On May 4, 1935, Stalin uttered his famous phrase at the graduation of the red commanders: Cadres decide everything!

Comrades!

It cannot be denied that recently we have had great successes both in the field of construction and in the field of management. In this regard, we talk too much about the merits of leaders, about the merits of leaders. They are credited with everything, almost all of our achievements. This is, of course, false and wrong. It's not just the leaders. But this is not what I would like to talk about today. I would like to say a few words about the cadres, about our cadres in general and about the cadres of our Red Army in particular.

You know that we have inherited from the old times a technically backward and semi-impoverished, devastated country. Devastated by four years of imperialist war, devastated again by three years of civil war, a country with a semi-literate population, with low technology, with separate oases of industry, drowning in a sea of ​​the smallest peasant farms - such is the country we have inherited from the past.

The task was to transfer this country from the rails of the Middle Ages and darkness to the rails of modern industry and mechanized agriculture. The task, as you can see, is a serious and difficult one. The question was: EITHER we will solve this problem in the shortest possible time and strengthen socialism in our country, OR we will not solve it, and then our country - technically weak and culturally obscure - will lose its independence and turn into an object of the game of the imperialist powers.

Our country was then going through a period of severe famine in the field of technology. There were not enough machines for the industry. There were no machines for agriculture. There were no cars for transport. There was no that elementary technical base, without which the industrial transformation of the country is unthinkable. There were only separate prerequisites for creating such a base. It was necessary to create a first-class industry. It was necessary to direct this industry so that it would be able to reorganize technically not only industry, but also agriculture, but also our railway transport. And for this it was necessary to make sacrifices and introduce the most severe economy in everything, it was necessary to save on food, and on schools, and on manufacture, in order to accumulate the necessary funds for creating an industry. There was no other way to overcome the hunger in the field of technology. This is how Lenin taught us, and in this matter we followed in Lenin's footsteps.

It is clear that in such a big and difficult undertaking one could not expect continuous and quick successes. In such a case, success can be identified only after a few years. Therefore, it was necessary to arm ourselves with strong nerves, Bolshevik restraint and stubborn patience in order to overcome the first setbacks and steadily move forward towards the great goal, not allowing wavering and uncertainty in our ranks.

You know that we handled this case in exactly this way. But not all of our comrades had the nerve, patience and endurance. Among our comrades there were people who, after the first difficulties, began to call for a retreat. They say that "he who remembers the old is out of his sight." This is, of course, true. But a person has a memory, and one involuntarily recalls the past when summing up the results of our work. So, we had comrades who were afraid of difficulties and began to call the party to retreat. They said: “What do we need your industrialization and collectivization, machines, ferrous metallurgy, tractors, combines, automobiles? It would be better if we would give more manufactory, we would better buy more raw materials for the production of consumer goods and give the population more of all those little things that make people's life more beautiful. The creation of an industry in our backwardness, and even a first-class industry, is a dangerous dream.

Of course, we could use the 3 billion rubles of foreign currency that we obtained through the most severe economy and spent on creating our industry - we could use them to import raw materials and increase the production of consumer goods. This is also a kind of "plan". But with such a "plan" we would have neither metallurgy, nor mechanical engineering, nor tractors and automobiles, nor aviation and tanks. We would be unarmed before external enemies. We would undermine the foundations of socialism in our country. We would find ourselves in captivity of the bourgeoisie, internal and external.

Obviously, it was necessary to choose between two plans: between the plan of retreat, which led and could not but lead to the defeat of socialism, and the plan of attack, which led and, as you know, has already led to the victory of socialism in our country.

We chose a plan of attack and went forward along the Leninist path, wiping back these comrades as people who saw something under their noses, but turned a blind eye to the immediate future of our country, to the future of socialism in our country.

But these comrades did not always limit themselves to criticism and passive resistance. They threatened us with raising an uprising in the party against the Central Committee. Moreover, they threatened some of us with bullets. Apparently, they hoped to intimidate us and force us to deviate from the Leninist path. These people have obviously forgotten that we Bolsheviks are people of a special breed. They forgot that the Bolsheviks could not be intimidated by difficulties or threats. They forgot that we were forged by the great Lenin, our leader, our teacher, our father, who did not know and did not recognize fear in the struggle. They forgot that the more the enemies rage and the more the opponents within the Party fall into hysterics, the more the Bolsheviks heat up for a new struggle and the more rapidly they move forward.
It is clear that we did not even think of turning off the Leninist path. Moreover, having strengthened on this path, we moved forward even more rapidly, sweeping away any and all obstacles from the road. True, we had to crush the sides of some of these comrades along the way. But there's nothing you can do about it. I must confess that I also had a hand in this matter.

Yes, comrades, we have set out confidently and swiftly along the path of industrialization and collectivization of our country. And now this path can be considered already passed.
Now everyone recognizes that we have achieved tremendous success along this path. Now everyone admits that we already have a powerful and first-class industry, a powerful and mechanized agriculture, a transport that is expanding and going uphill, an organized and well-equipped Red Army.
This means that we have largely outlived the period of famine in the field of technology.

But having outlived the period of famine in the field of technology, we have entered a new period, a period, I would say, of a famine in the field of people, in the field of personnel, in the field of workers who are able to ride technology and move it forward. The fact is that we have factories, plants, collective farms, state farms, an army, we have equipment for all this work, but there are not enough people with sufficient experience necessary to squeeze the maximum out of equipment that can be squeezed out of it. . We used to say that "technique is everything". This slogan helped us in the sense that we eliminated the hunger in the field of technology and created the broadest technical base in all branches of activity to equip our people with first-class equipment. It is very good. But this is far and far from enough.
In order to set technology in motion and use it to the fullest, we need people who have mastered technology, we need cadres capable of mastering and using this technology in accordance with all the rules of art.

Technology without people who have mastered technology is dead. Technology, led by people who have mastered technology, can and must produce miracles. If our first-class plants and factories, our collective farms and state farms, our Red Army had a sufficient number of cadres capable of saddling this technique, our country would have three and four times more effect than it now has.

That is why the emphasis must now be placed on people, on cadres, on workers who have mastered technology.
That is why the old slogan "technology decides everything", which is a reflection of the past period when we had a famine in the field of technology, must now be replaced by a new slogan, the slogan that "cadres decide everything".
This is the main thing now.

Can it be said that our people have understood and fully realized the great significance of this new slogan? I wouldn't say that.
Otherwise, we would not have that ugly attitude towards people, towards cadres, towards workers, which we often observe in our practice.
The slogan "cadres decide everything" requires our leaders to show the most caring attitude towards our employees, "small" and "large", in whatever area they work, cultivate them carefully, help them when they need support, encourage them, when they show the first successes, pushed them forward, etc.

Meanwhile, in fact, in a number of cases we have facts of a callously bureaucratic and downright ugly attitude towards workers.
This, in fact, explains why instead of studying people and only after studying putting them on posts, people are often thrown around like pawns. We have learned to appreciate machines and report on how much equipment we have at plants and factories. But I do not know of a single case where they would report with the same willingness how many people we raised over such and such a period and how we helped people grow and become tempered in their work. What explains this? This is explained by the fact that we have not yet learned to value people, to value workers, to value cadres.

I recall an incident in Siberia, where I was at one time in exile. It was in the spring, during the flood. About thirty people went to the river to catch the forest, carried away by the raging huge river. By evening they returned to the village, but without one comrade. When asked where the thirtieth was, they indifferently replied that the thirtieth "stayed there." To my question: "How is it that you stayed?" - they answered with the same indifference: "What else is there to ask, drowned, therefore." And then one of them began to hurry somewhere, declaring that "we should go and water the mare."

