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 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 administration of affairs, 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;

food;

· State control;

· Supreme Council of National Economy;

health care.

Under each people's commissar and under his chairmanship, a collegium is formed, whose members 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:

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

WIKI about SNK: "

Immediately before the seizure of power on the day of the revolution, the Bolshevik Central Committee instructed Kamenev and Winter (Berzin) to enter into political contact with the Left SRs and begin negotiations with them on the composition of the future government. During the work of the Second Congress of Soviets, the Bolsheviks offered the Left SRs to enter the government, but they refused. The factions of the Right Socialist-Revolutionaries and Mensheviks left the Second Congress of Soviets at the very beginning of its work, before the formation of the government. The Bolsheviks were forced to form a one-party government.

The Council of People's Commissars was formed in accordance with the "", adopted by the II All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies on October 27, 1917. The decree began with the words:

To form for the administration of the country, until the convocation of the Constituent Assembly, a provisional workers' and peasants' government, which will be called the Council of People's Commissars.

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 right to form the Council of People's Commissars was given to the All-Russian Central Executive Committee; The Council of People's Commissars was the body of general administration of the affairs of the RSFSR, which had the right to issue decrees, while the All-Russian Central Executive Committee had the right to cancel or suspend any decision or decision of the Council of People's Commissars.

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, and representatives of departments.

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

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

Legislative base of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR

management of the general affairs of the RSFSR

management of individual branches of government (art. 35, 37)

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

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 became the executive and administrative body of state power of the Russian Federation.

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 bodies 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 SNK 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 government controlled separate area of government 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.

Introduction

There is no doubt about the relevance of the chosen topic, since the study of the Soviet model of power, its essence, patterns and features of development is not only Russian, but also global importance. This system of power had an impact on the entire course of the history of the 20th century. And at the same time, this phenomenon causes ongoing controversy in the scientific and public environment.

The complexity and inconsistency of the processes of development of the Soviet system of power requires the study of political history.

The Soviet state apparatus arose as a result of the revolutionary breakdown of the apparatus of the bourgeois state and was a fundamentally new historical type of state apparatus.

The state apparatus is a system of bodies that practically exercise state power and functions of the state.

The state apparatus is often understood as a set of executive (administrative) authorities that perform the daily work of government. In the activities of the state apparatus, its structure, functions and methods, the class essence of a given state, its historical role.

The main place in his activity was occupied by creative, organizational and creative tasks: the construction of a new, socialist economy, the achievement of the highest productivity of social labor, comprehensive development science and culture, the communist education of the working people, the creation of conditions for the most complete satisfaction of their material and cultural needs.

In a broad sense, the Soviet state apparatus consisted of Soviets with their ramifications in the center and in the localities in the form of economic, cultural, administrative, defense and other bodies and numerous public organizations of workers with their multimillion-dollar assets.

In a narrow concept, it covered the highest and local bodies of state power - the Soviets of Working People's Deputies, which created the bodies of state administration: in the center - first the Council of People's Commissars, and then the Council of Ministers of the USSR and the Councils of Ministers of the Union and Autonomous Republics, as well as ministries and departments; on the ground - the executive committees of the Soviets and their departments, which deal with the work of industrial enterprises, collective farms, state farms, MTS, direct the development of public utilities, trade, public catering, and take care of the cultural and community services for the population.

aim term paper is a study of the history of the formation of the first Soviet government.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks:

Consider the activities of the highest authorities after the overthrow of the Provisional Government.

Describe the history of the creation of the Soviet state apparatus.

Consider the activities of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR on the example of the "Red Terror".

1. Creation of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR

.1 General information

The Council of People's Commissars (SNK) was formed in accordance with the "" 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 Bolsheviks approached the question of creating a Soviet government from a class position, from the point of view of establishing and implementing the dictatorship of the proletariat. There could be no place for representatives of the bourgeoisie in the Soviet government. This provision was emphasized by V.I. Lenin in a report on the tasks of the power of the Soviets at a meeting Petrograd Soviet Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies October 25, 1917 “First of all,” said V.I. Lenin, - the significance of this revolution is that we will have a Soviet government, our own organ of power, without any participation of the bourgeoisie. The oppressed masses themselves will create power.”

On the morning of October 25, 1917, the Military Revolutionary Committee issued an appeal in which the creation of the Soviet government was put forward as one of the priorities in organizing a new, socialist government. The Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, with the participation of representatives of district and provincial Soviets of Peasants' Deputies, was to deal directly with the formation of the Soviet government.

Turning to the consideration of the questions that were on the order of the day, the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets on the night of October 26 adopted by a majority of votes against two, with twelve abstentions, an appeal to the workers, soldiers and peasants. The provisions enshrined in the appeal were a program for the future Soviet government. They served as the basis for deciding on the composition of the government. The Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets was to form a government that could successfully implement the decisions of the Congress of Soviets.

The Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets on the night of October 27, 1917, by an overwhelming majority of votes, adopted V.I. Lenin's decree "On the Formation of a Workers' and Peasants' Government". It was the most important constitutional act of the Soviet socialist state. By this resolution, the Congress of Soviets established the system of central organs of the Soviet state, created the first Soviet government - the Council of People's Commissars (SNK) and determined the most important principles for the organization and activities of the government.

"The Council of People's Commissars of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is the executive and administrative body of the Central Executive Committee of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and is formed by the Central Executive Committee of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, consisting of:

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics;

vice chairmen;

People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs;

People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs;

People's Commissar for Foreign Trade;

People's Commissar of Railways;

People's Commissar of Posts and Telegraphs;

People's Commissar of the Workers' and Peasants' Inspectorate;

Chairman of the Supreme Council of the National Economy;

People's Commissar of Labor;

People's Commissar of Food;

People's Commissar of Finance.

The Council of People's Commissars of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, within the limits of the rights granted to it by the Central Executive Committee of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and on the basis of the Regulations on the Council of People's Commissars of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, issues decrees and resolutions binding on the entire territory of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The Council of People's Commissars of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics considers decrees and resolutions introduced both by individual people's commissariats of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and by the central executive committees of the Union republics and their presidiums.

The Council of People's Commissars of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is responsible in all its work to the Central Executive Committee of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its Presidium.

Decrees and orders of the Council of People's Commissars of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics may be suspended or canceled by the Central Executive Committee of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its Presidium.

The Central Executive Committees of the Union Republics and their presidiums shall protest the decrees and resolutions of the Council of People's Commissars of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics without suspending their execution.

Initially, the Council of People's Commissars consisted of 15 persons: the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, 10 people's commissars for certain branches of government (internal affairs, agriculture, labor, trade and industry, public education, finance, foreign affairs, justice, post and telegraph, on food affairs), three members of the Committee on Military and Naval Affairs and the chairman of the Committee on Nationalities. V.I. was approved as the Chairman of the SNK. Lenin. Members of the Soviet government approved V.A. Antonov-Ovseenko, N.V. Krylenko, P.E. Dybenko, I.V. Stalin, A.V. Lunacharsky and others.

As part of the Council of People's Commissars, the post of People's Commissar for Railway Affairs was temporarily left unfilled in connection with Vikzhel's interference in the affairs of the department of communications. The Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets, having temporarily postponed the decision on the appointment of a People's Commissar for Railway Affairs, addressed all railway workers with an appeal expressing confidence that railway workers and employees would take measures to preserve order on railways and ensure the delivery of food to the cities and to the front. The Congress of Soviets declared that representatives of railway workers would be involved in the leadership of the Department of Communications.

The Council of People's Commissars, created by the congress, was an organ that expressed the true interests of the working class and the working peasantry. Therefore, the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets called the Council of People's Commissars a workers' and peasants' government.

The Congress of Soviets called the workers' and peasants' government provisional. P.I. Stuchka considered this name the result of an oversight made "in a hurry". These statements by P.I. The knocks are wrong. The name of the Council of People's Commissars by the provisional government was associated with the forthcoming convocation of the Constituent Assembly. Insofar as the Congress of Soviets deemed it necessary to convene a Constituent Assembly, in so far as this assembly was convened, the Soviet government should be called provisional.

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. Bloody history of people's commissars

September 1918, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR issued a resolution "On the Red Terror". The resolution stated that the Council of People's Commissars, “having heard the report of the Chairman of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution, finds that in this situation, providing rear by terror is a direct necessity; that it is necessary to secure the Soviet Republic from class enemies by isolating them in concentration camps; that all persons connected with the White Guard organizations, conspiracies and rebellions are subject to execution ... ".

Under this resolution, which opened a new chapter in the history of mutually destructive civil war in Russia, the signatures were put by People's Commissar of Justice D. Kursky, People's Commissar of Internal Affairs G. Petrovsky and the manager of the Council of People's Commissars V. Bonch-Bruevich.

Actually, on September 2, 1918, the chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, Yakov Sverdlov, announced the beginning of the "Red Terror" campaign. Formally, the "Red Terror" was a response to the assassination attempt on the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Vladimir Ulyanov-Lenin on August 30 and the murder on the same day of the chairman of the Petrograd Cheka, Moses Uritsky.

