| Successor | Silayev's Government |
The Pavlov's Government (Russian: Правительство Павлова) was the last full-pledged and officially appointed government of the Soviet Union. As part of Gorbachev's restructuring reforms, "Perestroika", the government changed its name from the Council of Ministers to the Cabinet of Ministers.
The new Cabinet of Ministers was established on 26 December 1990, but the Law of the Soviet Union "About the Cabinet of Ministers of the Soviet Union" was adopted only on 20 March 1991.[1] Appointments to ministerial positions were carried out by a presidential decree starting from 14 January 1991.
Following the dismissal of Pavlov's Government on 28 August 1991, all members remained in office as acting officials until 26 November 1991, except the Premier-minister, Minister of Defense, Minister of Internal Affairs, and Chairman of the KGB.