To my reproach that they pity cattle more than people, one of them replied with the general approval of the rest: “Why should we pity them, people? We can always make people, but a mare ... try to make a mare ". Here is a touch, perhaps insignificant, but very characteristic. I think that indifferent attitude of some of our leaders towards people, towards cadres, and the inability to appreciate people is a relic of that strange attitude of people towards people, which showed itself in the episode just told in distant Siberia.

So, comrades, if we want to successfully overcome the hunger in the field of people and ensure that our country has a sufficient number of cadres capable of moving technology forward and putting it into action, we must first of all learn to value people, value cadres, value everyone. an employee who can contribute to our common cause. Finally, we must understand that of all the valuable capital available in the world, the most valuable and decisive capital is people, cadres.

H One must understand that under our present conditions "cadres decide everything."
We will have good and numerous cadres in industry, in agriculture, in transport, in the army, our country will be invincible.
We will not have such shots - we will limp on both legs.

Concluding my speech, allow me to proclaim a toast to the health and prosperity of our academic graduates in the Red Army! I wish them success in organizing and leading the defense of our country!

Comrades! You graduated from high school and received your first hardening there. But school is only a preparatory stage. The real tempering of cadres is obtained in live work, outside of school, in the struggle with difficulties, in overcoming difficulties. Remember, comrades, that only those cadres are good who are not afraid of difficulties, who do not hide from difficulties, but, on the contrary, go towards difficulties in order to overcome and eliminate them.
Only in the struggle against difficulties are real shots forged. And if our army has enough real hardened personnel, it will be invincible.

To your health, comrades!

"Cadres decide everything" - who said this phrase? Agree, stupid person. Because this is an absolute truth, since the word “cadres” meant professionals in their field. It is they who move our life forward, create, create the material goods that we use. Everything that exists in this world (not meaning the original) was created by them: scientists, engineers, craftsmen, workers.

What is frames?

Many people wonder who said: "Cadres decide everything." But does everyone know what kind of word this is - "cadres". Who is meant by it? This word has two meanings:

  • Military. In Ozhegov's dictionary, one can find a definition that cadres are the composition of regular military units. In Soviet times, a clarification was made, under military personnel they meant the list of privates and commanders of military units.
  • Civil. This understanding came in Soviet times, when this word denoted the list of qualified employees of enterprises and institutions. Each of them had personnel departments, which had certain responsibilities for accounting, making entries in work books. Personnel are different: workers, engineers (engineering and technical workers), AHP (administrative and economic personnel), managerial, scientific, managerial, and so on.

Currently, personnel is a composition that is part of the staff of an institution, company, firm. But, as in the Soviet Union, it is the color of the nation.

The role of personnel in the development of the country

For the first time, this phrase of Stalin “Cadres decide everything” was heard in May 1935 at the graduation of military academies, in his speech addressed to graduates. No wonder it immediately became a slogan. Now it would be called a brand, only not in the sense of a product or service, but in the sense of the goal. At that distant time, it was a slogan that had to be put into practice. That is, the task was set before all the people - to study.

What is so surprising about him that haunts many opponents of everything Soviet? A real working call to action. He outlined the goal to which it was necessary to move. It was its implementation that gave the Soviet Union the opportunity for an amazing leap in economic development, lasting from the 1950s to the 1980s, which brought the country to the ranks of world leaders.

Stalin's speech in May 1935

Some argue that Bismarck was the first to say the phrase "Cadres decide everything", someone is looking for other original speakers, naming other names. Maybe so, it's not so important. The main thing is that even if Bismarck said it, he was also the great chancellor of Germany, who knew what he was talking about.

Stalin in his speech emphasized that through many hardships, huge amounts of money were saved in the country. They could buy consumer goods, manufactory, as suggested by Stalin's opponents in the party, but it was decided to allocate this money to the development of engineering, metallurgy and the entire heavy industry as a whole. Machines, mechanisms, machine tools, tractors were purchased, everything that was not enough for the development of the country. All forces are thrown into industrialization. To manage them, specialists are needed, that is, skilled workers, engineers.

Stalin emphasized that one should not expect quick results in this matter, successes will be indicated later. certain time. But you need to wait for them, not stopping, but moving forward. You need to be patient, not giving up after the first setbacks, but moving on without hesitation and self-doubt. Having overcome the hunger in technology, the country faced a hunger in the field of people, cadres, workers capable of moving this technology, squeezing everything possible out of it.

Without people, it's safe to say that technology is dead. Technique with qualified personnel works wonders. Stalin devoted most of his speech to the issue of caring for people. He called the inability to appreciate people a relic of the past. It is the cadres that decide everything. Whoever said that without them it is possible to build socialism is mistaken.

Stalin also touched upon disagreements on this issue within the party, from which it can be assumed that the discussion on it was rather heated, and it came to threats to split the party. Time has shown that Stalin and his followers were right, since it was the industrialization carried out, the personnel that allowed the country to survive in the years Patriotic War and brought her the glory of a great power.

A bit of history

What preceded the proclamation of this slogan and what does the phrase “Cadres decide everything” mean? In his speech, Stalin gave an explanation for this. The Soviet Republic got a country that was in complete ruin. Russia in the first years of the twentieth century was still, in fact, in feudal relations. Capitalism was just getting started. The beginning of the century was marked for Russia by a shameful defeat in Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905. The reason for this was economic backwardness. 70% of the potential was made up of small backward peasant farms scattered throughout the country.

The Revolution of 1905 exposed the brutal exploitation of the workers, who were treated worse than American blacks on the plantations. Not having time to get stronger, Russia entered the First world war, which claimed the lives of millions of Russian citizens, ruining the west of Russia. The February Bourgeois Revolution of 1917 brought to power the Provisional Government, which consisted of the most mediocre and corrupt representatives of the liberal intelligentsia, who brought the country to the brink of disaster.

October Revolution of 1917, three years of civil war, intervention against Soviet Russia- all this has had a sad effect on the economic condition of the country. By 1920, she looked like a mortally wounded giant. She needed to be rebuilt. The leaders of the country were well aware that while Europe was at war, America was developing rapidly and had gone far ahead.

The goal is the industrialization of the country

Strange talk about the fact that tsarist Russia was a country with a developed economy is completely baseless. Yes, there were a handful of super-rich and just rich people in the country, close to the royal family, big capitalists, gold miners, grain merchants. The people of a prosperous country cannot be in such depressing conditions as were the Russian workers and peasants before the revolution.

Russia was a technically backward country with a nascent industry. Therefore, in Soviet Russia, a goal was set for industrialization and the slogan was put forward: "Technology decides everything." As a result of the most severe savings, funds were collected and tractors, machine tools, machines and mechanisms were purchased. But then an even more acute question arose: where to get specialists? "Cadres decide everything" - who was the first to say this phrase? The country first heard it from the lips of Stalin. A course was adopted for universal literacy.

Illiteracy eradication

How was it possible to get enough specialists if more than half of the population was simply illiterate?! This is the sad legacy of tsarist Russia. The second revolution began - the cultural one. The whole country sat down at their desks. Educational programs, workers' faculties, schools for working youth. It was their graduates who were to become the elite, the pride of Soviet and world science, technology, and literature.

Soviet generals and marshals, together with the people, led our army to the great Victory in World War II. Who said "Cadres decide everything"? Stalin. At the same time, he stressed that if we do not have them, then the country will begin to limp on two legs. If they are, then the country will be prosperous and it will become impossible to defeat it.