However, in fact, bloody reprisals against their political opponents came into use by the Bolsheviks from the very first days of the coup carried out by them on October 25 (November 7, according to a new style), 1917. Although just on October 26, by the decision of the II Congress of Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies (the same one at which Lenin announced the accomplished proletarian revolution), the death penalty in Russia was abolished. Lenin himself, as Leon Trotsky said in his memoirs, was very dissatisfied with this decision, and "visionarily" told his comrades in the Central Committee and the Council of People's Commissars that a revolution without the death penalty was impossible. Actually, back in September 1917, in his work “The Threatening Catastrophe and How to Fight It,” he pointed out that “without the death penalty in relation to the exploiters (i.e., landowners and capitalists), any revolutionary government can hardly manage ".

In secret order in those places where there was armed resistance to the establishment of Soviet power, its opponents began to be shot back in November-December 1917. In fairness, we point out that the opponents of the Bolsheviks did not hesitate to resort to similar measures. So, during the October battles of 1917 in Moscow, Colonel Ryabtsev, who commanded the forces of supporters of the Provisional Government, shot in the Kremlin more than 300 unarmed soldiers of the 56th reserve regiment, who he suspected of sympathizing with the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks, immediately after their victory in Moscow, shot several hundred cadets and students opposing them. However, Viktor Nogin, who led the Moscow Revolutionary Committee, stopped unauthorized executions and released the remaining opponents on all four sides. He even later accused his comrades in the Central Committee and SNK of “political terror unworthy of the party of revolutionaries,” and for such idealism he was sent by Lenin to a lower level of the party hierarchy.

Meanwhile, resistance to the measures of the Soviet government in different regions of the country began to gain momentum, and the Bolsheviks increasingly had to resort to force of arms to suppress it. In January 1918, the Bolsheviks shot on the streets of Petrograd a peaceful demonstration of supporters of the Constituent Assembly that they dispersed. In the same place, where the resistance was of an armed nature, no one was holding back the executions.

After the troops of the German Kaiser Wilhelm launched an offensive along the entire line of the former front in February 1918, Lenin insisted on the adoption of the famous decree “The Socialist Fatherland is in Danger!”. Here, in plain text, the death penalty was introduced without trial for the commission of crimes by "enemy agents, speculators, rioters, hooligans, counter-revolutionary agitators, German spies."

In May 1918, Lenin proclaimed a "crusade for bread", decreed the creation of the Prodarmia (where he planned to send 90% of all the armed forces available to the SNK), which was supposed to take "surplus" food from the peasant population by force. This decree also provided for the execution on the spot of those who would oppose the withdrawal of these "surpluses". It should be noted that the beginning of a full-scale civil war turned out to be more connected with the implementation of this decree than with the Czechoslovak rebellion or the campaign of the Volunteer Army of General Denikin in the Kuban.

In this situation, on June 13, 1918, the Council of People's Commissars adopted a decree on the restoration of the death penalty. From that moment on, execution could be applied according to the verdicts of the revolutionary tribunals. On June 21, 1918, the first revolutionary tribunal sentenced to death was Admiral Shchastny. Having taken the initiative, he took the ships of the Baltic Fleet to Kronstadt, preventing the Germans from capturing them, after which Trotsky, who by that time had become the Commissar of the Navy, announced that Shchastny had saved the fleet in order to gain popularity among the sailors and then send them to overthrow the Soviet regime.

As the activities of the Bolsheviks aroused more and more protests among various sections of the population, the Soviet leadership had to improve its ingenuity in measures to suppress it more and more. So, for example, on August 9, 1918, Lenin sent instructions to the Penza Gubispolkom: “It is necessary to carry out a merciless mass terror against the kulaks, priests and White Guards; doubtful ones to be locked up in a concentration camp outside the city.” Then comes the following "parting word": "Decree and implement the complete disarmament of the population, shoot on the spot mercilessly for any concealed rifle." In the complete works of V.I. Lenin, there are similar instructions for other cities and provinces.

Among the measures to restore order and prevent resistance, sabotage and counter-revolution, it was also decided to start taking hostages among potential opponents of Soviet power and their families. The chairman of the Cheka, Dzerzhinsky, motivated this measure by the fact that it was “the most effective: taking hostages among the bourgeoisie, based on the lists compiled by you to recover the indemnity imposed on the bourgeoisie ... the arrest and imprisonment of all hostages and suspects in concentration camps.”

Lenin developed this proposal and proposed a list of measures for its practical implementation: “I propose not to take “hostages”, but to appoint them by name according to the volosts. The purpose of the appointment is precisely the rich, because they are responsible for the contribution, they are responsible with their lives for the immediate collection and dumping of surplus grain in each volost.

Such proposals were taken aback even by many Bolsheviks, who considered them “barbaric”, but Lenin answered them: “I reason soberly and categorically. Which is better - to imprison a few dozen or hundreds of instigators, guilty or innocent, conscious or unconscious, or to lose thousands of Red Army soldiers and workers? The first is better. And let me be accused of any mortal sins and violations of freedom - I plead guilty, and the interests of the workers will benefit.

