Stalin's Government

How did the Politburo change?

1924

  • Met weekly


1930

  • Only surviving member of the group was Stalin
  • Everyone else knew not to challenge
  • Met only nine times a year
1936 Constitution
  • Appearance of democracy
  • Everyone can vote (kulaks and patients because they thought the classes no longer exists)
  • Guaranteed jobs (compared to great depression everywhere else)
  • Freedom of the press (in theory)
But...
  • Can only vote for chosen candidates
  • No need for political parties as there was no need
