Abstract
Aim. Using the example of the city of Orekhovo-Zuyevo, to demonstrate how the period of “multiple power” (February-October 1917) in Russian history affected the process of city formation. Methodology. An analysis was undertaken to study official state documents, transcripts of the meetings of state and public organizations, and materials of periodicals. The methods of induction and deduction were used to compare local and national processes. Results. It is shown that the local authorities and public organizations played a significant role in the final stage of the transition of Orekhovo-Zuyevo from a factory centre to a city. Research implications. The paper introduces previoulsy unknown sources into scientific circulation, thus presenting insufficiently explored facts about the regional history of the Moscow region to a wide range of readers. This information can be considered relevant for educators teaching the history of the Moscow region.
