The article, based on archival materials of the Kirov region and various documents, examines the activities of state and military authorities in preparation for the re-registration of military reserve and conscripts in the first year of the Great Patriotic War, caused by the urgent need to replenish the human reserves of the army in the field. The methods and forms of work of both central and regional party, state and military governing bodies for carrying out activities to search for and put on military records previously not taken or reserved for military service citizens of the country in 1941-1942 are comprehensively considered. Both the shortcomings and the positive aspects of the first registration of those liable for military service are revealed, which served as a prologue to the implementation of further processes to find unused human resources for mobilization into the ranks of the Red Army during the war years. The quantitative indicators are compared in different military districts and regions of the USSR during the first re-registration of unregistered and reserved citizens in the first period of the Great Patriotic War. The article is of interest to researchers of the period of the Great Patriotic War in the history of the USSR, teachers of military-patriotic education, teachers of the humanitarian profile in educational institutions of secondary and higher education.
