Introduction

Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR (Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, SNK RSFSR) - the name of the government of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from the October Revolution of 1917 to 1946. The council consisted of people's commissars who led the people's commissariats (people's commissariats, NK). After the formation of the USSR, a similar body was created at the union level.

1. General information

The Council of People's Commissars (SNK) was formed in accordance with the "Decree on the Establishment of the Council of People's Commissars", adopted by the II All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies on October 27, 1917.

The name "Council of People's Commissars" was suggested by Trotsky:

Power in Petersburg has been won. We need to form a government.

How to call it? Lenin reasoned aloud. Only not ministers: this is a vile, tattered name.

It could be commissars, I suggested, but now there are too many commissars. Maybe high commissioners? No, "supreme" sounds bad. Is it possible "folk"?

People's Commissars? Well, that would probably work. What about the government as a whole?

Council of People's Commissars?

The Council of People's Commissars, Lenin echoed, is excellent: it smells terribly of revolution.

According to the Constitution of 1918, it was called the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR.

The Council of People's Commissars was the highest executive and administrative body of the RSFSR, having full executive and administrative power, the right to issue decrees with the force of law, while combining legislative, administrative and executive functions.

The Council of People's Commissars lost the character of a temporary governing body after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, which was legally enshrined in the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1918.

The issues considered by the Council of People's Commissars were decided by a simple majority of votes. The meetings were attended by members of the Government, the chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the manager of affairs and secretaries of the Council of People's Commissars, representatives of departments.

The permanent working body of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR was the affairs department, which prepared questions for meetings of the Council of People's Commissars and its standing committees, and received delegations. The staff of the administration of affairs in 1921 consisted of 135 people. (according to the data of the TsGAOR of the USSR, f. 130, op. 25, d. 2, ll. 19 - 20.)

By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of March 23, 1946, the Council of People's Commissars was transformed into the Council of Ministers.

2. Legislative framework of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR

According to the Constitution of the RSFSR dated July 10, 1918, the activities of the Council of People's Commissars are:

management of the general affairs of the RSFSR, management of individual branches of government (art. 35, 37)

· the issuance of legislative acts and the adoption of measures "necessary for the correct and rapid course of public life." (Art. 38)

The people's commissar has the right to single-handedly make decisions on all issues within the jurisdiction of the commissariat, bringing them to the attention of the collegium (Article 45).

All adopted resolutions and decisions of the Council of People's Commissars are reported by the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (Article 39), which has the right to suspend and cancel the decision or decision of the Council of People's Commissars (Article 40).

17 people's commissariats are being created (in the Constitution, this figure is indicated erroneously, since there are 18 of them in the list presented in Article 43).

on foreign affairs;

on military affairs;

on maritime affairs;

on internal affairs;

justice;

social security;

education;

post and telegraph;

on the affairs of nationalities;

on financial matters;

· ways of communication;

· agriculture;

trade and industry;

food;

· State control;

· Supreme Council of National Economy;

health care.

Under each people's commissar and under his chairmanship, a collegium is formed, the members of which are approved by the Council of People's Commissars (Article 44).

With the formation of the USSR in December 1922 and the creation of an all-union government, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR becomes the executive and administrative body of state power of the Russian Federation. The organization, composition, competence and procedure for the activities of the Council of People's Commissars were determined by the Constitution of the USSR of 1924 and the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1925.

Since then, the composition of the Council of People's Commissars has been changed in connection with the transfer of a number of powers to allied departments. 11 people's commissariats were established:

internal trade;

Finance

· internal affairs

justice

education

healthcare

farming

social security

The Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR now included, with the right of a decisive or advisory vote, authorized people's commissariats of the USSR under the Government of the RSFSR. The Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR allocated, in turn, a permanent representative to the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR. (According to the information of the SU, 1924, N 70, Art. 691.) Since February 22, 1924, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR have a single Administration of Affairs. (Based on the materials of the TsGAOR of the USSR, f. 130, op. 25, d. 5, l. 8.)

