Minister and Prime Minister from 1935 to 1940

On November 23, 1935 he was appointed Prime Minister as his successor . As such, he was in office until February 16, 1940 and thus had the longest term of office of the post-war period after Andrei Lyaptschew . During this tenure he also held the office of Foreign Minister. Kyosseivanov's cabinet was widely seen as entirely dependent on the Tsar, who ruled largely dictatorially.