Attitude towards personnel during perestroika

"Cadres decide everything" - who said the phrase, it doesn't matter. It's a shame that not all the leaders of our country understood this. Gorbachev's policy in the mid-80s was aimed at combating the most valuable thing that was cherished and nurtured in the Soviet Union - qualified personnel. Little is said about this, but the entire perestroika began with a struggle against the leading cadres of enterprises, factories, plants, and institutions. Professionals who have come from the bottom and know the production inside and out were removed. They were accused of authoritarianism.

Instead, random people came, chosen at meetings, who did not correspond either in experience or in knowledge to the positions they held. Only those leaders who enjoyed authority were removed and took responsibility for the decisions made. Decapitated enterprises were easier to destroy and seize already in the early 90s.

Remember the attitude to the profession "engineer". It was at this time that they, the most qualified personnel, were treated with derision. It was a kind of stigma of failure. History does not forgive such mistakes. In our time, we are reaping the fruits of this policy. There is a shortage of qualified workers, mid-level specialists, engineering and technical workers. It is simply impossible to develop the economy without them.

Attitude towards personnel in Western countries

Any capitalist, owner of an enterprise knows the value of specialists. He will not specify who said "Cadres decide everything", he treats them with respect. He thinks so. Therefore, leading companies spend a lot of money on training their specialists. Will the owner allow the employees of his enterprise to choose their own leader? No, in this world everything is built on authoritarian relations, and no democracy. Knowledge, experience, authority has not been canceled. Their price in the West, in the same America, is very high. Therefore, the economic situation of these countries is much higher than in our country.

2nd Five-Year Plan: "Cadres who have mastered technology decide everything"

At the end of 1932, the successful and early completion of the first five-year plan was announced in four years and three months. The country was moving to a new stage in its development - the completion of socialist reconstruction National economy. The second five-year plan (1933-1937) was held under the slogan "Cadres who have mastered technology decide everything."

The expression “Cadres decide everything”, which has become an aphorism, was originally voiced in the speech of I.V. Stalin, delivered on May 4, 1935 to graduates of the military academies of the Red Army in the following context: “. We used to say that "technique is everything". This slogan helped us in the sense that we eliminated the hunger in the field of technology and created the broadest technical base in all branches of activity for arming our people with first-class equipment. It is very good. But this is far and far from enough. … Technique without people who have mastered the technique is dead. Technology, led by people who have mastered technology, can and must produce miracles. ... That is why the emphasis must now be placed on people, on cadres, on workers who have mastered technology. That is why the old slogan "technology decides everything", which is a reflection of the past period when we had a famine in the field of technology, must now be replaced by a new slogan, the slogan that "cadres decide everything". This is the main thing now" [Stalin,

Speech in the Kremlin Palace...]. In the newspaper Pravda, this speech was published on May 6, 1935, simultaneously with editorial article "Cadres decide everything!".

In connection with the new "slogan of the day", the accelerated training of personnel who have mastered the technique has become one of the most important tasks. According to the plan of the second five-year plan, the total number of students in higher educational institutions increased from 469.8 thousand in 1932 to 660.6 thousand in 1937, first of all, training engineering frames [Volkov, 1999].

On the other hand, during the period of the second five-year plan, the increase in the number of students was stopped. It grew in 1933-1938. only by 31% instead of 2.5 times during the years of the first five-year plan. Now the emphasis is on quality - both in university teaching and the quality of life of teachers and students.

In 1933, by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR "On degrees and titles” scientific degrees were established PhD and PhD, those. actually preserved pre-revolutionary system with the replacement of the scientific degree "Master" with the scientific degree "PhD". Recovery academic degrees, abolished in 1919, as well as dissertation defenses, was of great importance in improving the quality higher education in the USSR.

Work is underway to strengthen universities designed to train highly qualified specialists in general scientific disciplines and teachers. The geographical, chemical, geological and other natural science faculties, which were closed during the period of disaggregation of higher educational institutions, were restored in them. On September 1, 1934, the historical faculties of Moscow and Leningrad universities were restored.

The issues of improving the quality of training of specialists were particularly acute. The resolution of the Central Committee of the Party and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR dated June 23, 1936 "On the work of higher educational institutions and the management of higher education" stated that higher requirements should be imposed on universities to ensure the training of highly qualified, politically educated, comprehensively educated and cultural personnel.

In this regard, much work has been done to improve curricula and programs. It was aimed at improving the general scientific and general technical training of specialists, and bringing about a closer connection between training and production. Great importance was strongly condemned brigade-laboratory teaching methods and increasing the role of lectures, seminars, independent work students.

In 1937, the Decrees of the Government of the USSR "On Academic Degrees and Titles", "On the Introduction of Staff Positions and Official Salaries for the Faculty in Higher Education Institutions" were adopted. The scientific teaching load of the teaching staff was introduced and was used until 1956. The working time was for a professor - head of the department 540-600 hours per year, for a professor and associate professor - 660-780 hours, for a senior teacher, assistant, teacher - 720-840 hours. Overtime was paid based on the corresponding salary rate [Antonov, 2005].

Another manifestation of the emphasis on the quality of education was the elimination in the mid-30s of social discrimination in admission to universities and graduate school. Changed for the better and organization educational process, returning, in essence, to pre-revolutionary forms.

In 1940, the USSR had 42 students per 10,000 population, which exceeded similar figures in countries Western Europe 2-5 times; but before the United States (where this figure was 108 students) [Mironov, 2003, p. 384] was still far away... Culture is developing: by 1940, the number of libraries in the USSR was almost 7 times higher than the Russian level in 1913 [Ibid., p. 385]

During the years of the second five-year plan, the total maintenance costs high school in the line of the state budget increased from 1060 million rubles in 1933 to 2276 million rubles in 1937, i.e. more than 2 times. Serious attention is paid to the training of new personnel for higher education: postgraduate studies are running, and the number of postgraduate students is growing.

V.V. Antonov writes that in the 1940/41 academic year, 9,000 people were preparing to become teachers and researchers in Moscow alone. This coincides with the data of S.V. Volkov that just so many people entered graduate school three years ago, in 1938) [Volkov, 1999, pl. 27]. Wherein total number scientific workers in 1940 amounted to close to 100 thousand people [Ibid., pl. 28].

In general, during this period, the most negative sides the previous (first five-year plan) stage of development of higher education. On the other hand, in the 1930s, the place of higher education in the life of society was finally transformed. From the center of the science of education, universities in the USSR finally became, basically, only centers of education. Science was taken out of higher educational institutions into the system of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and the All-Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the USSR and the Union republics and branch institutes of departments.

At the same time, it should be recognized that the separation of science from higher education had detrimental consequences for higher education, since this led to a decline in the quality of education. True, this department, as G.I. Khanin (2008), was not total: best universities in the order of part-time, the best scientists were involved in teaching, but, nevertheless, - sporadically.

Bloody repressions of 1937-1938 reflected in higher education. But they, to a lesser extent than in other areas of public life, concerned the majority of members of the teaching corps. Most of the repressions of this period affected the administrative staff and teachers of public departments. The most disastrous was, as G.I. Khanin, their influence on moral life of universities: an epidemic of denunciations, "squealing", extrajudicial arrests crippled moral character and students and teachers.

On the demoralization of teachers and students of universities (in relation to the Moscow university IFLI mentioned above, which formed the elite of society, ideological corps of power), writes L.M. Mlechin: “It may seem strange and unbelievable, but in the thirty-seventh, eighth, ninth, that is, during the years of rampant Stalinist terror, which did not spare IFLI either (both students and teachers were imprisoned there, and at Komsomol meetings held every week two or three times, the children of the “enemies of the people” came to the podium in succession and repented that they overlooked, did not see how their mother or father was at their side ... - it was said with a touch of alienated disgust: “father”, “mother” or more often - “he”, “she”.), at this time the poets were still loudly proclaiming something of their own” [Mlechin, 2004].

