History

The Omsk Oblast was created by the Soviet Union in 1934. The 1950s saw the creation of the petroleum processing industry, as well as the development of various high-technology facilities that came to define the economy of the Omsk Oblast for the remainder of the century.

During the Soviet period, the high authority in the oblast was shared between three persons: The first secretary of the Omsk CPSU Committee (who in reality had the biggest authority), the chairman of the oblast Soviet (legislative power), and the Chairman of the oblast Executive Committee (executive power).

With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Omsk became part of the newly independent Russian Federation. The independence of Kazakhstan gave Omsk an international border to the south.

On 19 May 1996, Omsk Oblast signed a power-sharing agreement with the federal government, granting him autonomy. This agreement would be abolished on 21 December 2001.