With the introduction of the Constitution of the RSFSR of January 21, 1937, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR is accountable only to the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, in the period between its sessions - to the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR.

Since October 5, 1937, the composition of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR has 13 people's commissariats (data from the Central State Administration of the RSFSR, f. 259, op. 1, d. 27, l. 204.):

· Food Industry

light industry

timber industry

farming

State grain farms

livestock farms

Finance

domestic trade

justice

healthcare

education

local industry

social security

The Council of People's Commissars also included the chairman of the State Planning Committee of the RSFSR and the head of the Department of Arts under the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR.

SNK and people's commissariats

Briefly:

The state structure of the RSFSR was of a federal nature, the All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Slaves, Soldiers, Crips and Cossack Deputies was the highest authority.

The congress elected the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK) responsible to it, which formed the government of the RSFSR - the Congress of People's Commissars (SNK)

Local authorities were regional, provincial, district and volost congresses of councils, which formed their own executive committees.

Created "to govern the country until the convocation of the Constituent Assembly." 13 people's commissariats were formed - internal affairs, labor, military and naval affairs, trade and industry, public education, finance, foreign affairs, justice, food, post and telegraph, nationalities, communications. Chairmen of all people's commissariats included in the Council of People's Commissars

The Council of People's Commissars had the right to replace individual members of the government or its entire composition. In urgent cases, the Council of People's Commissars could issue decrees without their preliminary discussion. The All-Russian Central Executive Committee approved the decrees of the Council of People's Commissars if they were of national importance.

Council of People's Commissars

According to the Decree of the II Congress of Soviets "to govern the country", a temporary 6 workers' and peasants' government was formed with the name - the Council of People's Commissars (abbreviated - SNK). "Management of individual branches of state life" was entrusted to commissions headed by chairmen. The chairmen united in the board of chairmen - the Council of People's Commissars. Control over the activities of the Council of People's Commissars and the right to remove commissars belonged to both the Congress and its All-Russian Central Executive Committee. The work of the Council of People's Commissars was built in the form of meetings that were convened almost every day, and from December 1917 - in the form of meetings of deputy people's commissars, who by January 1918 were determined to form a permanent commission of the Council of People's Commissars (Small Council of People's Commissars). Since February 1918, the practice of convening joint meetings of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars began to be practiced.

Initially, only the Bolsheviks entered the Council of People's Commissars. This situation was due to the following circumstances. The formation of a one-party system in Soviet Russia did not take shape immediately after the October Revolution, but much later, and was explained primarily by the fact that the cooperation of the Bolshevik Party with the Menshevik and Right Social Revolutionary parties, who defiantly left the Second Congress of Soviets and then went over to the opposition, became impossible. The Bolsheviks offered to enter the government to the Left SRs, who then took shape in an independent party, but they refused to send their representatives to the Council of People's Commissars and took a wait-and-see attitude, although they became part of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee. Despite this, even after the Second Congress of Soviets, the Bolsheviks continued to look for ways of cooperation with the Left SRs: as a result of negotiations between them in December 1917, an agreement was reached on the entry into the Council of People's Commissars of seven representatives of the Left Socialist Revolutionaries, which accounted for a third of its composition. This government bloc was necessary to consolidate Soviet power, to win over to its side the broad peasant masses, among whom the Left Social Revolutionaries enjoyed serious influence. And although in March 1918 the Left Socialist-Revolutionaries withdrew from the Council of People's Commissars in protest of the signing of the Brest Peace, they remained in the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, other state bodies, including the military department, the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission under the Council of People's Commissars for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage (since August 1918 - with counter-revolution, profiteering and crimes in office).

SNK- from July 6, 1923 to March 15, 1946, the highest executive and administrative (in the first period of its existence also legislative) body of the USSR, its government (in each union and autonomous republic there was also a Council of People's Commissars, for example, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR).

People's Commissar (people's commissar) - a person who is part of the government and heads a certain people's commissariat (people's commissariat) - the central body of state administration in a separate area of ​​\u200b\u200bstate activity.

