THE FORMATION OF STALIN’S CONCEPT OF BUILDING A COMMUNIST SOCIETY IN THE USSR IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 1930S

The Aim of this work is to study the concept of building a Communist society in the USSR in the second half of the 1930s, the main terms of which were formed under the influence of direct instructions of I.V. Stalin. Professor D. Brandenberger of the University of Richmond and Professor P. Gregory of the University of Houston discussed in their works scientific problems close to this topic. Professor Gregory in his research considers how the instructions of I.V. Stalin was developing a draft of the new program of the VKP(b) and the draft General economic plan, designed to build a Communist society in the USSR for 15 years. The documents analyzed in the paper reveal the essence of the ideas from which the top leadership of the USSR proceeded in the implementation of its policy. It is concluded that the adoption and implementation of these documents in practice prevented the Great Patriotic war, so the question of the possibility of Communist construction in the USSR was raised again only in the second half of the 1940s.As the next steps for the development of this scientific problem can be called clarification of the specific reasons for the refusal to adopt a new program of the VKP(b) at the XVIII party Congress and a detailed analysis of the economic proportions written in the General economic plan. The work is useful for specialists in the modern history of Russia.
