metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article uses primary sources not previously published, including draft minutes of the CPSU Central
  Committee Secretariat during the period 1966–1967. This primary source clearly demonstrates the practice of
  making the most important decisions in one of the most important bodies of the party apparatus during the formation of the practice of “collective leadership”. The article shows the place of the CPSU Central Committee Secretariat in the power structure of the USSR. Despite the brevity of notes, an analysis suggests several conclusions
  about the political and economic orientations of the country’s leaders in the early Brezhnev period. Speeches
  made during discussions of various issues demonstrate the desire of party leaders to move away from unjustified
  (in their opinion), reforms of the Khrushchev-era management apparatus and to focus instead on systematic
  changes aimed at strengthening the role of the party-state apparatus and improving the economy. The article
  also analyzes speeches by individual party leaders who most clearly expressed their position, such as L.I.Brezhnev, M.A.Suslov, D.F.Ustinov, and A.N.Shelepin. The article discusses the organization of the activities of the
  Secretariat of the CPSU Central Committee: the composition of participants in meetings, the distribution of responsibilities between them, the procedure for preparing agenda items for meetings of departments of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the practice of discussions, and attempts to streamline the work of the Secretariat.
