The number of delegates attending the meeting reached 1,359, of which 1,192 had the right to vote and make decisions, and the remaining 167 could only observe and could not participate in voting.

In addition to representatives of the Soviet Union itself, the Communist Parties of Germany, Northern Italy, Greece, Norway, Mongolia, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Albania and other countries also sent representatives to this representative meeting of the first socialist power to witness this historic moment.

At the time of the conference, the Soviet-German war had ended, and the whole of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, as well as most of northern Europe, had been liberated by the Soviet Union, and it was only a matter of time before a socialist regime was established.

The great national power displayed by the Soviet Union during the war increased the revolutionary confidence of the communists all over the world, making them believe that the construction of a socialist state would make the country stronger.

As in the previous session, the first project of the congress was mainly devoted to the publication of reports, first by the second secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Zhdanov, who published the report on the work of the CPB, and then by Vladimirsky, chairman of the Central Audit Committee, on the work of the Central Audit Committee. There is nothing new in the content of these reports, and the content mentioned in the reports is expected.

Then, Voznesensky, chairman of the State Planning Commission, published the Fourth Five-Year Plan.

Unlike in history, because the Soviet Union's steel, coal, and oil production had already reached the world's first-class level, the Fourth Five-Year Plan did not include the metallurgical and fuel industries as key development projects, but listed light industry, food industry, machinery manufacturing, machine tool manufacturing, and agriculture as the development priorities of the five-year plan.

These industries are closely related to the people's lives, the vast majority of the people eat, use, are light industry and agricultural products, and the development of light industry, the realization of agricultural mechanization needs machine tools and agricultural machinery, so machinery manufacturing and machine tool equipment manufacturing industry is also an indispensable part, also included in the development of the focus.

The three-year war did not have a significant negative impact on the Soviet economy, and the affected areas were mainly western Ukraine, the three Baltic states, and western Belarus.

While these regions were devastated by the war, the Urals, Siberia and the Volga region in the rear of the Soviet Union were flourishing, and military and heavy industrial facilities were rising one after another in the rear of the Soviet Union.

As a result of the war, the production of war materials such as steel, coal, oilseeds, and munitions (including processed foods and Red Army uniforms) throughout the Soviet Union continued to increase, which led to the development of these industries and their supporting industries.

As a result, the GDP of the Soviet Union rose from $500 billion in 1940 to $640 billion in 1944.

However, the war also caused a lot of labor losses to the Soviet Union, with more than 10 million Soviets killed in the war (although many of them were civilians or anti-Soviet militants in the three Baltic states, Western Ukraine, and Western Belarus), leading to a labor shortage in the Soviet Union after the war.

Fortunately, because the Soviet casualties were twice as low as in history, the labor shortage in the Soviet Union was not too serious and was acceptable for the time being.

In fact, the war brought the Soviet Union, in addition to destruction, also an opportunity for development. Because of the outbreak of the war, the Soviet Union's own military industry and its supporting industries have flourished, and after the Soviet Union took over the industrial systems of Germany and Northern Italy, it has received German and Italian industrial technology and advanced equipment.

These technical equipment obtained from Germany and Italy just made up for the technical shortcomings of the Soviet Union in fine machining, metallurgical technology, and the production of machine tools and electrical appliances.

After obtaining these technologies, the relevant Soviet enterprise departments have already started the relevant technical learning work. Some companies have even begun to "apply what they have learned", using technology acquired from Axis companies to improve their existing products in order to improve the quality and yield of their own products.

Some factories even began to set up "copycat" production lines, using equipment imported from Germany/Italy, and applying German/Italian production technology to produce "high-fidelity" industrial products, so that the level of industrial production in the Soviet Union has been greatly improved in a short period of time.

The promulgation of the Fourth Five-Year Plan has attracted the attention of the party delegates across the country, and the focus of local government economic work in the next five years will be based on this plan, focusing on the development of light industry, food industry, machinery manufacturing industry, machine tool manufacturing industry and agriculture, and strengthening the promotion of agricultural mechanization and high-precision industrial technology.

After the five-year plan was announced, Stalin came to power and made a speech in which he proposed a resolution to change the name of the "All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)" (ВКП (Б)) to the "Communist Party of the Soviet Union (КПСС)". The "Council of People's Commissars" will also be renamed the "Council of Supreme Ministers" and the titles of the People's Commissars will be changed to "Ministers".

Both resolutions were finally adopted with the support of a large majority, and from this day on, the name "Communist Party of the Soviet Union" was finally established, and the Supreme Council of Ministers became the highest real authority of the Soviet government, with Stalin himself as the first chairman of the Supreme Council of Ministers.

In addition, the congress adopted a resolution on the abolition of the Organization Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPSU, from which the Organization Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPSU would be replaced by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CPSU (Организационный_отделЦК_КПССС) headed by Manturov, who would have a greater say in the personnel affairs of the party.

In the end, the 19th Congress of the CPSU entered the most striking stage of the elections - 1,192 voting delegates will elect 125 full members and 111 alternate members of the Central Committee of the CPSU.

This link is of great political significance to the vast majority of deputies (especially those at the level of secretaries of state party committees, secretaries of party committees of the territories, and secretaries of party committees of the union republics).

As long as one can stand out from the 1,192 deputies and become one of the 125 full-fledged members of the Central Committee, it is equivalent to entering the circle of the Central Committee of the CPSU.

Although ordinary members of the Central Committee did not have much power, they had a much greater chance of being promoted to the real power departments of the Central Committee than ordinary party representatives, after all, they entered the circle of the Central Committee of the CPSU and were all figures who were trusted and affirmed by the Central Committee.

As a result, all 125 candidates for full membership of the Central Committee and 111 candidates for alternate members of the Central Committee were successfully elected, and the person with the lowest number of votes also received more than 80 percent of the votes.

After the election of the members of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the remaining more than a thousand deputies could basically go back to rest. The newly elected full-fledged members of the Central Committee will elect the next members of the Politburo and the Secretariat of the CPSU Central Committee at the plenary session of the Central Committee.