Of course, there was a fair amount of demagoguery in these words of the proletarian leader. By the summer of 1918, the workers often began to oppose the Soviet regime - in Izhevsk, Votkinsk, Samara, Astrakhan, Ashkhabad, Yaroslavl, Tula, etc. The Bolsheviks suppressed their speeches no less cruelly than any other "counter-revolution".

However, after the implementation of the decision of the Council of People's Commissars on the "Red Terror", emergency commissions, revolutionary tribunals, revolutionary committees and other bodies of Soviet power (up to the red command of individual units) received the right to crack down on everyone who was considered potential opponents of Soviet power, without even finding out the specific guilt of that or any other accused.

On November 1, 1918, one of the leaders of the Cheka, Martin Latsis, in the Red Terror magazine, explained the activities carried out as follows: “We are not waging war against individuals. We are exterminating the bourgeoisie as a class. Do not look at the investigation for materials and evidence that the accused acted in deed or word against the Soviet regime. The first question we must ask him is what class he belongs to, what is his origin, upbringing, education or profession. These questions should determine the fate of the accused. This is the meaning and essence of the Red Terror.”

Similarly to Latsis, the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Tribunal of the RSFSR, Karl Danishevsky, stated: “Military tribunals are not and should not be guided by any legal norms. These are punitive organs created in the course of the most intense revolutionary struggle.

However, the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs, Petrovsky, considered it necessary to somehow regulate the activities of his comrades and issued instructions on whom to apply extrajudicial executions to. This list included:

"one. All former gendarmerie officers on a special list approved by the Cheka.

All gendarmerie and police officers suspicious of the activities, according to the results of the search.

Anyone with weapons without permission, unless there are extenuating circumstances (for example, membership in a revolutionary Soviet party or workers' organization).

All with found false documents, if they are suspected of counter-revolutionary activities. In doubtful cases, cases should be referred to the final consideration of the Cheka.

Exposing in relations with a criminal purpose with Russian and foreign counter-revolutionaries and their organizations, both located on the territory of Soviet Russia and outside it.

All active members of the party of socialist revolutionaries of the center and right (note: members of leading organizations are considered active members - all committees from central to local city and district; members of combat squads and those who are in contact with them on the affairs of the party; performing any assignments of military squads, serving between individual organizations, etc.).

All active figures in the counter-revolutionary parties (the Cadets, Octobrists, etc.).

The case of executions is necessarily discussed in the presence of a representative of the Russian Party of Communists.

Execution is carried out only subject to the unanimous decision of the three members of the Commission.

No less wide was the list of categories to be placed in concentration camps.

However, even this long list did not include all possible enemies, and the leadership of the RCP (b) also developed separate “targeted” campaigns to eliminate “socially alien” classes - the Cossacks (“Decossackization”) and the clergy.

So, on January 24, 1919, at a meeting of the Orgburo of the Central Committee, a directive was adopted that marked the beginning of mass terror and repression in relation to "all Cossacks in general who took any direct or indirect part in the fight against Soviet power." The resolution of the Donburo of the RCP (b) of April 8, 1919 posed “an urgent task of the complete, rapid, decisive destruction of the Cossacks as a special economic group, the destruction of its economic foundations, the physical destruction of the Cossack bureaucracy and officers, in general, all the tops of the Cossacks, actively counter-revolutionary, spraying and the neutralization of the ordinary Cossacks and the formal liquidation of the Cossacks.

The Ural Regional Revolutionary Committee also issued an instruction in February 1919, according to which the Cossacks should be "outlawed, and they are subject to extermination." In pursuance of the instructions, the existing concentration camps were used and a number of new places of deprivation of liberty were organized. In a memorandum to the Central Committee of the RCP (b) a member of the Cossack department of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee Ruzheinikov at the end of 1919, it was reported that the 25th division of the Red Army (under the command of the legendary Chapaev. - Note KM.RU), when moving from Lbischensk to the village of Skvorkina, burned all the villages along 80 miles long and 30-40 wide. By the middle of 1920, the Ural army was actually completely destroyed.

In the spring of 1920, “a member of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Kafront Comrade. Ordzhonikidze ordered: the first - to burn the village of Kalinovskaya; the second - to give the villages of Yermolovskaya, Zakan-Yurtovskaya, Samashkinskaya, Mikhailovskaya always former subjects of Soviet power to the mountainous Chechens. Why should the entire male population of the above villages from 18 to 50 years old be loaded into trains and sent under escort to the North for hard forced labor, the elderly, women and children should be evicted from the villages, allowing them to move to farms and villages to the North. “We definitely decided to evict 18 villages with a population of 60,000 on the other side of the Terek,” Ordzhonikidze himself later reported. He clarified: "The villages of Sunzhenskaya, Tarskaya, Field Marshal's, Romanovskaya, Yermolovskaya and others were liberated from the Cossacks and transferred to the highlanders - the Ingush and Chechens."

