Abstract
This article is devoted to the history of Kazan city from the February Revolution till the proclamation of the Autonomous Tatar Soviet Socialist Republic the 27 May 1920. The author analyzes the process of organization of authority in the city in the period of revolutions of 1917 (i. e. in March-October) and then during the fi rst years of Soviet regime, which coincided with the Civil war period. We came to a conclusion that during these years the Bolsheviks-Communists, who began their activities numbering only several persons, got a total monopoly of power in Kazan and its gubernia. The Tatar Muslim movement had to incorporate itself into this Communist Soviet movement in order to reach at least partly its aims and to gain the proclamation of abridged Tatar territorial autonomy as a part of Soviet state.
