Abstract
The article examines the working conditions of local party bodies in post-war period. The case of Magnitogorsk city committee of VKP(b) shows that the main problems were the staff shortage, a large amount of work and activity of communists. In these conditions, recruitment by acquaintance and personal relationships with supreme management allowed to minimize inevitable errors and omissions. However, permutation in the supreme management along with the negligence of local authorities led to the fact that neglect of party work in Magnitogorsk became public. Simultaneous appearance of «Magnitogorsk case» with «Zaltzman᾿s case», caused the replacement of the party leadership of the city and also Chelyabinsk region.
