Kosygin attempted to implement economic reforms to shift the emphasis in the Soviet economy from heavy industry and military production to light industry and the production of consumer goods. Brezhnev did not support this policy and stymied Kosygin's reforms.
The set of historically incorrect allegations.
After the Sino-Soviet border clash on March 2nd, 1969, tensions were high and Alexey Kosygin visited Beijing on his way back from attending Ho Chi Minh's funeral in Hanoi. He was able to reach a political solution and tensions cooled without further major border incidents. His efforts may have averted a major border war between the Soviet Union and the PRC, but there is no mention of this in the article. -- Adeptitus 00:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
At first I planned to write a full-blown GA review (with a fail verdict), but perhaps a word of advice here will be better.
The article contains some factual errors, suggesting that it needs sourcing to a proper biography, rather than general history books. Language needs a second pair of eyes, too. Example:
There some aspects of K's early bio that I think are absolutely necessary:

Kosygin was born in Petrograd, not Leningrad! St. Petersburg was renamed Petrograd then Leningrad, the St. Petersburg again. The error is silly because Lenin died in 1924 and Petrograd was renamed Leningrad after him. Sort of saying that George Washington lived in Washington, DC!

The article states: "On his funeral Kosygin was honored by his peers; Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov and future premier Nikolay Tikhonov laid three urns with his ashes in the Kremlin Wall." I don't think that what remained of Kosygin's body after cremation was put into THREE separate urns. Three men carrying ONE urn yes, but not one set of ashes divided into three portions.

Very thorough article, could even benefit from a bit of compression. The introduction section is way too long, but still short compared to the actual article...
No glaring faults, fixed a couple of red links; couldn't verify sources (books), but they seemed legit.

Since Kosygin was born before Russia switched to the Gregorian calendar on 14 February 1918, do you want to show his birth date in both new-style and old-style dates? Example: Constantin Stanislavski. -- Diannaa ( Talk) 00:07, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
The parents now given, such as Lenin, seem to be vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.194.200 ( talk) 10:40, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Is there are reason why he is not simply a "Soviet politician" in the first page? Beria is not a "Soviet-Georgian politician", Mikoyan is not a "Soviet-Armenian statesman"? It seems as though this should be change, hopefully this is the proper matter to bring this up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.32.142.106 ( talk) 05:16, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
Is there a particular reason Алексей is transliterated as Alexei and not Aleksei? There is no one letter in Russian that corresponds to English 'x'; instead, there are two, кс (ks). Should we not stick to the principle of letter by letter transliteration? Iain ( talk) 10:09, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Is the birthdate February 20 or February 21? The article is internally inconsistent - the infobox gives the 20th while the lead gives the 21st. I don't see any immediately accessible citations for that either way to verify it. I tripped over this when an editor removed this person from the listings at February 21 - once this is resolved please re-add the entry to the appropriate date (or ping me and I can take care of it).

This would need some clarification. I've seen a Czech documentary where an angry Kosygin was poertrayed as the most vehement Soviet opponent of Dubček. He probably took a personal grudge on Dubček going for too far and threating his own cautious reform initiatives. More sources are needed. Miacek (talk) 13:46, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
