Central Committee elected by the 18th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)

The 18th Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) was elected by the 18th Congress, and was in session from 1939 until 1941. It elected, at its 1st Plenary Session, the 18th Politburo, the 18th Secretariat, the 18th Orgburo and the 18th Party Control Commission of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks).

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]
