This article continues the subject of studying and preserving the documentary historical and cultural heritage of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra. The purpose of the study is to identify the information value of the documents of the fund No. 51 “Surgut City Committee of People's Control” by the municipal archive of Surgut on the environmental history of the North of Western Siberia. The methods of source analysis and synthesis were used in the article. The appeal to the materials of the Surgut archive is necessary and justified. In the second half of the XX century in the North of Western Siberia the territory of the most intensive industrial development became the Surgut Priobye within the administrative boundaries of the Surgut district.
The collection contained resolutions of the Khanty-Mansiysk District People's Control Committee and minutes of the Surgut City People's Control Committee.The committees controlled the implementation of normative documents in the sphere of environmental protection and rational use of natural resources: the Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers of 22.04.1960 “On measures to streamline the use and enhance the protection of water resources of the USSR”, the Decree of the RSFSR Council of Ministers of 16.08.1968 № 568 and the decision of the Tyumen Oblispolkom of 20.02. 1969 № 119 “On measures to prevent pollution of water bodies of the Ob-Irtysh basin”, Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR from 24.03.1975 “On serious shortcomings in the implementation of the Law of the RSFSR ‘On the protection of nature in the RSFSR in the Tyumen region, Resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR from 15.01.1981 ’On measures to strengthen the protection of seas, rivers and other water bodies of the Arctic basin from pollution”.We implemented the resolutions of the District People's Control Committee on prevention of oil losses during extraction, transportation and storage; on strengthening control over prevention of infectious diseases and improvement of sanitary condition of cities and settlements of autonomous districts.They considered issues on clogging of water berths and their untimely cleaning, on the progress of construction of city treatment facilities, etc.
The revealed documents of the fund No. 51 “Surgut City Committee of People's Control” of the Surgut municipal archive confirm the conclusion made within the framework of the RNF grant No. 22–28–20115 on the theme “The Soviet state and society in the process of understanding and solving environmental problems of the North of Western Siberia in 1917–1991” that in the system of environmental planning and rational use of natural resources of the USSR in the second half of the XX century water protection and its rational use played an important role.
