- Administrative/biographical history:
- This fond constitutes a collection of microfilm documents from f. 3316 of the State Archive of the Russian Federation (the Central Executive Committee of the Council of Workers’, Peasants’, and Red Army Deputies of the USSR [TsIK SSSR]). From 1922-38, the USSR Central Executive Committee was the supreme body of state power in the Soviet Union in intervals between all-union congresses of councils, at which it was elected. From 1924 on, it had two chambers: the Union Council and the Council of Nationalities. It elected a presidium and chairs thereof (one for each union republic), as well as a secretary. It formed the Council of People’s Commissars and the Supreme Court. It functioned until, pursuant to the Soviet Constitution of 1936, the USSR Supreme Council was established.
