metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article examines processes that took place in regional centers in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
  Issues of interaction between the regional party apparatus and ordinary citizens became particularly acute by
  the end of the Khrushchev era. This study is connected with the analysis of the problem of bureaucratic practices
  of the Yaroslavl regional elite in working with citizens’ letters in the USSR in the 1960s. We perform an analysis
  of a diverse source base: official regulatory documents, archival materials, sources of personal origin, including
  memoirs and interviews through a prism oral history. The context of the study is presented by the analysis of official
  documents revealing problems of the regional elite of the late socialist era: registry, forgery in state reporting,
  careerism. Consideration of various complaints took a serious place in the work of the regional bureaucracy.
  Critical letters in the absence of sociological institutions allowed the authorities to present the real moods and
  demands of the population. Complaints allowed us to identify the negative aspects of reality and respond to them.
  The materials contained in the letters were checked, and not always the facts they contained were confirmed. The
  regional nomenclature sought to protect its interests and not to give a reason for the center to perceive critical
  letters in its address as objective.
