Improving the Legal Status and Coordination of the Activity of Ministries

Abstract

Many years of experience with the functioning of the ministries have shown that, under the conditions of a powerful federal socialist state, they constitute the most desirable form of organization for the central agencies of branch administration. The ministries have undergone reorganization at various periods in the development of the agencies of Soviet state administration, sometimes without sufficient grounds and for reasons of a subjective nature. But the process of improvement of the organization of ministries, guided by leading party bodies, has not ceased.