It must be pointed out that Comrade Sergo was not at all engaged in amateur activities, but acted within the framework of the directive of Comrade Lenin. The latter pointed out in the directive of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the RCP (b): “On the agrarian issue, it is necessary to recognize the return of the highlanders North Caucasus lands taken from them by the Great Russians at the expense of the kulak part of the Cossack population and instruct the Council of People's Commissars to immediately prepare an appropriate decree.

Lenin also kept reprisals against the clergy on personal control. On May 1, 1919, a secret Directive of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee No. 13666/2 was issued to the Chairman of the Cheka F.E. Dzerzhinsky "On the fight against priests and religion" signed by the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Lenin and the chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee Kalinin with the following content: "In accordance with the decision of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Soviet. Nar. Commissars need to do away with priests and religion as soon as possible. Priests must be arrested as counter-revolutionaries and saboteurs, shot mercilessly and everywhere. And as much as possible. Churches are to be closed. Seal the premises of the temples and turn them into warehouses.”

Considering the national composition of the Bolshevik elite, it should be noted that the so-called “fight against anti-Semitism” became an essential component of the “Red Terror”, which from the very beginning was an important goal of the Bolsheviks’ punitive policy (that’s why they were immediately called Judeo-Bolsheviks). Already in April 1918, a circular was issued with an order to stop "the Black Hundred anti-Semitic agitation of the clergy by taking the most decisive measures to combat counter-revolutionary activities and agitation." And in July of the same year, the all-Union decree of the Council of People's Commissars signed by Lenin on the persecution of anti-Semitism: “counter-revolutionaries in many cities, especially in the front line, are conducting pogrom agitation ... The Council of People's Commissars orders all Soviets to take decisive measures to root out the anti-Semitic movement. Pogromists and those leading pogromist agitation are ordered to be outlawed, which meant execution. (And in the Criminal Code adopted in 1922, Article 83 prescribed for "incitement of national hatred" punishment up to execution.)

The "anti-Semitic" July execution decree began to be even more zealously applied in conjunction with the September decree on the "Red Terror". Among the well-known figures, the first victims of these two combined decrees were Archpriest John Vostorgov (accused of serving the holy infant Gabriel of Bialystok, martyred by the Jews), Bishop Ephraim (Kuznetsov) of Selenginsky, priest-"anti-Semite" Lutostansky with his brother, N.A. Maklakov (former Minister of the Interior, proposed to the Tsar in December 1916 to disperse the Duma), A.N. Khvostov (leader of the right-wing faction in the 4th Duma, former Minister of the Interior), I.G. Shcheglovitov (Minister of Justice until 1915, patron of the Union of the Russian People, one of the organizers of the investigation into the "Beilis case", chairman of the State Council) and Senator S.P. Beletsky (former head of the Police Department).

Thus identifying "anti-Semitism" with counter-revolution, the Bolsheviks themselves identified their power with the Jewish one. Thus, in the secret resolution of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League "On the issue of combating anti-Semitism" dated November 2, 1926, it was noted "the strengthening of anti-Semitism", which is used by "anti-communist organizations and elements in the struggle against the Soviet authorities." Yu. Larin (Lurie), a member of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of National Economy and the State Planning Commission, one of the authors of the project to transfer the Crimea to the Jews and "one of the initiators of the campaign against anti-Semitism (1926-1931)", devoted a whole book to this - "Jews and anti-Semitism in the USSR." He defined “anti-Semitism as a means of camouflaged mobilization against the Soviet regime…Therefore, counteracting anti-Semitic agitation is an indispensable condition for increasing the defense capability of our country” (highlighted in the original), states Larin and insists on the application of Lenin’s decree of 1918: “Put “active anti-Semites outside the law ”, i.e. shoot”… At the end of the 1920s, only in Moscow, about every ten days, there was a trial for anti-Semitism; they could be judged for the mere spoken word "Jew".

According to some historians, from 1918 to the end of the 1930s. in the course of repressions against the clergy, about 42,000 clergymen were shot or died in places of deprivation of liberty. Similar data on the statistics of executions are given by the St. Tikhon Theological Institute, which analyzes repressions against clergy on the basis of archival materials.

The total number of victims of the "Red Terror" (however, for the sake of justice, we point out, as well as the terror of the "White", nationalist regimes, "Green", Makhnovist and other rebellions) is not possible to establish.

According to the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 9-P of November 30, 1992, “the ideas of the dictatorship of the proletariat, the “red terror”, the forcible elimination of the exploiting classes, the so-called. enemies of the people and Soviet power led to the mass genocide of the population of the country in the 20-50s, the destruction of the social structure of civil society, the monstrous incitement of social discord, the death of tens of millions of innocent people"

.2 About those who are for “the fight against anti-Semitism»

As you know, in October 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia, after which bloody repressions began against the color of the Russian nation: officers, intelligentsia, Cossacks, clergy, etc., but few people know that almost all of these so-called Bolsheviks were of Jewish origin.

