ABSTRACT

The Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) takes full account in its activities of the multinational composition of Soviet society. The path that has been traversed provides convincing proof that the nationalities question inherited from the past has been successfully solved in the Soviet Union. Characteristic of the national relations in our country are both the continued flourishing of the nations and nationalities and the fact that they are steadily and voluntarily drawing closer together on the basis of equality and fraternal cooperation. The CPSU proceeds from the fact that in the socialist multinational state, in which more than one hundred nations and nationalities work and live together, there naturally arise new tasks of improving national relations. The Party has carried out, and will continue to carry out such tasks on the basis of the tested principles of the Leninist nationalities policy.
