Kyiv Gubernatorial Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine explained

The Kiev Gubernatorial Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, commonly referred to as the Kiev CPU gubkom. In 1917 it was preceded by Kiev Military Revolutionary Committee of Bolsheviks and in 1918-1921 as Kiev Gubernatorial Revolutionary Committee.

The Kiev Milrevkom was created by Bolsheviks on 9 November 1917 as the Kiev Military Revolutionary Committee as part of 1917 Kiev Bolshevik Uprising which followed the Petrograd Bolshevik putsch. To keep the order in the city and region, the Central Council of Ukraine which was granted a self-rule over Ukraine by the Russian Provisional Government created the Regional Committee in Protection of Revolution in Ukraine and allowed to participate all political faction of the city and governorate. At the same time the Central Council of Ukraine had its own Gubernatorial Commissars in each governorate.

The post was finally established in the summer of 1919 and existed along with the revolutionary committee until 1921.

With elimination of the governorate division in 1925, the committee ceased to exist and was replaced by the Kiev District (Okruha) Committee.
