The genealogy of bureaucratism in history of the soviet komsomol
Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of Komsomolґs regeneration from independent organization to State machinery within the Soviet period. The author has proved, that bureaucratism grew in Komsomol circles from year to year and leaders of the organization reported about it during congresses. Even «the easy cavalry» has not solved this problem. M.N. Novikov has come to conclusion, that the raised salaries, additional rations, personal automobiles and other privileges, and also replacement of an elective principle by «the biographical approach», have transformed workers of Komsomol into executors of orders from supreme power, and L.Y.C.L.S.U to the economic organization.
