He became a “gen- eralist" and sought to integrate the party and the Russian so» ciety as a whole, or to “estab< Iish a sense of personal rela— tions” between the government and the people And because Khrushchev be- came more popular with the masses than the party elite (whom he embarrassed) he be- came an anachronism. The Khrushchev style did‘nol fit the Stalinist system, geared to simple priorities and not Do the jurisdictional Con- flicts occurring under Khrush- chev. He had come to power by beating the reformist Mal- enkov. However, Khrushchev later realized “that to make the Soviet system more depend< able he had to make it less totalitarian.” According to Brzezinski, the new generation signifies the first qualitative change in So- viet leadership in 30 years and the close of the Stalinist period, All the new leaders are men younger than Khrushchev whose “careers developed in a wholly institutional frame» work.” Khrushchev had risen in fluid days of little cohesion between institutions, while the new lead— ers rose in the 305 and 405 are professional bureaucrats. They are “individuals interested in orderly procedures." which was. It was precisely these pro- fessional party bureaucrats who saw Khrushchev as a threat be‘ cause he reached out to society. One event that upset the bu- reaucrats was an enlarged meeting of the Presidium to legislate priorities for consum- er goods. This was an obvious conflict with the professional party bureaucrats, who “are in- terested in preserving the pri- macy of the party.” The new leaders are charac- terized by bureaucratic profes- sionalism; they are more paro- chial than the leaders of 30 years ago who were interna- tionally minded. Because the new elite is provincial and nar- row~minded, it can understand neither the need for sharing nor an international spirit. The Soviet system is now the first to be run and headed al- most entirely by bureaucrats, while most systems allow for the introduction of non-bureau- cratic blood, even at the top. The important question now is ”Can an ideologically oriented bureaucracy be the basis for innovation and change?” Can those who advance on the basis of conformity be innovators? Brzezinski closed by noting, ”The problem facing the So- viet leaders is establishing the relevance of the party to a more commercialized, institu« tionalized, advanCed, industrial- ized society." ) Power (Continued from Page 5) Brzezinski, began to emerge in- creasingly as a dominant figure. Backed initially by the Right against the Left. he subsequently haVing destroyed the Left, turned against the Right. Khrushchev followed this same tactic, Brzezinski noted, although the period of true collective lead- ership between 1953 and 1955 was one in which violence was sys— tematically rooted out from Soviet politics by the use of violence. “Af- terward, terror ceased to play an important role in Soviet politics," Brzezinski said. Commenting on the differences between Stalin's era and the more recent past, Brzezinski outlined several important changes, ”The range or disagreements between the top leadership has become much, much narrower," he said. “The period of the heroic choices between dramatic alternatives per- haps is over." He noted that the quality oi Soviet leadership has declined, and that political victims. no longer dismissed in such a ii- nal sense as during Stalin’s purges, sometimes recover former offices. Brzezinski speculated on certain alternative means for Soviet cul- leciive leadership — “which is a pleasant euphemism ior divided power" — to solve the problem of Succession. “Precisely because the Soviet Union cannot develop orderly tech- niques for the translerral of rule. it has no choice but to continue the News Briefs Coop Sells 200 Books According to director Signe Hanson, the used , book coop took in approximately 400 books and sold about 200 in its first week of business.
