About Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union

The Central Executive Committee of the USSR, which may be abbreviated as the CEC, was the supreme governing body of the USSR in between sessions of the All-Union Congress of Soviets from 1922 to 1938. The Central Executive Committee elected the Presidium, which, like its parent body, was the delegated governing authority when the other was not in session. Although the Presidium had a group of collective chairmen from each republic, the chairman from the Russian SFSR was often recognized as first among equals and was considered as the ceremonial head of state of the USSR. The Central Executive Committee also elected the Council of People's Commissars which was its executive and administrative organ. The Central Executive Committee of the USSR was established in 1922 by the First All-Union Congress of Soviets, and was replaced by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet in 1938.
