East Siberian Military District

The East Siberian Military District was a Military district of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, which existed between 1865—1884, 1920—1923 and 1945—1953.

It included the territories of the Irkutsk and Yenisei provinces, and Amur, Transbaikal, Primorsk and Yakutsk regions.

After the arrival of the Red Army, a new East Siberian Military District of the Red Army was formed on March 15, 1920 on the territory that included the Tomsk, Yenisei, Irkutsk provinces and the Yakutsk region.

The territory and troops were transferred to the Siberian Military District.

On July 9, 1945, the East Siberian Military District was created for the third time, as part of the Irkutsk Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Yakutsk Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and the Tuva Autonomous District.