Most of the agents of darkness (Judeo-Zionists) put on Bolshevik masks just before the October coup or immediately after it, in order to seize the power that the devil Jehovah once promised them. And then they captured the blood of the Russian people and other peoples inhabiting Russian empire, flowed like a river.

For those who do not know the history of our country well, we advise you to read the historical essay by Andrey Dikoy Jews in Russia and the USSR, published in 1967 in New York. In the 1990s, the book was repeatedly reprinted in Russia. Below are excerpts from a book published in Novosibirsk by the Blagovest publishing house in 1994.

In this book, on page 451462, the leaders of the country are listed by name, who decided the fate of Russia after October 1917. There are 539 top management officials listed in total. national composition they were divided as follows: Jews 442 (82%), Latvians 34 (6%), Russians 31 (5%), Germans 11 (2%), Armenians 10 (2%), Poles 3, Finns 3, Georgians 2, Chekhov 1 , Vengrov 1.

The COUNCIL OF PEOPLE'S COMMISSIONERS, which consisted of 22 two top leaders of the country, included 3 Russians (Lenin, Chicherin, Lunacharsky), 1 Armenian (Protian) and 1 Georgian (Stalin), the remaining 17 people were Jews.

Moreover, the question of 3 Russians is quite controversial. Here, for example, as Grigory Klimov writes about this in the book of God's people:

“So, let's return to our analysis of A. Diky and his book “Jews in Russia and the USSR. Historical essay". What interested me most about this book were the lists of the Soviet government from 1919 to the 1940s. Many people think that Jews flooded the Soviet government only in the 1920s. No. Looks like it was the same in the 40s.

Now let's analyze the Soviet government immediately after the revolution

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars - Ulyanov (Lenin). Russian is written. But in fact, Lenin was a half-Jew by his mother, and according to rabbinical laws, this is a complete Jew. So the author here either underestimated or did not know the significance of half-Jews. After all, a half-Jew is always more Jewish than Russian.

Commissar of Foreign Affairs - Chicherin. Russian again. And the same story. Either Wild didn't know, or for some reason didn't want to write about it. Chicherin, in fact, on his father's side, was from the old tribal nobility, and on his mother - a Jew. So Chicherin was a half-Jew, and according to rabbinical Israeli laws, he is considered a full Jew. But this is not enough. In addition to being half-Jewish, he was also ***. But that didn't stop him from getting married. But who did he marry? On Jewish. So here we are a little supplementing Wild ... I think that when appointing Chicherin as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lenin took all this into account. In prim England, it was easy for Chicherin to speak with the lords on an equal footing - he was from their circle; in Masonic America, he is also his own - and ***, and mommy is Jewish

Commissioner for Nationalities - Dzhugashvili (Stalin). It means Georgian. And we already know that Stalin is a half-Jew, a Caucasian half-Jew. Even his surname, if translated into Russian, will sound like this: shvili - son, and juga - in many dialects means - a Jew. Even in English - a Jew. So, he himself is Joseph, his son is Jacob, his surname is the son of a Jew, in the end he goes like a Georgian.

President of the Supreme Economic Council - Lurie (Larin). Jew.

We have already met this Larin. Bukharin married his daughter.

Restoration Commissioner - Schlichter. Jew.

Commissioner of Agriculture - Protian. Armenian.

Commissioner of State Control - Lander. Jew.

Commissar of the Army and Navy - Bronstein (Trotsky). Jew.

Commissioner of State Lands - Kaufman. Jew.

Commissioner of Public Works - Schmitt. Jew.

Commissioner of Public Supplies - E. Lilina (Knigisen). Jewish.

Commissar of Public Education - Lunacharsky. It says Russian here. In fact, Lunacharsky was a Jew from the converts. And he was married to a Jewess Rosenelle.

Commissioner of Religions - Svalbard. Jew.

People's Commissar - Apfelbaum (Zinoviev). Jew.

Commissioner of Public Hygiene - Anvelt. Jew.

Commissioner of Finance - Gukovsky. Jew.

The press commissioner is Cogen (Volodarsky). Jew.

Commissioner for Election Affairs - Radomyslsky (Uritsky). Jew.

Commissioner of Justice - Steinberg. Jew.

The evacuation commissioner is Fenigstein. Jew.

His assistants are Ravich and Zaslavsky. Jews.

In total - out of 22 members: Jews - 17, Russians - 3 (in fact they are all half-Jews), Armenians - 1, Georgians - 1 (in fact, Stalin is a Caucasian half-Jew).