It should be noted that the demoralization among teachers and scientists, which was a consequence of the general oppressive atmosphere in the country, was very significant at that time. Academician A.D. Sakharov (1921-1989) writes in his memoirs that at the end of the 1930s, at the initiative of the scientists themselves, their colleagues, physicists S.L. Mandelstam, M.L. Leontovich, I.E. Tamm ... [Sakharov, 1990, p. 35]

What are the results of the increasing attention of the USSR authorities to higher professional education? And here they are: Over the two five-year plans, the national income in our country grew 2.8 times (or, per capita, when calculated in dollars, 2.5 times). During the same period, the national income of France grew only by 36.7%, and on a per capita basis - by 35.4%); in the UK, by 17%, and per capita, by 11.5% (calculated according to [Mironov, 2003, Table 25, p. 394]).

By the end of the second five-year plan, the USSR ranked second in the world in terms of industrial output, second only to the United States (if we count the British metropolis, dominions and colonies as one state, then the USSR will be in third place in the world after the United States and Britain). Imports dropped sharply, which was seen as the country's gaining economic independence. Open unemployment was eliminated. Employment (at full time) increased from one-third of the population in 1928 to 45% in 1940, accounting for about half of the growth in GNP. Labor productivity in industry increased by 90%, which was the result of an increase technical level. By 1940, about 9,000 new factories had been built.

If we briefly formulate the results of the pre-war development of the domestic higher school, then it should be stated that it played a crucial role in the modernization Soviet economy and society. In addition, formed for Soviet years system of higher vocational education one can consider a very important cultural phenomenon as the result of a cultural revolution carried out "from above".

During this period, the Soviet government did more to educate the population of the country than the tsarist government did during the entire period of its existence. It was the Soviet know-how that provided the modernization breakthrough of the 1930s.

Of course, the education system itself could not change the socio-economic situation in the country. However, as A.L. Andreev, one should not forget that "it is in Soviet school In the 1930s and 1940s, the future generation of the “thaw” was undergoing intellectual and moral formation” [Andreev, 2008, p. 228] of the late 1950s - early 1960s. As an example, let's name a number of well-known surnames that have become peculiar symbols of the "Khrushchev thaw": R. Rozhdestvensky (born 1932), E. Yevtushenko (born 1933), A. Voznesensky (born 1933). All these people finished school in the late 30s - early 40s of the XX century.

In terms of the share of expenditures on education in the GDP of the USSR during this period, it was almost twice ahead of the developed capitalist countries. In pre-war 1940, expenditures on education in the USSR, according to the calculations of G.I. Khanin (2008), amounted to approximately 5.5% of GDP, while in the leading Western countries they, according to V.A. Melyantsev, even in 1950 they averaged only 3.3% [Melyantsev, 1996].

But even with enormous efforts, it is impossible to overcome the centuries-old cultural lag in two decades. And, of course, this was prevented by the "Red Terror", the persecution for political reasons, purposefully carried out in relation to the intelligentsia.

(Stalin's speech to graduates of military academies in 1935)

Comrades!

It cannot be denied that recently we have had great successes both in the field of construction and in the field of management. In this regard, we talk too much about the merits of leaders, about the merits of leaders. They are credited with everything, almost all of our achievements. This is, of course, false and wrong. It's not just the leaders. But this is not what I would like to talk about today. I would like to say a few words about the cadres, about our cadres in general and about the cadres of our Red Army in particular.

You know that we have inherited from the old times a technically backward and semi-impoverished, devastated country. Devastated by four years of imperialist war, devastated again by three years of civil war, a country with a semi-literate population, with low technology, with separate oases of industry, drowning in a sea of ​​the smallest peasant farms - such is the country we have inherited from the past.

The task was to transfer this country from the rails of the Middle Ages and darkness to the rails of modern industry and mechanized agriculture. The task, as you can see, is a serious and difficult one. The question was: EITHER we will solve this problem in the shortest possible time and strengthen socialism in our country, OR we will not solve it, and then our country - technically weak and culturally obscure - will lose its independence and turn into an object of the game of the imperialist powers.

Our country was then going through a period of severe famine in the field of technology. There were not enough machines for the industry. There were no machines for agriculture. There were no cars for transport. There was no that elementary technical base, without which the industrial transformation of the country is unthinkable. There were only separate prerequisites for creating such a base. It was necessary to create a first-class industry. It was necessary to direct this industry so that it would be able to reorganize technically not only industry, but also agriculture, but also our railway transport. And for this it was necessary to make sacrifices and introduce the most severe economy in everything, it was necessary to save on food, and on schools, and on manufacture, in order to accumulate the necessary funds for creating an industry. There was no other way to overcome the hunger in the field of technology. This is how Lenin taught us, and in this matter we followed in Lenin's footsteps.

It is clear that in such a big and difficult undertaking one could not expect continuous and quick successes. In such a case, success can be identified only after a few years. Therefore, it was necessary to arm ourselves with strong nerves, Bolshevik restraint and stubborn patience in order to overcome the first setbacks and steadily move forward towards the great goal, not allowing wavering and uncertainty in our ranks.

You know that we handled this case in exactly this way. But not all of our comrades had the nerve, patience and endurance. Among our comrades there were people who, after the first difficulties, began to call for a retreat. They say that "he who remembers the old is out of his sight." This is, of course, true. But a person has a memory, and one involuntarily recalls the past when summing up the results of our work. So, we had comrades who were afraid of difficulties and began to call the party to retreat. They said: “What do we need your industrialization and collectivization, machines, ferrous metallurgy, tractors, combines, automobiles? It would be better if we would give more manufactory, we would better buy more raw materials for the production of consumer goods and give the population more of all those little things that make people's life more beautiful. The creation of an industry in our backwardness, and even a first-class industry, is a dangerous dream.

Of course, we could use the 3 billion rubles of foreign currency that we obtained through the most severe economy and spent on creating our industry - we could use them to import raw materials and increase the production of consumer goods. This is also a kind of "plan". But with such a "plan" we would have neither metallurgy, nor mechanical engineering, nor tractors and automobiles, nor aviation and tanks. We would be unarmed before external enemies. We would undermine the foundations of socialism in our country. We would find ourselves in captivity of the bourgeoisie, internal and external.

Obviously, it was necessary to choose between two plans: between the plan of retreat, which led and could not but lead to the defeat of socialism, and the plan of attack, which led and, as you know, has already led to the victory of socialism in our country.

We chose a plan of attack and went forward along the Leninist path, wiping back these comrades as people who saw something under their noses, but turned a blind eye to the immediate future of our country, to the future of socialism in our country.

But these comrades did not always limit themselves to criticism and passive resistance. They threatened us with raising an uprising in the party against the Central Committee. Moreover, they threatened some of us with bullets. Apparently, they hoped to intimidate us and force us to deviate from the Leninist path. These people have obviously forgotten that we Bolsheviks are people of a special breed. They forgot that the Bolsheviks could not be intimidated by difficulties or threats. They forgot that we were forged by the great Lenin, our leader, our teacher, our father, who did not know and did not recognize fear in the struggle. They forgot that the more the enemies rage and the more the opponents within the Party fall into hysterics, the more the Bolsheviks heat up for a new struggle and the more rapidly they move forward.

