All-Russian Council for Workers' Control

The All-Russian Council for Workers' Control (Russian: Всероссийский совет рабочего контроля) was established by the Bolsheviks shortly after their seizure of power in 1917. It held two meetings on 28 November and 5 December 1917.[1] At this second meeting it was dissolved into the Supreme Soviet of the National Economy (Vesenkha).[1] It was composed of representatives of various state and labour organisations such as the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the All-Russian Council of Trade Unions, the All-Russian Council of Factory Committees.[1] It played a key role in determining the extent to which workers' control became a feature of the socio-economic make up of Russian society in the wake of the Russian Revolution.[2]
