As the population in Alyeska grew, the Russian Pacific Company enacted several reforms to the governance of the colony. Some power was devolved to the local population to make the management of the colony more efficient. After the Russian monarchy was dismantled in 1926 by republican forces, the Russian Pacific Company swore allegiance to the First Russian Republic. However, after the fall of the Russian Republic and the civil war between the Liberals and the National-Republicans, Alyeska enjoyed de facto independence. After the Nationalist-Republicans emerged victorious in Alyeska, General Mikhail Orlov sent an emissary to Alyeska in 1929 to negotiate with the Russian Pacific Company. In 1930, the Treaty of Novo-Arkhangelsk was signed, officially declaring Alyeska to be a special territory of the National Republic of Russia. In addition, a commissar appointed by Moscow and would play a minor role in the administration of Alyeska.
==== Autonomous National Republic of Alyeska ====
In 1940, a decree from the Russian Committee of National Affairs elevated Alyeska's status from a special territory to an Autonomous National Republic (ANR). Under the new system, the partially democratic institutions put in place by the Russian Pacific Company were dismantled, conforming to the ANR structure. Dimitri Abramov was appointed as the chairman of the new autonomous republic. This change brought about protests throughout Alyeska in varying degrees, which were eventually put out by 1944. {{Nations of the World}}
