Membership card Communist Party doc military Russian war commander Original

Description

Original document of the military commander of the communist of the Soviet Union.
A party ticket (party card) is an internal party registration document certifying the party affiliation of its owner, who has the right to vote when voting within the party. The Ministry of Justice has not established a single requirement for a party document for registered parties.
In the Soviet Union, due to the presence of a one-party system, the CPSU party card was the main document along with the USSR Passport. In 1917, the Communists began to receive the first party tickets. The sample of the party ticket was developed by the St. Petersburg Committee. The original of the party card No. 1 was kept in Moscow in the Central Order of Lenin State Museum of the Revolution of the USSR — it is a reddish thin cardboard measuring 10.5 x 16.5 cm, bent in half. These were numbered party tickets, first of a member of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) (RCP (b)), and then of the CPSU.
For admission to the party, it was necessary to pass certain stages. And one of them was enrollment as a candidate member of the CPSU. At the same time, a candidate card of the CPSU was issued, which was a certificate with a photo and data on the candidate.
The candidate's term was one year, then the candidate was accepted at a party meeting as a member of the CPSU, this decision was considered at the Bureau of the district committee or the city committee of the party. A party member was issued a party ticket. Admission to the party and the initial presentation of the party ticket usually took place in a solemn atmosphere and was timed to coincide with major public holidays. The re-awarding of the party card also occurred in cases when a former member of the party was reinstated in the party.
Over time, " the party card, which previously contained information about a party member, was simplified, with a reduction of unnecessary data for the party card, but this information was expanded in personal files, on the basis of which personal accounting of responsible employees was established and gradually introduced."
The status of this document in the USSR is difficult to overestimate. For its careless storage and loss, severe sanctions could follow, up to expulsion from the party. The condition of a person who lost this important document is shown in the feature film " Party Ticket "(a joke appeared much later: "At the international horror film Festival, the Soviet tape" Loss of a party card "received the Grand Prix"). For responsible and party workers, the loss of a party card was much more significant than the loss of a passport. The lost party documents were considered invalid from the moment of loss and were subject to replacement with the appropriate decision of the party bodies.
The exclusion from the party was accompanied by the withdrawal of this document, and the catch phrase "you will put your party card on the table", which can be found in the fiction of those years and cinematic films, sounded quite menacing. "You can put your party card on the table!" is one of the most terrible curses of the Soviet times.
Still, a man is an amazing creature: I firmly knew that my life was on the line, that if they didn't kill me while trying to escape, they would still kill me on the way, since I could hardly walk along with the others from severe blood loss, but when the search was over and my party card remained with me, I was so happy that I even forgot about thirst! (Mikhail Sholokhov. "The Science of Hate", 1942)
During the Great Patriotic War, the preservation of the party ticket for soldiers who left the encirclement or retreated separately under enemy pressure was an important condition for maintaining the confidence of the NKVD bodies. In the event of the death of a serviceman, his party ticket was subject to return to the relevant party bodies.
Over the years of the CPSU's existence, more than one sample of the party card has been replaced and party tickets have been exchanged several times. Outdated samples lost their power at the same time. For the Union republics, their own samples were produced, where some designations were duplicated in their native language.
"On March 1, 1973, the exchange of party documents began in our country. According to established tradition, the party card number one was issued in the Central Committee of the CPSU in the name of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the founder and leader of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, Comrade L. I. Brezhnev, signed the Lenin party ticket."
The party card No. 2 was issued to L. I. Brezhnev.
After the ban of the CPSU and the introduction of a multi-party system, party and membership cards began to look like a certificate without a column of membership fees.