It is clear that we did not even think of turning off the Leninist path. Moreover, having strengthened on this path, we moved forward even more rapidly, sweeping away any and all obstacles from the road. True, we had to crush the sides of some of these comrades along the way. But there's nothing you can do about it. I must confess that I also had a hand in this matter.

Yes, comrades, we have set out confidently and swiftly along the path of industrialization and collectivization of our country. And now this path can be considered already passed.

Now everyone recognizes that we have achieved tremendous success along this path. Now everyone admits that we already have a powerful and first-class industry, a powerful and mechanized agriculture, a transport that is expanding and going uphill, an organized and well-equipped Red Army.

This means that we have largely outlived the period of famine in the field of technology.

But having outlived the period of famine in the field of technology, we have entered a new period, a period, I would say, of a famine in the field of people, in the field of personnel, in the field of workers who are able to ride technology and move it forward. The fact is that we have factories, plants, collective farms, state farms, an army, we have equipment for all this work, but there are not enough people with sufficient experience necessary to squeeze the maximum out of equipment that can be squeezed out of it. . We used to say that "technique is everything". This slogan helped us in the sense that we eliminated the hunger in the field of technology and created the broadest technical base in all branches of activity for arming our people with first-class equipment. It is very good. But this is far and far from enough.

In order to set technology in motion and use it to the fullest, we need people who have mastered technology, we need cadres capable of mastering and using this technology in accordance with all the rules of art.

Technology without people who have mastered technology is dead. Technology, led by people who have mastered technology, can and must produce miracles. If our first-class plants and factories, our collective farms and state farms, our Red Army had a sufficient number of cadres capable of saddling this technique, our country would have three and four times more effect than it now has.

That is why the emphasis must now be placed on people, on cadres, on workers who have mastered technology.

That is why the old slogan "technology decides everything", which is a reflection of the period already passed when we had a famine in the field of technology, must now be replaced by a new slogan, the slogan that "cadres decide everything".

This is the main thing now.

Can it be said that our people have understood and fully realized the great significance of this new slogan? I wouldn't say that.

Otherwise, we would not have that ugly attitude towards people, towards cadres, towards workers, which we often observe in our practice.

The slogan "cadres decide everything" requires our leaders to show the most caring attitude towards our employees, "small" and "large", in whatever area they work, cultivate them carefully, help them when they need support, encourage them, when they show the first successes, pushed them forward, etc.

Meanwhile, in fact, in a number of cases we have facts of a callously bureaucratic and downright ugly attitude towards workers.

This, in fact, explains why instead of studying people and only after studying putting them on posts, people are often thrown around like pawns. We have learned to appreciate machines and report on how much equipment we have at plants and factories. But I do not know of a single case where they would report with the same willingness how many people we raised over such and such a period and how we helped people grow and become tempered in their work. What explains this? This is explained by the fact that we have not yet learned to value people, to value workers, to value cadres.

I recall an incident in Siberia, where I was at one time in exile. It was in the spring, during the flood. About thirty people went to the river to catch the forest, carried away by the raging huge river. By evening they returned to the village, but without one comrade. When asked where the thirtieth was, they indifferently replied that the thirtieth "stayed there." To my question: "How is it that you stayed?" - they answered with the same indifference: "What else is there to ask, drowned, therefore." And then one of them began to hurry somewhere, declaring that "we should go and water the mare."

To my reproach that they pity cattle more than people, one of them replied with the general approval of the rest: “Why should we pity them, people? We can always make people, but a mare ... try to make a mare ". Here is a touch, perhaps insignificant, but very characteristic. It seems to me that the indifferent attitude of some of our leaders towards people, towards cadres, and the inability to appreciate people, is a relic of that strange attitude of people towards people, which was expressed in the episode in distant Siberia that has just been told.

So, comrades, if we want to successfully overcome the hunger in the field of people and ensure that our country has a sufficient number of cadres capable of moving technology forward and putting it into action, we must first of all learn to value people, value cadres, value everyone. an employee who can contribute to our common cause. Finally, we must understand that of all the valuable capital available in the world, the most valuable and decisive capital is people, cadres.

It must be understood that under our present conditions "cadres decide everything."

If we have good and numerous cadres in industry, agriculture, transport, the army, our country will be invincible.

We will not have such shots - we will limp on both legs.

Concluding my speech, allow me to proclaim a toast to the health and prosperity of our academic graduates in the Red Army! I wish them success in organizing and leading the defense of our country!

Conversation within the framework of webinar No. 124 “Personnel decides everything! And that’s it”, which took place on November 29, 2017.

SHOT #1 AND THE STABILITY OF THE CEMETERY VARIETY

“Cadres decide everything” - a famous historical quote by Stalin exactly like his other quotes: “There is a person - there is a problem. No person - no problem. I would rephrase one of these quotes: "What is a person, such are the problems."

There is a little funny anecdote. Knocking on the door to the man Death, the man opens:

I am death.

So it is with staff. And all...

The conversation is relevant because our data on the objective indicator of Russia's viability for the 26-year post-Soviet period, and especially for the last years of Putin's period, show that Russia is losing its viability. A country is a living organism, it is born in a deep history, it can get sick, be in crisis conditions, it can die, as it died Russian empire in 1917, the Soviet Union in 1991. And according to this indicator, Russia is now approaching the threshold of its viability, that is, the threshold of its death.

Many questions are asked about the reasons for the total degradation of the country. One of the pressing issues is the question of personnel. Sometimes a single cadre can decide a lot, and today, of course, we will talk about cadres, not so much about some professionally specialized locksmiths, repairmen, adjusters, apparatchiks, but about cadres in the public administration system, in the system of public policy , about that very single frame, on which history, as if in focus, then lays a significant share of the responsibility. For example, Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, whose efforts led to the destruction Soviet Union. The phrase is simplified, of course, but no one will argue about the contribution that he made to the preparation of the collapse big country. Like a frame named Yeltsin.

We understand that the first person, the head of state, is a special cadre who, firstly, personally, personally, makes a huge contribution to the state, dynamics of the country, but in addition, he also gives rise to a personnel pyramid, because when a new political teams with a new political leader can implement completely different principles. Why is this especially relevant now? Last week, our President, popularly elected, broke a record. In terms of the duration of his reign, he has already blocked Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev. And this very stability, which the country's leadership is now proud of, the so-called "stability", the stability of the cemetery variety and nature, is that for the next six years they plan not to change anything in the country, that is, both personnel policy and frame No. 1 according to these plans in the country will not change. An analysis in this area of ​​state management of the country's development can give a very important understanding of the causes of today's degradation and a forecast of what to expect for responsible people, people who love their country, people who understand what a threat threatens it.

Therefore, the topic of personnel who decide everything is incredibly relevant.

HOW WILL THE POWER CHANGE IN RUSSIA IF THE ELECTION IS NOT PUTIN, BUT HIS POLITICAL OPPONENT WINS?

In 1999, when the personnel department, not only and not so much in the Kremlin, but overseas, was deciding who would inherit Yeltsin, they first settled on frame No. 1 in the person of Nikolai Emelyanovich Aksenenko. I know this for certain, as a historical witness. It was a very strong figure, capable and professional in terms of attitude to the country, to the ideology in the triangle "socialism-liberalism-fascism". He was a man who could give a chance to our country. But the Dyachenkos, the Berezovskys, the Voloshins, the “regional committee” of personnel, the “department” of personnel of a certain sort intervened, and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was elected. 18 years have passed. And what has the country become? What she is now striving for is completely understandable.

