The Department of Police and State Security, officially included in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was actually an independent structure.

The government consisted mainly of former members of the Council of Ministers of the Ufa directory, who contributed to Kolchak's coup.

Alexander Kolchak, as the head of state, has concentrated all branches of government in his hands: executive, legislative and judicial.

The power of the Supreme Ruler was viewed as exclusively temporary, until the victory over the Bolsheviks and the re-convocation of the Constituent Assembly.

[2] Initially, it was almost exclusively a bureaucratic organization with the task of developing emergency measures in the field of finance, supplying the army and restoring the commercial and industrial apparatus.

It included 60 members: ministers, representatives from the banks, cooperatives, zemstvo assemblies and city councils, as well as from the Siberian, Ural, Orenburg and Transbaikal Cossack troops.

The Russian Government was recognized at the international level formally (de jure) by only one state, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

At the end of June 1919, Charge d'Affaires of the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry J. Milanković arrived in Omsk.

[3] On the eve of the fall of Omsk, on the morning of 10 November 1919, the Council of Ministers fled to Irkutsk by the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Due to the passivity of the Czechoslovak Legion, declaring its neutrality, the Trojectory, which did not have the required number of troops at hand, was forced to negotiate with the leaders of the anti-Kolchak uprising.

On January 5, power in Irkutsk had passed in the hands of the Political Center led by SRs and Mensheviks.
