THE BREZHNEV ERA THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE DECREE OF THE CC OF CYPRUS ON MAY 21, 1980

Abstract

In the article the characteristics of the Soviet epoch of «stagnation» (formalism, populism, demagoguery, domination ideological into social and political spheres) are explored in the context of the Central Committee of Communist Party resolution from May 1980. These characteristics were expressed by negative trends (decline in production, low productivity etc.) that intervened the economy in the last years of Leonid Brezhnev (1964–1982). The author proves that the main cause of the resolution «On the state...» was the failure of the relevant institution objectives of the tenth five-year plan (1976–1980). As it is stated in the article, party and state leadership used unfounded criticism, which produced no effect. However, the author believes that the goal was to intensify somehow the activity of the bureaucratic machine and to mobilize all available forces aiming the restoration of law and order within the party and bureaucracy. But such actions weren’t successful.
