Abstract
The article is devoted to the initial stage of the formation of the Soviet statistical bodies. The author points out that due of the exceptional importance of statistical data for public administration, the Soviet government, despite the outbreak of the Civil War, developed the first normative acts on the creation of a statistical service back in 1918. In Crimea, the functioning of Soviet statistical bodies began only at the end of 1920 due to revolutionary events on the peninsula. The author has identified archival documents revealing the entire range of work carried out on the organization of Crimean provincial and county statistical offices. He concludes that the professional staff of Crimean statisticians, their well-coordinated actions made it possible to take part in the first All-Russian census of 1920-1921 and get quite reliable results.
