Type: article
Abstract: The professional request for a scientific understanding of the historical experience of the Soviet era contributed to the revival of researchers' interest in the study of the political system of the Soviet Union, which is impossible to imagine without referring to the documentary heritage of the CPSU. Publication of the collection of documents “The Secretariat of the Central Committee of the CPSU. Working notes and minutes of meetings. 1968” continues the active work of the Russian State Archive of Modern History (RGANI) on the introduction into scientific circulation of documents of the 1960s — 1970s. The main goal that the compilers set when preparing the collection was to show the mechanism of state decision — making by one of the highest party bodies in the USSR on a unique set of historical sources, which are certainly working records and minutes of meetings of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the CPSU.
