Abstract [eng] The paper aims to examine a history of the local executive authorities in the city of Klaipėda in 1945-1957. It takes up with an organizational structure of these authorities which comprised the local party organization (party structure) and the local Soviet (Soviet structure) with its Executive committee. The first authority in the post-war Klaipėda was military one. It bossed around till 1946 limiting the functions of the civil authorities. Moreover, functional action of the executive in the first postwar years was rather complicated in that functions of both executive institutions were not definitely regulated. Besides, lack of professional administration officers was obvious while many of them merely weren't suitably prepared. The paper also analyses some aspects of the staff policy in the local authorities. It was settled that displacement of the first secretary of local Party committee and chairperson of Executive committee, occurred in 1946, was result of Lithuanian Communist Party Central Committee campaign, associated with the staff selection policy of USSR Communist Party Lithuanian Bureau. Analogical alterations in 1950 are associated with administrative-territorial reform realized in Lithuania. From official sources it appears that decisions of the 5th plenum of Lithuanian Communist Party Central Committee in 1953, provoked by Lavrenty Beria note, were not reversed after Beria's exception in Moscow and this enabled to realise a campaign of turning up into key positions so-called "national staff'. Massive replacement of the Russian nomenclature by the Lithuanians and lithuanianising of local party organization, however, instigated inadequate reaction of both the Russians and the Lithuanians because forthright consciousness of this widely proclaimed campaign in Klaipėda formed "anti-Soviet and anti-Russian spirits".
