metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article analyzes the formation of the official image of the Soviet authority from its establishment at
  the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies until the end of the 1920s when
  the NEP was basically over. The author grounds the study on the fact that the supreme authority directly controlled
  the completion of this task, but its composition and subordination during the studied period changed significantly
  due to the rise of emergency state bodies and the governing structures of the party to the highest echelon of
  power, as well as gradual occupation by Communist party’s bodies of dominant positions over the Soviet ones.
  The article shows what factors influenced the content and structure of the image of authority and how it changed.
  The author believes that three key factors shaped the image of Soviet authority the most: the theory of Marxism,
  mainly the doctrine of the dictatorship of the proletariat; the views of the Bolshevik political elite, primarily the
  leader of the Bolsheviks, V. I. Lenin and in the late 1920s, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the
  AUCP(b), I. V. Stalin; the objective international and domestic military-political and socio-economic situation in
  which Soviet Russia found itself. During the above period, the role of the first factor gradually decreased; the
  views of V. I. Lenin began to be praised in some ritual manner. In the second half of the 1920s, the pragmatic views
  of the Bolshevik elite became decisively important, which at first were diverse, but by the end of the decade were
  completely determined by I. V. Stalin, who identified himself as the successor of V. I. Lenin and the new leader of
  the party and the whole country. The author develops an idea that, due to the above reasons, the image of the
  Soviet authority was not stable.
