The political approach of the Socialists-Revolutionists party to the problem of labour in the late 1918 – 1919; and the evolution of their tactics on the above mentioned issue in Siberia in the period of Kolchak’s power is regarded. The paper investigates the practical activity of the ruling party authorities and the Socialists-Revolutionists organizations in Siberia; the forms and methods of the Socialists-Revolutionists’ illegal work in this period are described. It is highlighted that since autumn 1919 the position of the Siberian Socialists-Revolutionists organizations concerning labour has not conformed to the directives of the Party’s Central Committee. The fact that in the period of Kolchak’s power Siberian socialists-revolutionists begin to actively appeal to the proletariat as their support among workers is proved on the basis of previously published and new archival documents.
