Abstract
The article examines the process of formation of departmental discourse in Surgut at the pioneer stage of transport development of the West Siberian oil and gas province. The purpose of the work is to analyze the manifestations of agency during the initiation and implementation of «programs» for the improvement of the village: the construction of roads, bridges and sidewalks in 1958–1965. The author of the article notes the low infl nce of local Councils and the lack of real levers of infl on departments during the formation of the village’s transport infrastructure. The materials of the archives show that the party organization of the Surgut Communists could not cope with the growing departmental voluntarism.
