[1] By this Decree, on the proposal of the Governor–General of Eastern Siberia and the Siberian Committee, the Amur Region was made up of lands "located on the left bank of the Amur River, starting from the junction of the Shilka and Argun Rivers or from the borders of the Trans–Baikal and Yakutsk Oblasts, along the entire course of the Amur, to the mouth of the river Ussuri and to the new border of the Primorsky Oblast".

On May 12, 1906, the village of the Verkhneamurskaya Gold Mining Company Zeysky Warehouse was given the status of a city and the name Zeya–Pier, which in 1913 was changed to Zeya.

[3] According to the 1917 census, the Amur District included the following volosts: Amuro–Zeiskaya, Bolshe–Sazanskaya, Borisoglebovskaya, Belskaya, Valuevskaya, Voznesenovskaya, Verninskaya, Gilchinskaya, Gondattievskaya, Erkovetskaya, Zavitinskaya, Ivanovskaya, Kozmo–Demyanovskaya, Krasnoyarovskaya, Kuzmichevskaya, Mazanovskaya, Ovsyankovskaya, Pesyankovskaya, Serebryanskaya, Tambovskaya, Tarbogataiskaya, Tomskaya, Uldurinskaya.

[4] On April 6, 1920, the Amur Oblast became part of the Far Eastern Republic, and its administrative–territorial division changed only on June 15, 1922 after the adoption of the law of the Far Eastern Republic "On the Division of the Amur Oblast into Counties", which entered into force on July 18, 1922.

[6] During the conquest of the oblast, there were very few wandering aliens here: the Orochons west of the Never River, hunters, and Manegrs to the east of it, who were partly engaged in cattle breeding.

At first, however, due to ignorance of the conditions of the region, floods were very harmful, spoiling the bread, carrying away the mown hay, and so on.

Cattle breeding and gardening did not constitute a separate trade, all the Cossacks and peasants were engaged in the first.

In the Amur Oblast, it was possible to develop only mines, much richer than in the Yenisei, and even more so in the Tomsk Province, since the workers, the delivery of food, cars, and so on were very expensive.