A simple question: “Did this 18-year-old fate of the country, the collapse of those hopes and aspirations that were associated in the early years, I confess, in my mind, depended on frame No. 1 with the chances that the new President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, seemed to bring? ". What's happened? The theory says that when the first person of the state changes in democratic countries, the political team is replaced. In the United States of America, the figure is about 120 people who come to the White House, government and executive power infrastructures along with the new president. It really is. The changeover process has been completed. At the end of the elections, when the winner in the presidential elections is determined, in the latter case - Trump, two teams are created: the outgoing President and the incoming one, which transfer cases, transfer, including sensitive and secret institutions, documents and processes, a nuclear suitcase and the like.

Let's ask a simple question: "How will the change of power in Russia take place if the election (well, let's dream, dream up, more precisely) is not won by Putin, but by his political opponent?" How will this procedure be arranged? What new President will bring with him cadres? Which cadres from the old team, according to what principles and procedures will leave their offices? And the first, simplest question is this: “If the current political regime absolutely, in a blue eye, can violate the Constitution and laws (I mean the processes of formation of power at the federal level, which we, in fact, have already observed in the form of global all-Russian, at the level of organization state system, at times electoral fraud), if the current political power in the country treats political propriety, laws that seem to be somehow not as detailed as in the United States, but describe the transitional procedure, are treated with such disdain, then how will they transfer power to the President, opposition to Putin and Putinism? To the new political regime, which in its presidential election program announced in advance how, what, on what scale, in what direction it and the new political team will change in the country?”

I'm going to simplify this picture. The future President has been elected (I think about this not in the abstract, but specifically in connection with his own well-known intentions), finds out in the morning at the Central Election Commission that yes, he has won and goes, like, knocking on the door of the Spasskaya Tower: “Please let the new President through ". And then there is the National Guard. And there, all this guard, which for 17 years has already sat down, settled down, already feel like lifelong. What are they? This is how the gates will be thrown open and they will say: “You are welcome! Here is bread and salt. Here are the cabinets. Here are the rest rooms. Here are the secret orders. Right here hot phone with Trump?

This means that the first very serious question that I raise in this topic is: “What are the guarantees that in Russia it will become a reality and the possibility of changing not only the first person, frame No. incoming policies, under the coming plans and programs that will turn the country around in many respects from what is now called Putinism in political science, that is, a model of a country that, over 18 years, has somewhat succeeded the Yeltsin model, reproduced it, and in some ways developed to a completely extreme, even to an absurd quality, which, in fact, is responsible for the movement to the threshold of the collapse of the state?

WHAT THE POP IS, THIS IS THE COMING, OR THE FISH ROTS FROM THE HEAD

The second problem, which I consider very serious, and it is necessary to discuss it: “What kind of team? Where can it come from the new President for new goals, a new political course, a new Constitution, a new programmatics of the country? Who are these people? Where will they come from? I'll start with something else. And who are the people who are now sitting in the Kremlin offices, the offices of the White House, many very sensitive federal organizations and services, including special services, power structures? Who are these people? Where did they come from? They are the high-ranking personnel corps of the country. It has been formed for 18 years. But after 18 years, people, having been born, grow up, become adults, and can even come to these same authorities for some feasible positions. What kind of personnel process was going on during Putinism? Who are these people? What is their education? What are their ideological and moral imperatives? Where did they come from? What are they doing? At what level of quality? What were the principles of this Putin's personnel policy?

We can recall historical examples when the first person actually laid down the principles of personnel policy, and carried out the selection and selection of personnel, and arranged the policy and culture of the personnel process, the measure, degree and levels of responsibility of these appointees, the system for monitoring their activities and those sanctions that they were used in case something was not worked out. Many rather striking, even exotic, examples gave rise to such powerful figures as the first leaders, such as Peter I. He had a very specific personnel policy: “A subordinate in the face of the authorities must look dashing and stupid, so that the authorities could recognize that he introduces himself." Not verbatim, but a quote.

Stalin's, probably, is also a very bright personnel history, in which even young people were selected in an amazing way, sort of like in the Putin period, but those people became outstanding statesmen, leaders who solved the most difficult tasks of state building, defense tasks, tasks of the country's development. What are these secrets? What are the ways to recognize such people? What are the risks and ways to predict that a certain young person can grow up and solve the problems that lie ahead of him? Many questions are not classified, you will not find answers in books. But analysis and a special look at top-level personnel policy provide some lessons and some recipes and a vision of the future also suggest.

Where do we start? Let's start, of course, with the well-known. What is the pop, such is the arrival. Where does the fish rot from? Also known. The fish rots from the head. The role of the first person in the system state power and management, determining the system of state policy. What did we see during the years of the same quoted Stalin? This man had incredible intuition, incredible rigidity and cruelty, he was a man of ideas, a man of function. His whole life, all his management, all his decisions, both breakthrough and criminal, were directed towards the goal, the goal of building a state, developing a new model of a socialist state, to combat geopolitical, geo-economic and military-political, military pressure, threats and aggression. And the country during this period turned from an agrarian, collapsed after civil war, in the first or second country in the world, on the first or second step of the podium of world development. This person solved, first of all, the task of developing the country, moving towards the goal. He had his own intellect, natural, in order to formulate a goal, to see it, to project it onto the floors of operational goal-setting and for this already select people who could organize goal achievement. That is, the impulses organizing personnel development in the country largely depended on the qualities of this person, and this is unlikely to be disputed by anyone.

But let's look at the current example, in which it is impossible to see the value-ideological position, platform, understanding and savvy of the first person. It simply doesn't exist. There are no values ​​or goals. This follows from the analysis of direct speech, from the analysis of state administrative documents signed and generated by the first person of the state and his team. There are no goals. The goals are sometimes strange, somehow painful, such as: “Entering the world”, “Disclosure of Russia”, “We are Europe! We are Europe! Partners, partners. In fact, this means, translated into open language, de-sovereignization of the country. Actually this is happening. Desovereignization has reached such a level that today the country is in the status of a pariah, under financial and political sanctions, in isolation, which accelerates its downward movement. It is hardly necessary to prove that the current chief cadre No. 1 and the chief head of personnel public policy in the country, there is simply no goal-setting in the management of the country's development.

FROM THE SHOULDER

And hence the selection of personnel, which is carried out in a certain methodological fork, and this is also a theoretical message. First, the manager needs personnel whom he trusts. Well, how else? Opportunities for sabotage, collusion, palace coup and so on - these classic attributes of the life of supreme power - have not disappeared anywhere, especially today they are beginning to gain their strength and increase the likelihood of implementation. Recently, Erdogan faced this. Putinism will inevitably face this.

A fork in the road: a subordinate must be trustworthy, or a subordinate must be professional, capable - this is a challenge. How to combine these two requirements: both confidential, and professional, capable? It is clear that this criterion sharply narrows the field of choice, because your friends at school, along the Leningrad street, in the gym, in the Sobchak City Hall, in all sorts of interesting affairs - this is a rather limited circle of people who, being, of course, trusting, professional capacity on the highest level they cannot take and receive state administration from anywhere: neither by education, nor by inclusion, nor by any tradition, nor even by life, the most fantasy plans, strategies for the future life of gaining for themselves necessary knowledge, professions and so on. None of this has happened and never will. The principle of selecting personnel "for the purpose" does not smell here. Why? So no goals!

That is, we can confidently say now that the personnel process in Putinism was built on the principle of trust. It is difficult to talk about professionalism when people who do not have any professional background became and are becoming ministers or deputy prime ministers: they did not serve in the relevant professional areas, they did not grow in the professional pyramid, ladder, they did not gain professional knowledge in this area. An absolutely clearest and equally wild example is the appointment of a man who has never served in the army, who has never touched this in his life, was engaged in trade, dealt with finance, whatever. Experts are well aware of how this ultimately affected the country's defense capability. Despite the television picture, despite the demonstrations, which are fairly staged in Syria, and some other pictures, despite all this, experts are well aware of how much the National security country and its defenses.

