At the beginning of the revolution of 1917 in the political discourse of the former Russian empire were actively discussed perspectives of the country in the context of the All Russian constituent Assembly, which were supported by majority of the parties, self-governing authorities and civil society. Within the frame of Ukrainian National Revolution, idea of the All Russian constituent Assembly received its shape within the walls of the Central Rada no earlier than in the summer of 1917, in the autumn of the same year the government of the Ukrainian People’s Republic started immediate preparation for implementations. Odesa Town Hall and district council endorsed necessity of convocation of the All Russian constituent Assembly, however they took critical look at their Ukrainian analogue, considering question of territorial allegiance of Kherson province as debatable one. And only because of the danger of spreading Bolshevik influence in the outlined territory and growing standing of the Ukrainian Central Rada and the General Secretariat, elected officials were forced to adjust their point of view, they approved as necessary organization of preparation for All Ukrainian constituent Assembly and in doing so they recognized Kyiv authority over the region in practice.
