Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the food sup-ply system of Orel region of CHEKA troops in 1921–1922. The staff of the Department, which was subordinate to the People's Commissariat of Food, is analyzed. The area of responsibility of the Department extended to the territory of Oryol, Tambov, Voro-nezh and Kursk provinces. Food was produced independently in military state farms and in military vegetable gardens, which were serviced by labor soldiers and freelancers. Also, products were pur-chased on the free market, which unfolded after the start of the New Economic Policy in March 1921. A significant part of the food for the soldiers and commanders of Oryol region of CHEKA troops came centrally according to the orders of the Peo-ple's Commissariat of Food, which were imple-mented by the Management staff on the territory of the district, in neighboring regions, as well as prod-ucts were delivered from Soviet Belarus and Soviet Ukraine. The military food authorities of the Orel district of the Cheka-GPU troops, in addition to performing their direct duties, were additionally engaged in political work in the troops and charity for the disabled.
