PARTY-STATE NOMENCLATURE AND INDUSTRIAL MODERNIZATION OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 1920S (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE NORTH CAUCASUS)

The article examines the process of functioning of the party-state nomenclature of the Soviet administrative apparatus during the modernization of the national economy. In this paper, based on the decisions of party congresses and the activities of the central committee of the CPSU (b), the process of forming the legislative framework for the successful industrialization of the national economy of the USSR is analyzed. Based on the study of party documents in the period under study, we observe the confrontation of the general policy of the CPSU (b) with the opposition at all levels of the party-state administrative apparatus, both in the center and on the ground. On the basis of archival documents, mechanisms and tools for the implementation of industrial modernization of the North Caucasus Region by the party-state nomenclature are presented. The North Caucasus region was an integral part of a large Soviet state and all the processes that took place in the country were reflected in the South of the country. However, the North Caucasus Region had a number of specific features connected with the modernization of the region. As a rule, these areas were predominantly agrarian, with poorly developed industry, a small working class, and a low cultural level of the population.
The specifics of the functioning of the local party-state administrative apparatus are revealed. The system of training the administrative apparatus within the framework of the Soviet political system has been studied, where the control bodies of the cc and RC (control commission and Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspection) purged the state apparatus of anti-Soviet elements, but the party congress indicates the participation of RC bodies in regulating the issue of promotion - the task of selecting employees in the party-state management system. Since it is the representatives of the party-state apparatus who will implement the decisions of the central government on the ground, therefore, the personnel issue had one of the highest priority values. It was precisely such tools for the selection of managerial personnel as appointment and promotion that allowed the Soviet political system to attract fresh personnel forces from the grassroots and form the party-state nomenclature on the ground. It was the personnel policy of the CPSU (b) on the formation of a new party-state asset and the activities of the partystate nomenclature that became the key to the successful industrialization of the North Caucasus Region.
