Toward Sovereignty of the Soviets

Abstract

Today everyone understands and recognizes the key significance of the Soviets in the system of state administration and in social management in general. However, there are many who do not believe that there is any need for drastically reorganizing them, that it is only necessary to give their activity a more businesslike character. But numerous attempts in this direction have invariably failed. There is no sense in continuing in this spirit. The time has clearly come to think about the principal reasons for the insufficient effectiveness of the Soviets and about their radical reform, which can and should become the core of democratization of the entire system of organs of state power and administration.
