The exact wording of the decision of the C.E.C. speaks of “uniting all political education work” of the R.S.F.S.R.{153}

While unconditionally recognising the necessity of such a union, the Political Bureau of the C.C., R.C.P., first of all establishes that this union can be understood only in the sense of preserving, strengthening and extending not only the independence of the Party organisations, but also their leading, directing and predominant position in relation to all branches of work of the People’s Commissariat for Education without exception.

The implementation of the decision of the C.E.C. must be divided into two parts: immediately submit to the Council of People’s Commissars the union of those institutions which are precisely enumerated in the decision of the C.E.C.

Work out this draft tomorrow, October 29, with the participation of two members of the C.C., Bukharin and Preobrazhensky.

The second part of the task is to effect the further union of all parallel educational institutions in all People’s Commissariats and a particularly detailed elaboration of the organisational relations between the agitation and propaganda institutions of the R.C.P. and the educational institutions of the People’s Commissariat for Education which are subordinated to their guidance.

A report on this second part, with an exact list of all parallel institutions of all People’s Commissariats, is to be submitted to the Political Bureau by Comrades Preobrazhensky and Bukharin.
