The local institutions of the Bashkir Government were the canton (district) and yurt (volost) boards, the formation of which began in the autumn of 1917.
On the basis of the decision of the Orenburg Muslim Military Revolutionary Committee, on the night of February 15–16, 1918, 7 members of the Bashkir Government and the Bashkir Central Shuro (Ildarkhan Mutin, Allabirda Yagafarov, Sagit Mryasov, Akhmet-Zaki Validov, Galiakhmet Aitbaev, Abdulla Adigamov, Ildsa Adigamov, Isa Salikhov) were arrested.
In March 1918, in Baimak, the Bolsheviks shot two members of the Government of Bashkurdistan – Gabdulla Idelbaev and Gimran Magazov.
The conditions for the restoration of government activity arose after the speech of the Czechoslovak Corps, when Soviet power was liquidated in a significant territory of the region.
A government delegation led by Iskandar Sultanov, Yunus Bikbov, Akhmet-Zaki Validov participated in a state meeting in Ufa, where in October 1918 an attempt was made to unite various political forces under the flag of the Directory.
On 26 July 1919, the convocation of the All-Bashkir Congress was scheduled in Chelyabinsk (it was supposed to form alternative to Validov and his supporters of the national institution).
The defeat of the Kolchakites during the Chelyabinsk battle and the withdrawal of the White Guards from the territory of the Urals actually put an end to attempts to recreate the Bashkir Government.
