THE RESOLUTION OF THE THIRTEENTH CONFERENCE -May 14, 1924

From THE RESOLUTION OF THE THIRTEENTH CONFERENCE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY (BOLSHEVIKS) OF BYELORUSSIA ON THE QUESTION OF PARTY ORGANISATION

May 14, 1924

1. Considerable successes have been scored during the past year in restoring the Republic’s entire economy, both in industry and agriculture.

The restoration of industry has been accompanied by an end to the declassing of the proletariat, by its numerical growth and by a rise of its material and cultural level.

The restoration of agriculture has led to the stratification of the peasantry expressed, on the one hand, in the resurgence of the stronger elements in the countryside and, on the other, in a considerable increase of the weak elements.

2. The economic growth of bourgeois and petty-bourgeois strata in town and countryside under the 
New Economic Policy is leading to increasing political activity by them, thereby creating the danger of these strata ideologically influencing the peasant and proletarian masses.

The growth of political activity in the bourgeois strata of town and countryside has led to the petty-bourgeois sentiments infecting our Party, this being confirmed by the Thirteenth All-Union Party Conference, which qualified the opposition as a petty-bourgeois deviation in our Party.

The Party must forestall the possibility of similar deviations arising in the future by a series of measures ensuring Party unity. Particular importance, therefore, attaches to measures aimed at making the composition of the Party membership socially homogeneous by increasing its proletarian 
nucleus.

This task must determine the main content of Party work in the immediate future.

3. The past year has again showed that the entire working class wholly and undividedly supports our Party.
