 | | While party debates in the party congresses of the 1920s were stormy and intraparty democracy was still evident, by the 16th party congress (1929) Stalin established virtual supremacy. | | | The party gained a legal monopoly in the Soviet constitution of 1977 (other parties had been banned since 1921), but otherwise the period was one of stagnation after the failure of Khrushchev& reforms. | | | The second party congress (1903) in Brussels and London split into factions of Bolshevism and Menshevism. |

| | Nominally, the supreme body in the CPSU was the party congress, which usually met every five years and was attended by several thousand delegates. | | | The party congress nominally elected the 300 or so members of the Central Committee of the CPSU, which met at least twice a year to perform the work of the party in between congresses. | | | In 1990 the CPSU voted to surrender its constitutionally guaranteed monopoly of power, thereby permitting opposition parties to flourish legally in the Soviet Union. |

| | The exposed members of this organization were sentenced by the Military Collegium of the Supreme Soviet of the U.S.S.R. to the supreme penalty - to be shot. | | | At the Seventeenth Party Congress, Bukharin, Rykov and Tomsky made repentant speeches, praising the Party and extolling its achievements to the skies. | | | Speeches were also made at the Seventeenth Congress by the Trotskyites, Zinoviev and Kamenev, who lashed themselves extravagantly for their mistakes, and eulogized the Party no less extravagantly for its achievements. |

| | Stalin - Speech at the CC of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union |
| | Comrade Molotov has such deep respect for his wife, that no sooner have the CC or the Politburo made very many decisions on this or that question, that this decision immediately is conveyed to Molotov’s wife Zhemtchuzhina and all of her friends. | | | Voice From the Floor – We need to elect comrade Stalin as the General Secretary of the CC of the CPSU and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR. | | | Comrade Molotov is our Minister of Foreign Affairs, finding himself at a ‘slippery’ diplomatic reception, he gave an assurance to a British diplomat that the capitalists can start to publish bourgeois newspapers in our country. |
