This study demonstrates that the full time party officials of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) used the term "party
leadership" to both disguise and signal their efforts to lead the
Communists who manned the Soviet state. In 1946, Stalin had made
the newly formed Council of Ministers of the USSR, led by its
Bureau (Presidium) directly responsible for planning and
administering the Soviet economy. As a result, the full time
officials clashed constantly and publicly over the relative
importance of their direct intervention in production as opposed to
ideological education and personnel management in their efforts to
provide "party leadership" of the state from 1946 until 1964.
Zhdanov and Malenkov clashed over the issue until Zhdanov's death
in 1948 and Malenkov clashed with Khrushchev over the same issue
from 1949 until Stalin's death in 1953. This conflict became more
explicit once Malenkov was named Chairman of the Council of
Ministers and Khrushchev first secretary of the CC/CPSU in 1953 and
continued until Malenkov's ouster in 1955. Khrushchev clashed with
Chairman Bulganin over the same issue from 1955 until 1958.
Khrushchev's decision to replace Bulganin as Chairman of the
Council of Ministers not only complicated the discussion of party
officials' role but led to a series of extremely contradictory
reforms. Khrushchev simultaneously bolstered party officials'
capacity to intervene directly in industrial production and
strengthened the Council of Ministers' control over the same
process. The ensuring administrative confusion, when coupled with
Khrushchev's overt disdain for the ideological education of
Communists helped to undermine his authority and led to the
decision of his colleagues to oust him in 1964.
