Alexei Kosygin was an important statesman of Soviet-Russia during the cold war. As part of his evacuation process of civilians from Leningrad, he developed his famous “Road of Life”, an ice transport route which also included several roads and underwater pipelines and power-lines. This route played a crucial role to provide food, ammunition and fuel to the civilians as well as defenders of Leningrad, encircled by the Nazi armed forces and the Finnish Army. The credit of evacuating more than one and a half million civilians at that time goes to him. Moreover, his intelligent effort saved major industries for their timely evacuation. For this contribution, he received the Order of Red Star. Rising up in the Soviet hierarchy, he became the Minister of Finance and later acted as the Minister of Light Industry. After Stalin’s death in 1953, he was appointed to the position of the First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministries. To improve the condition of Soviet industry, he introduced “Kosygin reform”. He believed that decentralisation, semi-public companies and cooperatives can promote growth and profit in industry. But he had to face opposition for the failure of his reform. In later years of his life, he remained busy in improving the economic administration of his country through modifications of targets. Besides this, he worked for the improvement of food security and ensured the future intensification of production.
