Abstract
The author analyzes the activities of the people's courts of KHMAO-Yugra based on archival sources. The quality of civil cases in the district courts was poor. During 1946–1955, the proportion of decisions upheld in civil cases increased from 37.8 to 68.2 %. However, the main indicators of the Khanty-Mansiysk district courts in civil cases were significantly lower than similar indicators of the courts of the neighboring region – the South of the Tyumen region. The work of the people's courts of the district in reviewing cases of this category was also characterized by instability. Civil cases could not be considered for a year or more. Judges, to improve their performance, went to various tricks and even to violate the law. For example, they destroyed plaintiffs’ statements. When considering civil cases, judges often violated the rules of jurisdiction, procedural and substantive law.
