what was the role of the gosplan?

Answer 1

Gosplan was the committee for economic planning in the Soviet Union. The word "Gosplan" is an ­abbreviation for Gosudarstvennyi Komitet po Planirovaniyu ( State Committee for Planning). One of its main duties was the creation of Five-Year Plans.

The organization was created on February 22, 1921 by the decree of the Sovnarkom of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic under the name "RSFSR State Planning Commission". The prototype of its work was GOELRO plan. With the creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, on August 21, 1923 the USSR State Planning Commission at the USSR Council of Labor and Defence was established. The abbreviation "Gosplan" has been in use since 1921.

Initially Gosplan had an advisory role. Its goal was coordination of the plans of Union republics and the creation of the common Union plan. Since 1925 Gosplan started creating common yearly all-economy plans, known under the name of "control numbers".

With the introduction of five year plans in 1928 Gosplan became primarily responsible for their creation and supervision according to the outlines set by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU, or The Party.)

In 1930 the Statistical Directorate was merged into the Gosplan, and on February 3, 1931 Gosplan was resubordinated to Sovnarkom.

In may 1955 Gosplan was split into two commissions: for perspective planning and for current planning: USSR Council of Ministers State Commission for Perspective Planning and USSR Council of Ministers Economical Commission for Current Planning of State Economy. The work of the latter one was based on the five-year plans delivered by Gosplan, with Gosplan planning for 10–15 years ahead.

Gosplan was headquartered at the same building which is now occupied by the Federation Council of Russia, in Moscow.
