The List of ministries of the Soviet Union outlines the central governmental departments, established to oversee the administration and coordination of industrial, economic, social, and defense sectors of the USSR from its inception until its dissolution. Following the 1946 transformation of People’s Commissariats into ministries, numerous All‑Union and Union‑Republican ministries were formed to manage areas such as defense, agriculture, industry, foreign affairs, internal affairs, culture, and energy. This list compiles each ministry with its creation and dissolution dates, along with notable leaders. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in late December 1991, most ministries were disbanded or transferred to successor republics, marking the end of centralized Soviet governance.
