General overview
The Council of People's Commissars was created on January 29, 1919 after Leonid Pyatakov was unable to find compromise with members of his government (Temporary Workers-Peasants Government of Ukraine). There was a political struggle between Pyatakov and Fyodor Sergeyev. To solve the issue to Ukraine was sent Christian Rakovsky who was appointed the new head of the Soviet government of Ukraine.
The initial composition of the council was based on the previous temporary government and consisted of 13 commissariats, the Council of National Economy, and the Supreme Socialist Inspection. Among its members were Antonov-Ovsiyenko, Bubnov, Voroshylov, Zharko, Zatonsky, Kotsyubynsky, Kviring, Magidov, Mezhlauk, Podvoisky, Rukhymovich, Sergeyev, Shlikhter, and others.
