In 1921, the Council of People's Commissars of Soviet Russia established Gosplan-- the state planning commission. Gosplan instituted and operated a unified program for the Soviet economy that in turn coordinated various state-run economic departments. Gosplan had a central committee that handled the nation's economy and the economic objectives of the Communist Party. Every five years, Gosplan helped develop the nation's economic goals. Gosplan also had its own publishing department.
