metadata.value: The article, on the basis of the materials of the archival funds of the Ministry of State Control of the
  USSR, the Party Control Commission of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the Secretariat and the Politburo, is
  dedicated to the unknown aspects of the “Azerbaijan affair” and political processes in the Central Committee of
  the CPSU in the summer of 1948. The “Azerbaijan affair” was an investigation of abuses of senior officials of the
  Azerbaijan SSR. The revision of the government of the Azerbaijan SSR was approved by the Council of Ministers
  of the USSR and personally by Stalin. The development of events from January to July 1948 became threatening
  for the republic’s nomenklatura. The audit took place on a large scale; its conclusions could lead to serious
  personnel changes in the republic and even criminal cases. Based on the analysis of the archival materials of the
  Party Control Commission and the Central Committee of the CPSU on the case of the Deputy Chairman of the
  Council of Ministers of the Azerbaijan SSR Azizbekov it is possible to conclude that the attitude of the Party leadership
  towards this affair changed in July 1948. The decision of the Party Control Commission’s Bureau to exclude
  Azizbekov from the Party was withdrawn from Protocol of the Commission and adopted in a new edition after
  another number, date and with another resolution (instead of the exception from the Party Azizbekov received a
  severe reprimand). July 21, 1948, the Politburo Commission was formed, which included the first secretary of the
  Communist Party of Azerbaijan M. D. Bagirov. Conclusions of the Commission, rehabilitating Azerbaijan leaders,
  condemned the course of the audit and entailed resignations in the Ministry of State Control, were approved by
  the Politburo. It can be assumed that a sharp turn in the “Azerbaijan affair” is connected with the regrouping of
  forces inside the Central Committee.
