Ministers of the USSR during the late Stalin era (1946–1953).
The Ministries of the Soviet Union (Russian: Министерства СССР) were the government ministries of the Soviet Union.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917 the previous bureaucratic apparatus of bourgeois ministers was replaced by People's Commissariats (Russian: народных комиссариатов; Narkom), staffed by new employees drawn from workers and peasants.[1] On 15 March 1946 the people's commissariats were transformed into ministries. The name change had no practical effects, other than restoring a designation previously considered a leftover of the bourgeois era.[2] The collapse of the ministry system was one of the main causes behind the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[3]
State Committees were also subordinated to the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union and had similar powers and rights.[4]
