The Second Non-partisan Conference of ten volosts of Yakutsk uyezd was held in Churapcha from April 7 to 17, 1921. It made history by the fact that its delegates received a telegram from the leader of the Soviet proletariat Vladimir Lenin.
The draft telegram was written by the Yakut Soviet statesman and party leader Maxim Kirovich Ammosov, who sent it after it had been agreed with Lenin. The archives have the original message with edits and resolution made by Lenin.
Maxim Ammosov was an active participant in the struggle for the establishment of Soviet power in Yakutia. Together with the writer, scholar and philologist Platon Oyunsky and the public and political figure of Yakutia Isidor Barakhov, he played a crucial role in establishing the Yakut ASSR and, accordingly, in forming the statehood of Yakutia in April 1922.
254 representatives from the First and Second Amginsky, Baturussky, Tattinsky, Maysky, Petropavlovsky, Borogonsky, Bayagantaysky, Meginsky and Dyupsyunsky volosts of Yakutia participated in the Churapchinsky conference.

At the second conference 11 issues were discussed: reports from the regions, current situation, pre-election campaign, food issue, public education, land issue and sowing, health care, provision of construction workers, relocation of Soviet workers in the regions, and construction of the Ayano-Nelkan road.
