From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Central Committee (CC)
composition was elected by the
16th Congress
, and sat from 13 July 1930 until 10 February 1934. Its 1st Plenary Session elected the
Politburo
,
Secretariat
and
Orgburo
. The 16th Congress was the first party convention since the
13th Congress
which saw no organized opposition, and the first congress in party history in which there was no opposition to the party leadership.
Ukrainian historian
Oleg Khlevniuk
considers the period 1930?1934 to be a "transitional period" between
collective leadership
(referred to interchangeably by him as
oligarchy
) and
Joseph Stalin
's personal dictatorship (
autocracy
).
The removal of
Alexei Rykov
, the
Chairman
of the
Council of People's Commissars
(SNK, the Soviet government), from the Politburo at the 1st Joint Plenary Session of the CC and the
Central Control Commission
(CCC) has been marked in historic literature as "the definitive Stalinization of that body [Politburo]" according to Khlevniuk.
The Central Committee elected Stalin
General Secretary
of the
Central Committee
at its 1st Plenary Session.
Vyacheslav Molotov
served as Stalin's deputy, an informal post referred to by
Sovietologists
as Second Secretary, and was empowered to manage party business and sign Politburo resolutions when Stalin was away from Moscow.
Upon Molotov's appointment as SNK Chairman in December 1930,
Lazar Kaganovich
took his place as Second Secretary.
This Central Committee composition led the party and the country through the
first five-year plan
,
Syrtsov?Lominadze affair
,
dekulakization
,
collectivization of agriculture
,
Ryutin Affair
,
Soviet famine of 1932?33
(which has led to accusation of
"extermination by hunger"
by the Ukrainian state), the beginning of the
second five-year plan
, purges of the last oppositional elements within the party and heightened repression.
Plenums
[
edit
]
The Central Committee was not a permanent institution. It convened
plenary sessions
. Seven CC plenary sessions and two plenary sessions held in conjunction with the convening of the
Central Control Commission
were held between the
16th Congress
and the
17th Congress
. When the CC was not in session, decision-making power was vested in the internal bodies of the CC itself; that is, the
Politburo
,
Secretariat
and
Orgburo
. None of these bodies were permanent either; typically they convened several times a month.
Apparatus
[
edit
]
Individuals employed by the Central Committee's bureaus, departments and newspapers made up the apparatus between the
16th Congress
and the
17th Congress
.
The bureaus and departments were supervised by the Secretariat, and each secretary (member of the Secretariat) supervised a specific department.
The leaders of departments were officially referred to as Heads, while the titles of bureau leaders varied between chairman, first secretary and secretary.