An example is when a journalist who defended himself in philosophy becomes responsible for the military-industrial complex, creating his own expert institutes. True, right there, a person who in his life did not hold a soldering iron in his hands “drew” the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences. Well, such miracles do happen, but there are no miracles of reliable launches from philosophy from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. The head of the expert council in the field of the military-industrial complex appoints a candidate of philosophical sciences - this is another example. And is it any wonder that rockets from Vostochny do not take off, then fall. But I will not list these examples. They are well known. They are heard. But the frame is trustworthy! All hands. Break up the patriotic opposition party, please. NATO to bark - please. Pigeons drive from the Tuzla Spit - please.

Is it any wonder that the governor's corps, which in this personnel pyramid also serves one super-task - to be trustworthy, does not mean professional personnel decisions at all. A person finds himself in a region that, relatively speaking, he has never been in his life, elections are allegedly held, elections that should choose the best, professionally most prepared for this role, are replaced by an administrative filter - as they command, all this will happen. There are no elections, of course, no mechanism for legitimizing trust, as well as exactingness on the part of the population towards the so-called governors. There is no talk about it. A surrogate, not a personnel policy. Governors can be taken and removed in a pack, removed (they are not removed for success) and immediately awarded orders in the Kremlin. Marasmus.

This personnel policy, as it seems to us, is described by the formula "From the shoulder". If the leader is weak, professionally unsound, then he is afraid of his subordinates, they may turn out to be more professional than he is. The subordinate, of course, will hide his eyes when he reports to his superiors about some difficult things, but he sees and understands, and it is written in his eyes that the authorities do not understand anything about this. The authorities read papers written by someone, sometimes stumbling, sometimes having learned these papers with talent, raising their eyebrows, making appropriate pauses, inserting even anecdotes, enlivening these very notes. But this is absolutely far from the qualification of professionalism and responsibility for the state entrusted to someone, the ministry to someone, the human sphere to someone.

Unprofessionalism according to this scheme - "From the shoulder" - is replicated. On each subsequent floor of appointments - again from the shoulder of the previous boss. And so it turns out the country of managerial gnomes. Is it possible, again theoretically, that is, as it were, in principle, is it possible to combine trust and professionalism in this fork in the choice of personnel? Yes, it's possible. First, trust is determined by working together. So get started on this! Put a person on probation and test him! Put him first at the fourth level, then move him to the third, to the second, and you will make sure that he fits into your team, he professes your ideology, he is in your value space, or he is random, or he plays a role, playing along, looking into eyes and so on.

But attention! What is the main thing in this technological method? The ability of this person to be tested in the field of a single value worldview, a single ideology, which is projected onto a valuable, goal-oriented, problematic and further management field. If a person is concerned about other values ​​than you, the first leader, how can he be trusted? Professional selection is absolutely necessary. This is not a place for improvisation. These places are for people who know the subject of management, know management methods, have a methodology for online approaches to emerging problems. But there must be an ideology and goal setting. Without them, with only one desire for a career and enrichment, nothing will work.

And if this person is forced to call a friend, ask for help from the audience, or what other phantasmagoric scenes are we seeing there? If the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government, who is responsible for the most complicated sphere of the country's life, has never gone through this pyramid in his life? He came as an assistant, an adviser, and in these offices he became a vice-premier. He did not manage a single institution, a single enterprise, a single region, nothing.

We also see this personnel policy, this technique, and we understand that it is precisely this part of the personnel corps that forms the basis of the fifth column, because the dossiers on these outstanding leaders include well-known open data on how they studied abroad in school, how they studied at universities abroad, what kind of internships they had there. Remarkable photographs are visible on a certain cycle: Shokhin, Gaidar, Chubais, Aven, Gref (who else is with them) at Yale University, and then this is the personnel corps in the Yeltsin era, and today these gentlemen-comrades occupy key positions.

In other words, this part of the reflection shows, using an unkind, untenable example, how destructive, poor-quality personnel policy, which, in fact, I reiterate, is a derivative of the quality of the first leader, his political team, is dangerous. So the political team, which should come with each new leader, should not be formed.

DO NO HARM!

Naturally, the second part of today's conversation is about where and how new cadres will come from and what will happen to the old cadres if, let's imagine, a political change takes place in the country. Putin and his Putinism in the form of ideology, practices, personnel corps will go down in history, and a new leader, team, ideology, new management technologies will come up. How can all this happen? Where will these people come from? What to do with the old ones?

A simple principle from medicine - "Do no harm." There must, of course, be a succession of personnel corps, because at least the accumulation of managerial experience, the flow of office work, those documents and archives that have been accumulated now, over decades, should not disappear. This is an experience. It is well known that even a negative experience is also an experience.

What I have observed in State Duma when did she get re-elected? In fact, the administrative apparatus, the apparatus of the committees, also changed, and those developments that accumulated in the committees were simply taken out and thrown away. Neophytes came, looked with round joyful eyes: “Where is there anything? And how can I shift a piece of paper from the left table to the right? But as? What?". Not Kindergarten. Therefore, of course, the vertical cut-off level - a replaceable political team and a successive personnel corps - is the most important principle.

At what height will this cut-off line be? Will it be perfectly horizontal? Most likely, it will be elective. And, most likely, the concept of a transitional period will be mandatory. Moreover, there will be a transitional period in various senses of the word. These are changes in the constitutional and legal space, these are changes in the course of the country in the external space and in domestic politics. It will be a very intense transitional period of communication with our own people in an open, honest way, explaining to them what happened, what kind of dizziness it was from success, and where the country is turning its course. It will be the most intensive political communication with the world, explaining the same issues to it. Openness, professional understanding of where, where and how to move, programmatics, which will be announced and announced in the regime of obligations.

But the transitional personnel process, of course, should take place according to the “Do no harm” principle. Those officials, those leaders in the authorities, the presidency, the presidential echelon, the executive branch, who, of course, are very connected, and also combined in terms of the derivative factor from the presidential set of powers of the corps in the judicial law enforcement system, in the legislative system, in the institutions of the mass media information, in the external representations of Russia - all this, of course, will also enter the regime of the transitional period.

It will be created, it is advisable to create a temporary body of personnel shifts, which will test, filter and carry out decisive, but at the same time smooth, respectful of people and tasks, personnel changes. That there will be an informal recertification is almost obvious. The fact that it should be based on the principle of professionalism and compatibility with the new ideological, political content of the entire state administration, new goal-setting will, of course, also coincide with innovations in terms of the presence of an ideological and party value component. Not only in the corps of managers of all branches of government, including the presidential one, but also in various institutions of society. We will also talk about this separately. The new law on parties, the new law on elections will include all these elements. Value goal-setting will have to come to the country at all levels, and this principle will seriously affect the new personnel policy.

