Ministry of Coal Industry

The Ministry of Coal Industry (Minugleprom; Russian: Министерство угольной промышленности СССР) was a government ministry in the Soviet Union.

A ukase of the Presidium Supreme Soviet USSR of 28 December 1948 created the all-union Ministry of the Coal Industry USSR by merging the Ministry of the Coal Industry of Western Regions USSR, the Ministry of the Coal Industry of Eastern Regions USSR, and the Ministry for Construction of Fuel Enterprises USSR.[1]

The coal industry had originally been part of the all-union People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry. A ukase of the Presidium, Supreme Soviet USSR of 24 January 1939 established the all-union People's Commissariat of Fuel Industry, which included the coal, shale and petroleum industries. A ukase of 12 October 1939 subdivided the all-union People's Commissariat of Fuel Industry into the all-union People's Commissariat of the Coal Industry USSR and the all-union People's Commissariat of Petroleum Industry USSR.[1]

The all-union People's Commissariat of the Coal Industry USSR was split by a 19 January 1946 ukase into the all union People's Commissariat of the Coal Industry of Western Regions USSR and the all-union People's Commissariat of the Coal industry of Eastern Regions USSR. A ukase of 28 January 1946 established the People's Commissariat for Construction of Fuel Enterprises USSR. The three commissariat 3 became ministries on 15 March 1946.[1]
