History

The People's Commissariat was formed from two independent People's Commissariats (for Military and for Naval Affairs of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic). Abolished in connection with the formation of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union.[1]

People's Commissars

The People's Commissariat was headed by the People's Commissar; at various times in this position were:

gollark: You don't need to be drunk to introduce bugs in a decade-old probably horribly interrelated codebase!
gollark: i.e. quite a few
gollark: I have aeons unto eternity.
gollark: I *should* have one, given that I've ended up getting up at 1am (time zone confusion), but I can barely get to sleep anyway most of the time.
gollark: Maybe one day TJ09 will refactor it, and the bugs will finally depart, partially.
