Mikhail Ivanovich Rodionov (Russian: Михаи́л Ива́нович Родио́нов; 25 October [O.S. 12 October] 1907 – 1 October 1950) was a Soviet-Russian statesman who was from 1946 to 1949 the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Russian SFSR, literally meaning Premier or Prime Minister.[1] He was purged during Leningrad affair.
He created a proposal for a new state flag of the RSFSR, but it was rejected. It consisted of a traditional Russian tricolour flag at and a hammer and sickle in the middle. Together with Nikolai Voznesensky, he was sentenced to death in 1950 based on false accusations of embezzlement of the Soviet State budget for "unapproved business in Leningrad", which was labeled as anti-Soviet treason, at the Leningrad Affair case.[2] He was a close companion of Alexei Kosygin.
