Commissar
Commissar is an English language transliteration of an official title used in the Soviet Union and Russia from the time of Peter the Great. The title was used during the Provisional Government for regional heads of administration, but it is mostly associated with a number of Cheka and military functions in Bolshevik and Soviet government military forces during the Russian Civil War and with the later terms People's Commissar for government ministers and political commissar in the military. It is based on similar titles in a variety of languages most often attached to a criminal investigator in the police; they are usually translated as "commissioner".
Commissar
Commissar (or sometimes Kommissar) is an English transliteration of the Russian комиссáр (komissar), which means 'commissary'. In English, the transliteration commissar often refers specifically to the political commissars of Soviet and Eastern-bloc armies or to the people's commissars (effectively government ministers), while administrative officers are called commissaries. The Russian word комисса́р, from French commissaire, was used in Russia for both political and administrative officials. The title has been used in the Soviet Union and in Russia since the time of the emperor Peter the Great (r. 1682–1725).