The first Council of People's Commissars was established 5 years before the formation of the USSR, on October 27, 1917, by the Decree "On the Establishment of the Council of People's Commissars", adopted at the II All-Russian Congress of Soviets. Prior to the creation of the USSR in 1922 and the formation of the Union Council of People's Commissars, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR actually coordinated the interaction between the Soviet republics that arose on the territory of the former Russian Empire.

Since the Jewish topic has already been touched upon, I will lay out one material that still did not find a place for itself. The question of Jewish representation in the upper echelons of Soviet power is still trembling very vividly to this day. Even I could not resist his seductive charms. Once I read the famous book “One Hundred and Forty Conversations with Molotov” by F. Chuev and one moment was very embarrassing. Here it is: “They say the Jews made the revolution, not the Russians. Well, few people believe in it. True, in the first government, in the Politburo, the majority were Jews. A very strange statement, because who, if not a "stone ass", knows the true state of things - but you go. And you can’t write off sclerosis.

In general, this is a very common misconception among a very wide public - that the Jews were in the majority in the Soviet leadership. Even at other my friends I read similar. I must say right away that the majority - both in the top of the party and in the government - have always been Russians. However, foreigners - including Jews - in certain periods had a very broad representation. In principle, quite a lot has already been written about the national composition of the party leadership, but with regard to the government, I only saw analyzes revolving around the first composition of the Council of People's Commissars (although, to be honest, I was not particularly interested in the plot itself). So I had the idea to dig and look for how many Jews were part of the Soviet government. At the end of the search, the following article turned up: Jews in the leadership of the USSR (1917-1991). I thought that it exhausted the topic, and was very sad for the wasted time, however, not without pleasure, I discovered that, in relation to the government, the text contains omissions, albeit insignificant, and decided to give up work. But now, I think, I have brought it to the end, and I present the results to the public.

I must say right away that I was only interested in the composition of the first Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR (1917-22) and the Council of People's Commissars / Council of Ministers of the USSR. Wikipedia tells us that "Before the creation of the USSR in 1922 and the formation of the Union Council of People's Commissars, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR actually coordinated the interaction between the Soviet republics that arose on the territory of the former Russian Empire." Therefore, our chronological framework will cover the years 1917-1991. As for personalities, I will present it in the form of a simple chronological list - in dynamics it is somehow easier to perceive.

Other authors (and still yes, and still no), listing the Jews in the Soviet government, often include among them representatives of other peoples, mostly, oddly enough, Russians. The reasons for this are not clear to me personally - in most cases, the origin can be quite easily established from the reference literature and there is absolutely no reason, in this situation, to voluntarily get into a puddle. But there is this phenomenon. I met the following "false Jews" from the people's commissars:

Yefim Slavsky (born into a Ukrainian peasant family);
Rodion Malinovsky (his origin is very murky: the son of a Ukrainian cook, the father is unknown - they suggest that he is from the Karaites, but they are not Jews, although they are Jews; the marshal's daughter claims that her grandfather is a "Russian prince");
Isidor Lyubimov (both Vaksberg and Solzhenitsyn write him down as a Jew, although a Bolshevik was born in the family of a Kostroma peasant. Apparently, the name confuses);
Pavel Yudin (the son of a Tula worker. Here, it seems, the surname is embarrassing);
Ivan Teodorovich (from a Polish noble family);
Avraamiy Zavenyagin (called by others Abram, although he is precisely Avraamy; the son of a train station driver in the Tula region);
Mikhail Frinovsky (from the family of a Penza teacher);
Vasily Rulev-Schmidt (from a poor family - a peasant father, a German cook mother);
Nikolai Krestinsky (“Molotov” touchingly remarks: “... apparently, the former Jew seems to be baptized, therefore Krestinsky. But maybe I’m wrong. Master, such a gentleman.” I could have wondered and found out that the master is from noble family);
Georgy "Lomov" Oppokov (also from the nobility).

Rumors circulate stubbornly about Andropov's Jewish origin - it's amazing! However, while there is no direct reliable information, we will believe the official biography. In a similar way, Philip Goloshchekin got on the list, rather, by inertia - there is no documentary evidence of his "real name" and Jewish origin. But this one, since no one argues, let it be for now.

