Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Russian Council of Ministers is an executive governmental body that brings together the principal officers of the Executive Branch of the Russian government. The Ministries and the Committee of Ministers (¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿) were created in the early 1800s as part of the Government reform of Alexander I. The Committee was an advisory board for the Emperor but could only consider matters referred to it by the monarch or when details for implementation of policy were brought to it by ministers. However, the Committee had little collective power and did not make decisions, just recommendations. When the monarch presided personally over Committee meetings it was referred to as a council as the monarch had decision/policy making authority that the committee did not possess.
