On the reorganization of the apparatus of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b).

( Approved by the Politburo on May 5, 1930 ).

I.

The need to reorganize the Central Committee apparatus, and in the future not only the Central Committee apparatus, but also the apparatus of local party organizations, is caused, first of all, by the extreme complication of the tasks of the party leadership, the diversified branches of state, economic, party, mass and professional work. The task of selecting and training personnel for all branches of activity has been posed by the Party in all its acuteness as a decisive task. Along with this, the deployment of the creative initiative of the masses leads to the development of new forms and methods of work on the ground. It is necessary to reorganize the apparatus of the Central Committee in such a way that it successfully tackles new complex tasks, especially the task of selecting and training personnel. Having simplified and reduced the apparatus, it is necessary to differentiate it more according to its functional characteristics.

II.

1 . Orgraspred . Organizational distribution system combines the selection and distribution of all personnel in all branches and all the leadership of organizational and party work, communication with localities and the development of problems of party building. It is quite clear that with the current complexity of the work, it is necessary to split the Organizational Distribution Department into two independent departments:

a) to the organizational and instructor department, which would be in charge of all organizational and party work, instructions and current communication with the places and to which the current information department should be attached, and

b) the department for the distribution of administrative and economic and trade union personnel.

The distribution of cadres of workers in those areas of work that are in charge of other relevant departments of the Central Committee is transferred to these departments, for example, the cadres of the party apparatus (secretaries, zavorgs, head of the APPO, etc.) are transferred to the organizational department, cadres for propaganda, press, editing, educational cadres transferred to the department of propaganda and culture, etc.

2 . Agitprop . The current Agitprop brings together mass agitation and mass campaigns, leadership in all cultural processes and public education, leadership in the press, propaganda and party education. It is quite clear that under the conditions of the cultural revolution, with the gigantic scope of cultural construction on the one hand, and the deployment of mass campaigns on the other, the current agitprop must be divided into two independent sections:

a) the department of culture and propaganda , which will be in charge of the management of all processes of cultural development of the country, public education, the press, propaganda and education of party members, the same department of culture and propaganda selects and distributes personnel through public education, various other cultural institutions, the press , universities, etc. and

b) the department of agitation and mass campaigns , which organizes and directs all mass campaigns, both short-term and designed for a longer period, for example, various re-election campaigns (Soviet, professional, etc.), social competition, collective agreement campaign, cost reduction, labor productivity, collectivization, grain procurement. The same department oversees the activities of various kinds of voluntary societies and selects personnel for them.

3 . Village work department... At the present time, it can be abolished so that work in the countryside can be directed by the appropriate departments of the Central Committee of the Party: through the internal party organizational instructors, through mass campaigns - by the department of agitation and mass campaigns, etc. new conditions prevailing in the current period lead us. The developed collective farm movement, the organization of state farms; strengthening ties with the countryside in connection with two grain procurement campaigns and sending a large number of workers to the village, establishing new forms of communication with the village through work brigades, improving the work of patronage societies so strengthened our organizational capabilities in the village itself and linked work in the city and in the countryside that there is no need to divide all Party work into work in the city and in the countryside, all the more so that the existing department for work in the countryside was to a certain extent in an inter-paper state: it played either the role of a pusher, pushing all other departments to increase their attention, work in the countryside, or he himself took on a number of specific village issues. Since until recently there was no union body for agriculture, the department for work in the countryside was supposed to combine, as it were, the experience of the various union republics in the area of ​​agriculture in the implementation of Party directives on agriculture. But now, with the creation of the Union People's Commissariat for Land, this role is no longer for him. That is why the Department for Work in the Village can be liquidated without prejudice to the village. pushing all other departments to increase attention, work in the countryside, or he himself took up the solution of a number of specific village issues.

4 . On the women's department . In view of the fact that work among women is acquiring the greatest importance in the present period, it must be carried out by all departments of the Central Committee, and in a specific form must continue, mainly from the point of view of the successful implementation of those mass campaigns that the party organizes in the city and in the countryside. Therefore, to reorganize the women's department into the women's sector of the department of agitation and mass campaigns, at the same time to have a special deputy for women's personnel in the distribution department.

4) The entire reorganization of the apparatus should not lead to the expansion of the apparatus, but on the contrary it must be reduced (instead of 8 departments 7). In accordance with the reorganization, new staffs must be redistributed and established among the departments of the Central Committee, and during the reorganization, it is necessary to completely free the departments from the technical office apparatus, completing the creation of a single technical office apparatus of the Central Committee.
