He was a reformist of the country’s economy by decentralizing the planning system and strengthening the independence of Russian enterprises. Aleksey Kosygin made a lot for reforming the economy in the needs of the front during the Great Patriotic War. Kosygin was awarded twice the Order of the Hero  of Socialist Labour. He was also decorated with six Orders of Lenin and by the Orders of October Revolution and Red Banner.