Another question arises about the Khrushchev Ministry of Agriculture, Mikhail Olshansky - here he is, the stereotype of Jewish appearance does not much correspond, and the surname is Belarusian in origin. It seems that questions should not arise, however, the birthplace of the minister, Sarny, was at the beginning of the 20th century. So in this case, the grandmother said in two in the literal sense. If someone has confirmation or refutation of the guess, I would be very grateful.

Perhaps it is still worth dispelling a well-known misconception - despite numerous statements by publicists of the "Black Hundred" ™ direction, the Bolshevik "tribune" Volodarsky, who was killed in the spring of 1918 in Petrograd, was never a member of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR (although he is credited with the fictitious post of "People's Commissar for Press, Propaganda and Agitation" "). The fact is that after the Bolsheviks came to power in the localities, following the example of the center, their own councils of people's commissars began to form. And so Volodarsky was a member of the council of commissars of the Union of Communes of the Northern Regions - it was there that he was the commissar for the press, propaganda and agitation. That is, this is a regional "minister", nothing more.

However, you will still meet the name "Volodarsky" in the list presented - only not at the beginning, but quite at the end. And for good reason: the statistician is the younger brother of the St. Petersburg "newspaper dictator". That's how it is in life :o)

Such was the situation in the Soviets with people's commissars and ministers of Jewish nationality. As you can see, nothing out of the ordinary, everything is quite decent. Much more decent than in sovereign, and then independent Russia, where for 21 years only 12 people from this people were part of the highest body of executive power. So you need to take a closer look at the national policy of the current government! ;about)

Z.Y. Of course, the representation of Jews at the government level is not limited to these persons - there were people's commissars "of them" in the union republics, but this already requires a separate special immersion. A separate special immersion also requires the topic of Jewish heads of branch headquarters of other giant people's commissariats - for the most part, by the end of the 30s, during Stalin's inflating of the states, they took shape as independent people's commissariats. The list of residents of the "Government House" shows that at this level the representation of Jews was much wider - approximately like with the "authorities", the list of heads of local branches of which in the 20-30s, in general, speaks for itself. But, again, you need to work separately.

Bibliography Introduction Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR (Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, SNK RSFSR) - the name of the government of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from the October Revolution of 1917 to 1946. The council consisted of people's commissars who led the people's commissariats (people's commissariats, NK). After the formation of the USSR, a similar body was created at the union level. 1. General information The Council of People's Commissars (SNK) was formed in accordance with the "Decree on the Establishment of the Council of People's Commissars", adopted by the II All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies on October 27, 1917. The name "Council of People's Commissars" was proposed by Trotsky: Power in St. Petersburg was won. It is necessary to form a government. - How to call it? Lenin reasoned aloud. Only not ministers: this is a vile, shabby name. - Commissars could be, I suggested, but only now there are too many commissars. Maybe high commissioners? No, "supreme" sounds bad. Is it possible "people's"? - People's Commissars? Well, that would probably work. And the government as a whole? - The Council of People's Commissars? - The Council of People's Commissars, Lenin picked up, this is excellent: it smells terrible of revolution. According to the Constitution of 1918, it was called the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR. administrative power, the right to issue decrees having the force of law, while combining legislative, administrative and executive functions. The Council of People's Commissars lost the character of a temporary governing body after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, which was legally enshrined in the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1918. Issues considered by the Council of People's Commissars were decided by a simple majority of votes. The meetings were attended by members of the Government, the chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the manager of affairs and secretaries of the Council of People's Commissars, representatives of departments. The staff of the administration of affairs in 1921 consisted of 135 people. (According to the data of the TsGAOR of the USSR, f. 130, op. 25, d. 2, ll. 19 - 20.) By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of March 23, 1946, the Council of People's Commissars was transformed into the Council of Ministers. 2. Legislative framework of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR According to the Constitution of the RSFSR dated July 10, 1918, the activities of the Council of People's Commissars are:
