history
The Supreme Council for National Economy was founded by decree of December 15, 1917 by the Council of People's Commissars and the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (Russian ВЦИК / WZIK). His job was to organize and manage the entire national economy and finances of Russia and later the Soviet Union. Within the Supreme Council there were authorities for the individual branches of the economy: Main Sugar Department (Russian Главсахар), Main Oil Department (Russian Главнефть) and others.
The Main Department for State Industry (Russian центральное управление государственной промышо Цунностью; for short:. The main economics department (Russian Главное экономическое управление; abbreviation: ГЭУ ВСНХ) was founded to control and plan the industry.
Local councils for national economy (Russian Совнархозы; transcription: Sownarchosen) were formed in the governorates and Ujesds . In the years of war communism , the entire management of industrial production, the distribution of raw materials and finished production was concentrated in the hands of the Supreme Council for National Economy.
After the establishment of the Soviet Union (December 30, 1922) the Supreme Council for National Economy was given the powers of a United People's Commissariat (Russian объединённый наркомат).
On January 5, 1932, the Supreme Economic Council was transformed into the People's Commissariat for Heavy Industry (Russian: Наркомат тяжелой промышленности; short: НаркомТяжПром; transcription: NakomTjaschProm). The light industry, forestry and wood processing industries were transferred to the newly created People's Commissariats ( People's Commissariat for Light Industry - Russian Наркомлегпром - and People's Commissariat for Forestry - Russian Наркомлеспром).