THERE IS A CHANCE THAT PERSONNEL HEALTH CAN COME FAST AND DECISIVELY

Will there be a purge? Yes. Certainly yes. We got a very curious effect retrospectively through special methods of distributed expert evaluation at the time of the transition from Yeltsinism to Putinism. Yeltsin left, Putin came, and the topic of state corruption then looked surprisingly interesting. The level of corruption has grown to its local maximum under Yeltsin. Putin comes - he fell sharply. Why? The officials sat down. They began to wait, to figure out how the new broom of revenge was going to. The broom is a native, a professional from the State Security Committee, the FSB. He - Vladimir Vladimirovich - worked as the director of the FSB for some time. Corruption has set in. The bureaucracy was opportunistic, waiting for an answer. The answer took place ... Corruption has grown to historically maximum level in the days of developed Putinism. But the answer could be different. But why did I give this example? And to the fact that the new culture of responsibility, control, sanctions in the corps of political leaders can change the style of behavior and activities of even those who, let's say, have been spoiled. Those who are incorrigible, those who have caused significant harm to the Russian state, those who are recorded in violation of Russian law, of course, will fall under lustration.

Lustration is a loss of rights. This must be done by law. Now there is no such law. He will have to appear among the first, and will remove a certain contingent of officials from the opportunity to hold state-administrative positions. For some compositions and qualifications, this will be a life deprivation of such rights.

Of course, there can be abuse and all sorts of unpleasant things. Accordingly, of course, temporary bodies will arise not only for personnel shift changes, but also for control and supervision of transitional procedures. The notion of “new centurions”, which brings a new chance to the country, comes to mind. Analogues of the guards of the Islamic revolution come to mind, the corps of which is ideologically and value-motivated. Someone, of course, will say: “Oh! Once again Stepan Stepanovich is thinking about a new totalitarianism! Complete nonsense.

The fact is that the classical state, unlike the thieves' raspberries, has its own laws, not concepts, but the laws of construction, efficiency, ensuring the purity of thoughts, providing mechanisms to protect the interests of people who get to the highest government positions from mutation. There are very important mechanisms of mutation. I quote how experienced people taught me, then still a young statesman: “We are power! We can do everything. We can adopt the law for ourselves (the Rotenberg law), and the Constitution for ourselves, the winners, and the Constitution for Yeltsin of a super-super-super-duper-presidential republic! Yes, we can break laws, because we ourselves are judges! Yes, we can withdraw from the jurisdiction of courts, for example, the ECtHR, if we do not like its decisions!”

There is such a temptation in power - to be above the rule of law, above morality, above sociality, above responsibility to the majority of the population, to their own people. We see this problem, I don’t want to compare and draw historical parallels, but there is no task in our political echelon to enrich ourselves, to fill our foreign bags offshore. It is enough for me, and for those people who will come to power, or, say, not for me and those people, but for the principles that are theoretically possible for the new Russia, to provide for myself, my family at a healthy, normal, non-acquisitive level. Do not pretend to anything else, cutting off temptations, temptations and claims with special institutions of control, supervision, including special anti-corruption institutions and not in the mode of chatter, chatter (“A thief should be in prison!”, “We are against corruption!”), but knowing exactly how to fight this disease, this bubonic plague that has struck the country (corruption) with numerous know-how solutions. This means that there is a chance that personnel recovery can quickly and decisively come.

WE KNOW THE CAUSES OF THE DISEASE, KNOW THE MEDICATIONS, WE INTEND TO APPLY THEM

Who are the new candidates? Where will they come from in the offices, which, for natural reasons, which I talked about, will be vacated? What are these people? Where are they from? There is evidence from our many years of research that the personnel corps of the Moscow spill, seemingly even with the experience of the Kremlin and other White House, State Duma offices, loses in terms of quality to the personnel corps of the regions. Despite the fact that degradation is happening everywhere, it is losing. Fresh blood will flow to Moscow in terms of personnel.

The second most important consideration. The post-Soviet period, Putinism in particular, has plans that are very far-reaching, which they are implementing and which, translated from English, were introduced in 1991, and in the subsequent Yeltsin years, and in the 2000s, and subsequent Putin years. After all, the system of education and training of personnel, highly qualified personnel, has actually been destroyed. Not only did corruption lead to the substitution of a high-quality dissertation process, the USE led to processes of a decrease in the quality of education of young people, the Bologna system led to a sharp, noticeable, completely significant decrease in the quality of university education, postgraduate postgraduate studies turned into absolute bullshit, and this reduced the overall level of quality training of highly qualified personnel.

What can be done here? First, filtering, testing and casting in these provisional bodies will and should be the toughest and most effective. Second, of course, this system itself grows out of secondary education. There will no longer be any USE, there should not be a testing system that not only changed the methods of examination, it is the entire system school preparation changed. She created a monkey house that throws creative people to the sidelines, and bred opportunistic people, crammers who are able to use any, including illegal, methods instead of knowledge.

This system will have to change and intensively so that in a few years a new cadre corps will come as a potential for renewal in public administration. Headhunting, special institutes will seek out the most talented and capable people throughout the country. What is called nepotism, nepotism, heirs in key and critical personnel appointments will be eradicated publicly and defiantly. And not exemplary examples of the fight against corruption, which in the current period look like anti-exemplary ones, using the examples of Serdyukov, Vasilyeva and other strange cases, but people, like in China, will approximately be shown how decisively and instructively for all other government personnel the fight against corruption.

I am practically convinced that a temporary defrosting of the moratorium on the death penalty is inevitable for the most serious crimes - violence against women, against children, high treason and the worst corruption. This will be an inevitable measure. Europe will endure, as they say now, all civilized countries will endure, because for Russia the period of geopolitical survival is approaching, moving the country away from the brink of state collapse. Nothing. They will tolerate it, because Russia, the disintegrating Russia, aggressive Russia, Putin's Russia, absurd Russia, immoral Russia, antisocial for the world is a much greater threat than Russia, which will restore its health, become an open, transparent, respectable participant in world affairs and processes. And after some time, the national leader, and the new state value ideology, and targeted programming, public administration, the personnel corps, which will be set up for this, will allow the country to become world leaders with its new world project.

You can now say: "Stepan Stepanovich! Well, how can you say about the cadres that decide…?”. Friends! A state, a country is such a system in which everything is connected with everything. I really talked about the personnel problem, about personnel development and about personnel policy in the country for a strategic perspective. But look how everything is connected with the general improvement of the country, which begins, like everything in the life of a person and society, from the most important thing - from the values ​​that drive a person, his friends, his team, his political team. The values ​​that drive today the current leader, his political team, have turned public administration into what they have turned into, into what has become a deadly disease for Russia. This is what we see. Based on this, we say that personnel purge, personnel renewal, personnel technology, personnel policy will be different, like this, like this and like that.

Today's topic, of course, is not exhausted, but it is optimistic, because when you know the diagnosis of a terrible disease, it is optimistic that you get a chance to find a cure and be cured of this disease. It is optimistic that, knowing what caused the organism to get sick, we can prescribe to this organism healthy lifestyle life, including in such a key sensitive link as the personnel policy of the state.

And who is the first leader of the country? And who is next to him? And who is his political team? And what are the principles that reach the most earthly level, which we will call "people's self-government" (the next level is local government, a subject of the federation, and so on)?

Absolutely hopeless are those promises who say: “I will solve this problem by unscrewing the screw here, this nut”, and not to mention how it is connected with everything else in the state, which is all interconnected and requires complex (not complex, but complex) approach. Bearing in mind also that this is not a static task, but a dynamic task, a task that must be solved in development. Such an integrated management will definitely come to the country.

Everything is connected to everything and will be solved in a single paradigm, on a single platform, with a single approach, which does not exist today. Why not? Because, I repeat, we need a state ideology as a collection of the highest values ​​of the people, the country and the state, everything will be derivative and dependent on them.

Therefore, I want to reassure you. I want to convey a bit of optimism to you. We know the causes of the disease, we know what the cure is, we intend to apply them. And since all this is connected with the word "health", then everything will be great with us.
