 Politburo --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
The Politburo until July 1990 exercised supreme control over the Soviet government; in 1990 the Politburo was enlarged and was separated to a certain degree from control over the Soviet government.
Because the party secretariat planned the agenda, provided all documentation for debate, and transmitted Politburo decisions to the lower echelons, the general secretary of the Communist Party (Stalin) became the Politburo's most influential member.
(1881–1969), Soviet military and political leader, born in Verkhneye, Ukraine; head of state after death of Joseph Stalin; became member of Politburo 1926; marshal of the Soviet Union 1935; appointed to committee for state defense 1941; supervised establishment of Communist regime in Hungary 1945–47; chairman of Presidium of Supreme Soviet 1953–60.

 Politburo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Soviet Union for example, the General Secretary of the Communist Party did not necessarily hold a state office like president or prime minister to effectively control the system of government.
In theory the Party Congress elects a Central Committee which, in turn, elects a General Secretary.
A Politburo is the executive organization for a number of political parties, most notably for Communist Parties.

analogize it to a parliamentary system: The Party Congresses, meeting every two years until well into the 1920s, were the "electorate." They chose the Central Committee (a "parliament"), which in turn chose the Politburo (the Prime Minister and his cabinet).
Among other changes, the Eighth Party Congress created in March 1919 a "Politburo" of senior members, to be selected from the larger Central Committee, to act on matters too urgent for the full Central Committee.
Some, including N.S. Khrushchov, would later speculate that that Great Leader and Teacher intended the new members as a reserve, to replace older members marked for repression.

 CHINA: New Leaders Leave Mark by Making Politburo Accountable
BEIJING, Oct 15 (IPS) - In the first official test of its zeal for political reform, the new Chinese leadership of President Hu Jintao broke modest ground by making the previously untouchable Politburo of the Communist Party accountable for its work -- and approving constitutional amendments to reflect the changing fabric of Chinese society.
The Politburo, the 24-member powerful body of the ruling party, submitted a report on its performance for scrutiny to the larger, policymaking 356-member Central Committee.
In a break from the long-established tradition of secrecy and speculation surrounding the dealings of the higher ranks of the Communist Party, Hu Jintao this week presided over his first annual meeting of the Central Committee since he became party chief, by announcing beforehand what was on the agenda of the Oct. 11-14 meeting.

Asked on the wishes of the opposition to change the constitution, he said if the opposition parties can change the constitution legally that would be acceptable as it is a democratic process, but resorting to other ways that endanger the constitution would force the concerned government bodies to discharge their responsibilities by taking appropriate measures.
A great move was made in that game when the Chinese 'parliament's' law against Taiwanese independence was endorsed in Addis.
