REORGANIZATION OF THE PARTY-SOVIET APPARATUS IN THE BSSR (1962–1964)

The article deals with the issues of reorganization of the party and Soviet apparatus of power and management in the BSSR on the basis of the production principle. It is noted that such a reorganization looks quite logical and is a continuation of previous managerial innovations – the creation of two relatively independent management structures of the most important spheres of economic activity — industry (Councils of National Economy) and agriculture (territorial production collective farm and state farm administrations). The separation of party and Soviet bodies according to the production principle completed the formation of a new managerial political and economic system. In this reorganization, one of the constitutive characteristics of the Soviet power and management model is clearly manifested – the fusion of the party and Soviet apparatuses, the orientation of the party organs to direct and concrete management of production. The short-term functioning of the new management system does not allow for a balanced assessment. The problems that arose during this short period are not seen as insurmountable – they could have been resolved within the framework of the existing planned centralized economy. In the BSSR (as in the RSFSR), they concerned primarily the service sector of the population and only slightly affected the management of industry and agriculture (in particular, the management of local industry by rural regional committees and regional executive committees). As solutions already in 1963 both purely organizational measures (changes in the structure of regional executive committees) and steps to expand the rights of local authorities and management (district and village Councils of Workers’ Deputies) were proposed.