As you can see, Grigory Klimov made significant amendments to the information of Andrei Diky, as a result of which all 3 Russians and 1 Georgian in the country's highest body, the COUNCIL OF PEOPLE'S COMMISSIONERS, ended up with a lie.

The book of Andrei Diky lists more than five hundred Bolshevik leaders (with their names and nationalities) who found themselves in Russian power after October 1917. I will not list them, because it will take a lot of time and space, but I will indicate the main figures:

The MILITARY COMMISSARIAT consisted of 35 Jews, 7 Latvians and 1 German, there were no Russians.

The COMMISSARY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS consisted of 43 Jews, 10 Latvians, 3 Armenians, 2 Poles, 2 Germans and 2 Russians.

The COMMISSARY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS consisted of 13 Jews, 1 Latvian, 1 German and 1 Russian.

The Commissariat of Finance consisted of 24 Jews, 2 Latvians, 1 Pole and 2 Russians.

The COMMISSARY OF JUSTICE consisted of 18 Jews and 1 Armenian, there were no Russians.

PROVINCIAL COMMISSIONERS 21 Jews, 1 Latvian and 1 Russian.

THE BUREAU OF THE FIRST COUNCIL OF WORKERS' AND SOLDIERS' DEPUTIES IN MOSCOW consisted of 19 Jews, 3 Latvians, 1 Armenian, there were no Russians.

The CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE of the 4th RUSSIAN CONGRESS OF WORKERS' AND PEASANTS' DEPUTIES consisted of 33 Jews and 1 Russian (Lenin).

Of the 42 employees (editors and journalists) of the newspapers available at that time (Pravda, Izvestia, Znamya Truda, etc.), only one Maxim Gorky was not a Jew, all the rest belonged to the chosen people.

As can be seen from the list, power after October 1917 was in the hands of the Jews, many of whom covered themselves with Russian names and surnames. The Russians themselves (in their own country) were in power only 5%, and even those for the most part were living or had Jewish wives.

As an example, I will name the names of the most famous Kremlin leaders whose wives were Jewish: Andreev, Bukharin, Vorovsky, Voroshilov, Kalinin, Kirov, Lunacharsky, Molotov, Rykov, and others. From times closer to us, Brezhnev, Suslov and the first president can be added to Russia Yeltsin. (Data on wives are taken from the book by V. Korchagin The trial of an academician. Moscow, Vityaz, 1996, pp. 459-460).

Kuibyshev, Poskrebyshev, Yezhov, Tukhachevsky were also married to Jewish women. Kamenev was Trotsky's brother-in-law by wife, Yagoda married Sverdlov's niece. Stalin's last wife (unofficially) was Roza Koganovich, sister of Lazar Koganovich. Stalin's eldest son Yakov was married to a Jewish woman. Stalin's daughter Svetlana was married to a Jew. Malenkov had a Jewish son-in-law. Khrushchev's son was also married to a Jewish woman. This list can be continued, but I think that there is no need for this, because nepotism, groupism and clannishness, mixed with Jewish blood, are already obvious.

For a more complete picture, here is an excerpt from Grigory Klimov's book Protocols of the Soviet Wise Men, where Stalin is mentioned in chapter 17:

“Let's take a look at Monsignor, i.e. Cardinal George Dillon's book Unmasked Freemasonry (The Secret Power Behind Communism), London, 1965. I quote: David Weissman, in an article in B'nai B'rith Gazette dated March 3, 1950, writes that Stalin was a Jew (p. 19). I will add that B'nai B'rith is the center of Jewish Freemasonry, so the source is quite authoritative. So, the Jews themselves admit that Stalin was a Jew or, according to other sources, a half-Jew. And now the Jews are screaming all over the world that Stalin was an anti-Semite. So figure it out here, where is the Semite and where is the anti-Semite?

Now let's get acquainted with what Grigory Klimov writes about this in his book God's people:

“So, one more pattern should be noted. At first, after the revolution, all power was in the hands of the Jews. Then power passes into the hands of half-Jews in disguise. Stalin is a disguised Caucasian half-Jew. Beria is also a disguised Caucasian half-Jew. And after the death of Stalin, power passed, oddly enough, to Jewish wives. Because almost all the leaders after Stalin were married to Jewish women.

Khrushchev was married to a Jewess Gorskaya by his first marriage. And all the children of Khrushchev from this Jewess, of course, are half-breeds. And all of them in their marriages went back to the Jews.

After Khrushchev, Brezhnev was also married to a Jewish woman. Andropov, himself a half-Armenian, half-Jew, was married to a Jewish woman. But Gorbachev, as it were, falls out of this series, but his daughter married a Jew ... ".

