What's going on with reverts and re-reverts on this article? I could not even understand what the point of contention is, but you guys really need to discuss the issue here, at this talk page, rather than working you way towards edit warring blocks. Nsk92 ( talk) 17:39, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't Chairman of the Council of Ministers be the correct English title of this article? RicJac ( talk) 18:29, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
It would nice if the opening paragraph of this article clearly explained the differences between Premier and General Secretary. As it is, both articles basically state that two positions represent the head of state, which strikes me as misleading. I understand that these differences changed over time, which is precisely what I'm trying to get a handle on. Maury Markowitz ( talk) 14:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

In the era of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union from 1938 to 1989, I'm confused the various different pages on the organs of government during this time. The article for the Supreme Soviet lists the Chairmen of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the Presidium being the permanent body when the Supreme Soviet wasn't in session. The article on the Presidium mentions that the Chairman was often seen as the Head of State (and the body as the collective head of state), by whom, I'm not sure.
What I'm confused of, however, is how the Premier of the Soviet Union/Chairman of the Council of Ministers related to the Supreme Soviet and it's Presidium? This article doesn't really cover most of this period skipping to the 1977 constitution. Most importantly, it doesn't really mention who elected the Council of Ministers, whereas it's plainly stated on the other articles who elected the Supreme Soviet and that the Supreme Soviet then elected the Presidium to represent it (BTW, did Presidium members have to be members of the Supreme Soviet?).
So, who elected the Council of Ministers? Did they have to be members of the Supreme Soviet? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 09:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
Proposing to merge Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union and Premier of the Soviet Union as these pages concern the same thing, per WP:REDUNDANT. Chairman was used 1946–1991, while most English sources used Premier. The Powers section might be relevant for this page. Skjoldbro ( talk) 06:46, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
