The Presidential Council (Russian: Президентский совет СССР) was an advisory body to the President of the Soviet Union. It was created on 14 March 1990[1] to replace the Politburo as the major policymaking body in the USSR. According to article 127 in the Soviet constitution the job of the presidential council was "to implement the basic thrust of USSR's domestic and foreign policy and ensure the country's security",[2] and to present the president policy alternative on social, economic, foreign and defence problems facing the nation, but it lacked a clear mission and had no policymaking authority, and its members were unable to work as a team. In late 1990, Gorbachev invited White House Chief of Staff John H. Sununu to Moscow to advice him on organising the presidential support staff.[3][4] It was abolished on 26 December 1990. Only the writer Valentin Rasputin was a non-party member.
