Mikhail Ivanovich Rodionov (Russian: Михаи́л Ива́нович Родио́нов; 25 October [O.S. 12 October] 1907 – 1 October 1950) was a Soviet-Russian statesman who, from 1946 to 1949, was the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Russian SFSR.[1] He was purged during the 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 with a hammer and sickle in the middle.[citation needed] Together with Nikolai Voznesensky, he was sentenced to death in 1950 based on accusations of embezzlement from the Soviet State budget for "unapproved business in Leningrad", which was labeled anti-Soviet treason, at the Leningrad Affair case.[2] He was a close companion of Alexei Kosygin.[citation needed]
