[1] Based on this order, on 16 January 1920, Grigory Semyonov announced in Chita the creation of the "Government of the Russian Eastern Outskirts", with Sergey Taskin as its head.

On 6 April 1920, a hastily convened Constituent Assembly gathered at Verkhneudinsk and proclaimed the establishment of a separate administration: the Far Eastern Republic (FER).

On May 14, Japanese commanders agreed to talk with the Bolshevik-oriented FER, and on May 24 negotiations began at Gongota [ru] Railway Station, 125 Kilometers west of Chita.

The agreed terms provided for Japanese evacuation from the Transbaikal and the establishment of a neutral border zone between the territories of the parties.

At the end of October, the Provisional Eastern-Transbaikal Assembly, during a joint session with the Nerchinsk Regional Revolution Committee, declared its own dissolution, and three Far Eastern pro-Soviet governments joined in the united FER.
