Nonna Aleksandrovna Muravyova (Russian: Нонна Александровна Муравьёва; August 13, 1906 – January 2, 1986) was a Soviet state, party and public figure. She served as Minister of Social Security of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1952–1961) and Chairman of the Central Auditing Commission of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1961–1966).^[1]

Early career

She was born into a working-class family.^[1]

In 1920–1923, she worked at a dyeing and finishing factory in Kamenka. Here she joined the Russian Communist Youth Union, in 1923–1926 – at a linen factory in Novopistsovo.^[2]

Here she plunges headlong into the seething social life characteristic of the youth of the Russian Communist Youth Union of the 1920s: she participates in meetings, Sunday work, a sports club, and in the oral newspaper Blue Blouse. Together with her peers, she more than once went with amateur concerts to the sponsored villages of Afonovo, Nasakino, Oltuhovo, etc. Nonna becomes a pioneer leader – one of the first in the Vichuga Region. It was at this time that her remarkable organizational abilities began to manifest.
