History

The All-Union People's Commissariat of Non-ferrous Metallurgy was formed by ukase of the Presidium Supreme Soviet USSR, on 24 January 1939, following subdivision of the All-Union People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry into six separate commissariats.^[1]

The following enterprises were placed under the jurisdiction of the People's Commissariat of Non-ferrous Metallurgy; copper-mining and copper-Smelting industries, zinc-industry enterprises, lead-industry enterprises, aluminum-industry enterprises, nickel-industry enterprises, gold- and platinum-industry enterprises, rare-metals, and tin-industry enterprises, enterprises for processing non-ferrous metals, and enterprises for procuring, processing, and distributing non-ferrous-metal scrap.^[1]

In June 1939, the Main Administration of Food Supply for Workers of the Gold and Platinum Industry (Glavzolotoprodsnab) was established, with a number of regional offices placed under this administration. On 15 March 1946, all People's Commissariats were changed into ministries by decree of the Supreme Soviet USSR.^[1]
