Seventeenth Conference of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolshevik)

held from Jan. 30 to Feb. 4, 1932, in Moscow: attended by 386 delegates with a casting vote and 525 delegates with a consultative vote. The agenda included a report by G. K. Ordzhonikidze on the results of industrial development during 1931 and the tasks for 1932 and the presentation of the directives for drafting the second five-year plan (1933–37) by V. M. Molotov and V. V. Kuibyshev. The conference noted that the results achieved in industrial development during 1931 ensured the fulfillment of the directives of the Sixteenth Congress of the ACP(B) in 1930. which called for the completion of the first five-year plan in four years. Industrial production increased by 20 percent during 1931. Major new plants were put into operation, including motor-vehicle plants in Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky) and Moscow, the Kharkov Tractor Plant, the Saratov Combine Plant, and the first stage of the Urals Heavy Machine-building Plant. A new coal and metallurgical base was developed—the Urals-Kuznetsk Basin Combine.

The technical basis for the national economy established during the first five-year plan made it possible to develop all branches of industry and ensured the further mechanization and reorganization of agriculture. The foundation for a socialist economy had been laid in the USSR. The Seventeenth Conference of the ACP(B) pointed out a number of shortcomings in the work of industry, outlined measures for overcoming them, and defined the basic tasks of the economic plan for 1932.

The conference elaborated directives for the drafting of the second five-year plan (1933–37), emphasizing that the reconstruction of the national economy would require the complete mastery of technology, the formation of cadres of a new technological intelligentsia from among the workers and peasants, and the improvement of the cultural level of all the working people.

The conference reinforced the line of improving management methods in industry and rejected “left-wing” propositions concerning a shift to the “direct exchange of products” and the “disappearance of money” even at this stage of building socialism.
