Party organizations of the RCP(b)–the CPSU(b) of the South-East of Russia in the 1920s: organizational and personnel potential

Introduction. The relevance of the topic under consideration is due to the fact that the experience of training, education, and formation of the personnel potential of the government in the context of the reforms of the 1920s is in demand in modern Russia. It allows, with the reference to historical experience, identifying the main priority areas in the training of managers who are able to work and make decisions in conditions of limited resources. The purpose of the article is to analyze the state of party organizations in the regions of the North Caucasus, which in the 1920s were the only sources of formation of the personnel potential of the Soviet government. The success of the reforms depended on their qualitative composition, namely on the level of literacy and managerial experience.
Materials and Methods. The research is based on the principles of objectivity, determinism, historicism and a systematic approach. Historical-systemic and comparative-historical methods were used.
Analysis. After the victory of the Bolsheviks in the civil war, the highest political leadership of Soviet Russia developed a stable concept of the possibility of building socialism with the active use of militarycommunist methods. Their practical application led to another branch of confrontation in society, which ended with a temporary compromise with the peasantry and the beginning of the implementation of economic and political reforms, which went down in history as a new economic policy, and then socialist modernization. In the course of the reforms initiated, the government of the country and the RCP(b)–VKP(b) faced a serious problem of a shortage of trained managerial personnel for both the economy and the political system. The primary, regional organizations of the RCP(b)–VKP(b) in the field became the main source of personnel replenishment. However, their potential at the regional level was limited, the members of the Communist Party were not always prepared for the professional performance of their duties, which constantly formed a conflict in society.
Results. In the course of the study, the authors came to the conclusion that the personnel policy of the Bolsheviks, based on the principles of one-party rule and the priority of communist representation in all organs and levels of government, hindered the successful implementation of reforms, contributing to the development of corruption, the growth of malfeasance and privileges.
