Executive power belonged to the
Provisional Siberian Government, which was located in Omsk, legislative power belonged to the Siberian Regional Duma. The basis of the armed forces was the Siberian Army, which consisted of several tens of thousands of people. On July 4, 1918, in
Omsk, the Provisional Siberian Government, headed by
Pyotr Vologodsky, adopted the "Declaration of Independence of Siberia", canceled on November 3, 1918. Inside the Siberian Republic, there was a struggle between the liberal wing (Provisional Siberian Government) and the socialist wing of regionalism (Siberian Regional Duma), which ended in the fall of 1918 with the dissolution of the Siberian Regional Duma. The consequences of the conflict were the crisis of Siberian statehood, the collapse of the Cabinet of Ministers, the weakening of civilian and strengthening military power, in a series of uprisings.
The liberal movement of the oblasts entered into an alliance with the all-Russian political forces and sacrificed the idea of Siberian separatism in order to consolidate the white forces for an attack on
Moscow. The Siberian Republic was self-liquidated after the formation of the
white Russian state and the
Provisional All-Russian Government on September 23, 1918, got control over Siberia in accordance with the declaration of November 3, 1918. == Leadership ==
