Ivan Khokhlov

In 1931–34 in the financial department of Moscow Oblast, 1934–37 — chairman of the Ramensky District executive committee.

Due to the prolonged absence of Khokhlov, from 5 May 1942 his deputy Konstantin Pamfilov was the acting chairman of the Council of People's Commissars.

Khokhlov's absence in Moscow was caused by his membership in the Military Council of Western Front.
