¹ Moscow with its region had its own CPC, organized on March 20, 1918. Considering the parallel existence of central and regional authority in Moscow to be inexpedient, Lenin, soon after the government's move to Moscow, gave an order to the Administrator of Affairs of the CPC — V. D. Bonch-Bruevich "to remind him about this several times over the course of the next month and to place it on the agenda of a meeting of the Council of People's Commissars for discussion, decision, and the elimination of 'this absurdity'" (V. D. Bonch-Bruevich. "At the Combat Posts of the February and October Revolutions." M. "Federation," 1930, p. 315). As can be seen from the document, the question was initially resolved along the lines of delimiting functions. The resolution of the CPC of the RSFSR on the abolition of the Moscow CPC was adopted on June 9, 1918 (see "Izvestia VTsIK" No. 122 of June 16, 1918).
² The resolution was adopted at the meeting of the CPC of the RSFSR on April 19, 1918 (see Prot. CPC No. 99, item 8) on the report of M. N. Pokrovsky on the mutual relations between the All-Russian CPC and the CPC of Moscow and the Moscow region.