Now let's sum up. As can be seen from the above information, almost all key positions in Russia after October 1917 were occupied by Jews, and the few Russians among them were mostly Jewish or married to Jews. As a result, the question arises: where did so many Jews come from in Russia? And how did they manage to seize power in such a big country? And why did they kill their own?

Conclusion

Summing up the work done, it can be stated that the formation of the principles of the Bolshevik policy passed a long period from the birth of the party to its coming to power. The legal registration of the developed norms in the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1918 is being completed. The party initially relied on a global transformation, which should have led to the formation of a classless society. And here they were direct followers of the founders of Marxism. However, the main place in their ideology was immediately occupied by the demand for the conquest of political power, without waiting until the necessary economic prerequisites for establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat were formed.

The coming to power of the Bolsheviks created a new practical reality, which was expressed by the urgent need to keep power in their hands. The narrowness of the social base led the Bolsheviks already at the beginning of 1918 to substantiate the leading role of revolutionary violence in establishing the foundations of the dictatorship of the proletariat. A characteristic feature of social policy was its class character. Already in the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1918, the right of the state to use measures of coercion and violence, deprivation of rights in relation to those who could resist this power, was proclaimed.

During the period of strengthening Soviet power up until August 1918, the Bolsheviks were still only groping for the levers of social policy. Along with this, both violent forms and methods and peaceful ones were determined. The first manifested themselves, first of all, in the form of dismissals for political reasons, the seizure of material resources from the hands of the bourgeoisie (through confiscations, requisitions, one-time collections of funds). The latter were implemented through material support, the introduction of a social security system, the creation of social protection bodies, and the folding of social privileges.

The loss of power by the Bolsheviks in August-September 1918, which in principle can be considered a failure of the social policy of the previous stage, led to the desire to rely on force methods. This was facilitated by the situation in the cities. The appearance of a mass of people who suffered (physically, morally and financially) from the activities of Komuch.

Since September 1918, the nature of Soviet power has changed. This was a reflection of the policy of the center and was automatically transferred to the local level. The dominant role began to play the red terror as an instrument of social policy.

Its functions consisted in the physical destruction of those who resisted Soviet power, instilling fear and isolating in concentration camps. However, almost immediately its main features appeared - mass character and facelessness. This greatly contributed to the death of a mass of citizens only because they belonged in the past to the ruling class (nobility, clergy, merchants) or class (large, middle, and then petty bourgeoisie). The logic of revolutionary violence gradually led to a constant resort to terror in an emergency.

Applying the provision of the Constitution "who does not work, he does not eat", the Bolsheviks used labor relations to change the social structure. Belonging to a professional organization, which granted the right to various benefits, acquired great importance. In this regard, the registration and accounting of the able-bodied population played an important role.

In parallel with relying on violent methods of politics, the Bolsheviks improved peaceful forms and methods. The policy of social security, the public catering system, material assistance, and the creation of new social benefits (in particular, in the field of taxation) have reached a wide scope.

At the final stage of the civil war, the crisis phenomena of the social policy of the Bolsheviks appeared: there were not enough funds for social security, violent methods of managing the rear became obsolete. A noticeable consequence of this period was the growth in the number of civil servants, who, by virtue of their ability to control the sphere of distribution, became a strong support for Soviet power. In general, the contradictions between the desire to normalize economic life by means of coercive methods of management became more and more pronounced: labor duties, mobilization, curtailment social guarantees for the proletariat, terror.

An analysis of the behavior of the people shows a clear discrepancy between the conclusion of Soviet historiography about the support of the working masses of the Bolsheviks and the actual historical situation. In its mass, the population did not understand and did not accept the ongoing revolutionary changes. The proletariat quickly became disillusioned with the "dictatorship for the proletariat", since it was practically excluded from participation in the development and decision-making.

The methods and tools developed and tested in the conditions of the civil war were later used by the Soviet government.

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 Bolsheviks approached the question of creating a Soviet government from a class position, from the point of view of establishing and implementing the dictatorship of the proletariat. There could be no place for representatives of the bourgeoisie in the Soviet government. This provision was emphasized by V.I. Lenin in a report on the tasks of the power of the Soviets at a meeting of the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies on October 25, 1917. “First of all,” said V.I. Lenin, - the significance of this revolution is that we will have a Soviet government, our own organ of power, without any participation of the bourgeoisie. The oppressed masses themselves will create power.”

As part of the Council of People's Commissars, the post of People's Commissar for Railway Affairs was temporarily left unfilled in connection with Vikzhel's interference in the affairs of the department of communications. The Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets, having temporarily postponed the decision on the appointment of a People's Commissar for Railway Affairs, addressed all railway workers with an appeal expressing confidence that railway workers and employees would take measures to maintain order on the railways and ensure the delivery of food to the cities and to front. The Congress of Soviets declared that representatives of railway workers would be involved in the leadership of the Department of Communications.

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.
