- Ministry of Railways (Soviet Union)
-
The Ministry of Railways oversaw the railways of the Soviet Union. It was subdivided into 32 different railway agencies, which between them had millions of employees. The ministry was responsible for several centralized departments, such as electrification, which applied to all subsidiaries.
Prior to 1946, the ministry was known as the Peoples Commissariat for Railways, although the term Ministry of Railways had been used by the pre-Soviet ministry founded in 1865.
