| | The position of general secretary of the CPSU, the party's highest office, was created in 1922; it became the most powerful political position in the USSR during the Stalinist period and remained so until 1991. | | | At the apex of the pyramid were the All-Union Congress, nominally the party's supreme policymaking body; the Central Committee, elected by the Congress; the Political Bureau (Politburo), chosen by the Central Committee; and the Secretariat. | | | In June 1989 the Supreme Soviet was reconstituted as a bicameral body of 542 deputies, elected to overlapping 5-year terms by the Congress of People's Deputies from among its own number; about 20 percent of the members' terms were scheduled to expire each year. |
