Re Theses of a Report at the Eighth All-Russia Congress of Soviets on Improving the Activities of the Soviet Authorities in Combating Bureaucratism
Source: Lenin Collected Works, 2nd English Printing, Progress Publishers, 1971, Moscow, Volume 42, page 229a.
On November 27, 1920, the Politbureau examined Zinoviev’s theses of a report, “On Improving the Activities of the Soviet Local and Central Authorities and on Combating Bureaucratism” for the forthcoming Eighth All-Russia Congress of Soviets. The Politbureau endorsed Lenin’s draft and set up a commission which was authorised to revise the theses. These, in their final wording, were published on December 14, 1920, in Pravda and Izvestia.
Theses to be revised rather radically, on all points, in the direction of a very big reduction in the pledges, which are extremely vague, obscure and excessive and the weight of emphasis to be placed on concrete, practical proposals realisable in a short time.
Supplementary to the theses, a draft resolution for the Eighth Congress of Soviets to be drawn up within a week.
