On July 13, 1897, after many meetings and discussions, the First Congress of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was solemnly concluded in Shanghai, which was joined by all Marxist organizations and Social Democrats in Russia, except for the Social Democratic Party of the Kingdom of Finland, which did not join the Union.

The congress adopted the program of the Russian Union Communist Party and the party's constitution, laid down the goals of the alliance party, the organizational principles of democratic centralism and the party discipline, adopted resolutions on the current practical work, and defined the central tasks of the party after its founding.

The Congress established the National Congress of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation as the highest organ of power of the Union, which elected the National Central Committee as the executive body of the highest organ of power and exercised the functions and powers of the National Congress when the Congress was not in session. The National Congress is convened annually to elect a new Central Committee every five years.

The First National Congress elected Plekhanov, Lenin, Witte, Luxemburg, Markhlevsky, Jojihaus, Walsky, Dzerzhinsky, and Venedikotov as members of the Central Committee, and Chaginov, Nikonov, and Yeremeeva as alternate members of the Central Committee.

The congress decided on the establishment of eight departments under the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation: the General Office, the Organization Department, the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry, the Propaganda Department, the Women's Department, the Youth Department, the Action Department, and the Foreign Liaison Department. Lenin was elected Secretary General of the General Office, Dzerzhinsky was appointed Head of Operations, Venegitov was appointed Head of the Organization Department, Luxemburg was appointed Minister of Women's Affairs, Nikonov was appointed Minister of Agriculture and Industry, Markhlevsky was appointed Head of the Propaganda Department, Yeremayeva was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper "The Communist", the organ of the Union Party, Joghijs was appointed Minister of Youth, and Walsky was appointed Head of the Department of Foreign Relations. Because of Werther's special status, he did not hold positions in various departments of the party.

"Vasya, we succeeded!" After the meeting, Ilyich said happily to Werther.

Witt looked at the red flag that had just been made, with a yellow sickle and hammer in the upper left corner of the red flag, and a yellow five-pointed star just above the tip of the sickle. The hammer symbolizes the working class and the sickle symbolizes the peasant class, and the combination of the two is the symbol of the workers' and peasants' alliance and the Communist Party. The five-pointed star not only symbolizes the five fingers of each hand of the workers and peasants, but also represents the slogan "the proletarians of the world unite", which is also full of emotion. So he said: "Ilyich, our efforts have just begun, let's work hard together to achieve our ideals." ”

"Congratulations, Ilyich and Vasya, we are witnessing a great moment in the socialist movement, and we look forward to the realization of their ideals by the Russian Marxists." Mr. Bebel came and congratulated Lenin and Werther.

When Lenin heard this, he said: "Sir, this is not only the ideal of our Russian Marxists, but also the ideal of Marxists all over the world, and even more so of the proletarians of the whole world. ”

"Yes!" Bebel said happily, "Let's celebrate this great occasion together!" ”

After the end of the First National Congress, the work of Witte did not end, and it can be said that the work of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation did not end, as the executive body of the newly elected supreme organ, the work of the Central Committee can be described as innumerable.

"Comrades, the founding of the Union Party is only the beginning of our Russian Marxists, and we have a lot of work to do in the future, and I would like you to give your suggestions and suggestions for the great victory of Marxism in Russia." As the secretary of the Central Committee, Plekhanov spoke for the first time in the first conference room of the Central Committee.

After Plekhanov finished speaking, Lenin, as deputy secretary and secretary general of the General Office of the Committee, said: "With the exception of the three comrades Markhlevsky, Jogheus, and Walsky, who were unable to attend this meeting of the Central Committee because they were far away in Warsaw, there were nine members, including alternate members of the Central Committee, and more than half of the members of the meeting were in line with the decision of the congress. ”

"After the founding of the Union Party, I felt that the first task was to establish local organizations in Russia, especially in the major cities, where local party organizations must be set up to mobilize the masses and propagate revolutionary ideas; Second, to cultivate loyal and reliable party members, after the establishment of the coalition party, Marxists in all localities, including former Polish-Lithuanian social democratic party members, should be re-registered, examined, and investigated, and those whose history is not clear and have bad deeds must be removed, and the organizational examination of new party members should also be strengthened, and at least two introducers should be required, and they must go through a one-year organizational inspection before they can become full party members. ”

"I agree with Minister Venegitov." After listening to Vinegitov's words, Witt took the lead in saying, "The loyalty of party members is the source of whether our party can maintain sustained combat effectiveness!" It is determined to put an end to the occurrence of such a thing as the Petersburg Marxist Association, so I suggest that the organization department should work closely with the operational department and take the necessary punishment against the party members in question, as well as strengthening the scrutiny. The organizational department should be the department that punishes the former and the latter, and treats the sick and saves people. ”

Dzerzhinsky said: "I am not opposed to the strengthening of the examination of party members in the organizational department, but with regard to the examination of the members of the former Polish-Lithuanian Social Democratic Party, I hope that the organization department must pay attention to the way it works, I believe that these members are loyal revolutionaries, and I do not want excessive censorship to cause panic." ”

"Yes, that's what I think." Luxembourg said.

After hearing this, Plekhanov nodded and said: "Yes, we are all revolutionaries, and the examination must be carried out, but it must not hurt the hearts of party members. With regard to the establishment of local party organizations in various localities, Comrade Lenin was in charge of the general responsibility, with the assistance of Comrade Hayes and Comrade Walsky. In addition, the newspaper "The Communist," the organ of the party, will begin to be printed and distributed, and the first issue of the newspaper will mainly publicize some basic information about the party and introduce Marxism. ”

"I think in addition to that, we must now determine the location of the Party Central Committee, and we must find a safe, secure, and stable place." Nikonov said at this time.

After Nikonov finished speaking, everyone looked at Werther, and Werther smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't look at me, everyone can't be completely safe anywhere except Shanghai now." ”

"Shanghai?" Chaginov said, "Shanghai is very safe, but it is far away from Russia, and we can't understand many things in detail, and after all, this is the place of the Qing Dynasty, and so many of us are here to attract attention, even in the concession it is not easy to cover up our identity, after all, there are many people from other countries in addition to us Russians, and it is easy to be exposed." ”

While everyone was thinking anxiously, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and Eremeyeva, who was sitting near the door, opened the door only to see Krupskaya walk in and say to Werther: "There is an officer from the Shanghai consulate outside the door, saying that it is your secretary, and there is an urgent telegram from Petersburg for you to go." ”

"Petersburg?" Witt asked.

Krupskaya nodded, and when Witte saw this, he said: "Everyone continue here first, and I will first go and see what errand our Tsar has given me." ”
