The Central Committee of the 18th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) was in session from 1939 until 1952, and was replenished in 1941. It elected, at its 1st Plenary Session, the
Politburo, the
Secretariat, the
Orgburo and the
Party Control Commission.
Plenums
The CC was not a permanent institution. The CC was convened for 10
plenary sessions between the
18th Congress and the
19th Congress. When the CC was not in session, decision-making powers were transferred to inner bodies of the CC itself; the
Politburo,
Secretariat and
Orgburo (none of these bodies were permanent either, but convened to decide on crucial matters).[1]
