level of material support for prosecutors, and also noted positive and negative factors in the implemented personnel policy. In the course of the work, it was found that the ongoing personnel policy made it possible to form such a model of the prosecutor’s office, during the functioning of which the Bolsheviks could control the activities of government bodies, law enforcement agencies, economic institutions, public and private organizations, feel safe, and also regularly influence society.
