At the beginning of the 20th century, Russia experienced many changes in its political system, which went from the one-party communist state to the current semi-presidential republic. After the October Revolution of 1916, the Council of People's Commissars was formed in the Russian Republic.

The coordination of ministers' plans and decisions went in two directions. First, the groups were supervised by a small number of senior party leaders, called “overlords,” who appointed deputies and formed an internal cabinet. Secondly, the detailed coordination of ministerial plans was entrusted to the State Planning Commission, which is an advisory body with ministerial status..
