Sovnarkhozes were introduced by Nikita Khrushchev in May 1957 in an attempt to combat the centralization and departmentalism of ministries.[1][2] The USSR was initially divided in 105 economic regions, with sovnarkhozes being operational and planning management;[3] the number was later reduced to 47.[4] Simultaneously, a large number of ministries were shut down.
