Nikolai Alekseevich Voznesensky (Russian: Никола́й Алексе́евич Вознесе́нский, 1 December [O.S. 18 November] 1903 – 1 October 1950) was a Soviet politician and economic planner who oversaw the running of Gosplan (the USSR's State Planning Committee) during the German-Soviet War of 1941–1945. A protégé of Andrei Zhdanov, Voznesensky was appointed Deputy Premier in May 1940.[1] He became directly involved in the recovery of production associated with the evacuation of industry eastwards after the start of the war. His 1947 work The Economy of the USSR during World War II[2] (Russian: Военная экономика СССР в период Отечественной войны, lit. 'The war economy of the USSR in the time of the Patriotic War') records those years.

Following the war, Voznesensky was persecuted during the 1949–1950 Leningrad affair. In a secret trial, he was found guilty of treason, sentenced to death and executed immediately. The Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union rehabilitated him in 1954.[3]

Voznesensky was a close associate of Alexei Kosygin[4] and of Mikhail Rodionov.[5]
