District Soviet of Kichera
Explanation:
District Soviet of Kichera, Severobaikalsk Region, Autonomous Republic of Buryatia
(German spellings need to be changed to English versions of the Cyrillic names)

Sowjet > Soviet
(i.e. no need to change to council)

The process begins when the workers of a city elect their local soviet. This body holds both legislative and executive power for that city. The idea is identical to the Paris Commune. The local soviets choose their delegates for their district soviet. These district soviets in turn elect their provincial soviet. Lastly, the provincial soviets then choose their delegates for the regional soviet. Each soviet has legislative-executive power over the territory it governs.
