Working Notes from the Session of the CPSU CC Presidium on 5 November 1956
(Re: Point VIII of Protocol No. 52)
On the Party in Hungary(1)
(Khrushchev, Zhukov, Molotov)
Today this question need not be considered. The old name (HWP) will not be suitable.
The name must be in accord with Marxist- Len. content.
Cde. Zhukov—consult with secretaries of the provincial party committees.
Cde. Molotov—it would be important to preserve the old name of the HWP.
Cde. Voroshilov—through the CC we should hold a conference of the party aktiv and consult about the name of the party.
Cde. Malenkov—we don't need to consider it right now.
Cde. Kaganovich—consider it organizationally, in essence.
Translator's Notes
1 This brief session produced few results. The formal protocol for the session (in TsKhSD, F. 3, Op. 14, D. 73, L. 4) simply reads: “Defer consideration of the matter.”
