Based on archival sources, methods and technologies related to the involvement of workers to the work of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspectorate and the construction of the entire system of functioning of control departments are analyzed. It is also shown how such a practice was coordinated with the course of the CPSU (b) and the Soviet government, difficulties and contradictions that prevented the involvement of citizens in the management of the state in the face of growing internal party contradictions.
