Abstract
Based on a wide range of unpublished historical sources, the paper examines the functioning of the city government system during the Great Patriotic War. The paper analyzes in detail the structure of the city government, noting that it was a multi-level system that included both Party authorities (Regional Committee, City Committee) and Soviet (Regional Executive Committee, City Executive Committee, District Executive Committees). The paper pays special attention to the main directions and aspects of the activities of the city government during the war years. In particular, the paper shows what difficulties the authorities had in solving urban problems.
