metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The research is based on briefing papers and other reporting documents prepared during 1943–
  1944 by the Cadres department of the Leningrad City Committee of the ACP(b) for the Cadres Department of the
  Central Committee of the Party. It contains information on the senior leaders of besieged Leningrad, who were
  on the nomenclature lists of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks. These lists
  included heads of organizations and enterprises that were considered the most important for the country. Briefing
  papers and reports contain information about the personal composition of managers, their education, age,
  previous jobs. Based on the analysis of these documents, the article concludes that during the Great Patriotic
  War, the cadres of Leningrad leaders consisted entirely of local officials. During the period of 1941–1944 less than
  half of the posts included in the nomenclature of the Central Committee for Leningrad were occupied by workers
  who were sent from other regions. Most of the leaders of the party and Soviet apparatus held their positions from
  the pre-war period throughout the entire period of the Siege. Cadre appointments were approved by heads of the
  Leningrad city committee, while the second secretary of the city committee A. A. Kuznetsov played the main part
  in this process. This policy led to the formation of a stable group of “Siege officials”, which remained in leadership
  positions in Leningrad until the start of purges in 1949–1950. Most of the Siege leaders belonged to the same
  age group (30–40 years old), about half of them had a higher, most often engineering, education. The article also
  discusses some typical cases of dismissal of executives from their positions. The author shows that during the
  Siege, such punishments were used by the local party leaders, and not by the initiative of the central authorities.
