  • Official Politburo Thread!

    Note: Go to this thread if you want a list of everyone in the RF Demo game including there User Names, Russian Names and there Current Positions in the RF Demo Game:




    This is the current politburo lineup effective May '42 to april '43, this was last edited on 22 July 03 (the first change will be PinkyGen taking over for EZ Rhino as the Economics Minister when EZ rhino leaves us sometime in July '03):

    Politburo Assignments

    I am going to use everyones user name because Im tired, crabby and want to get this done so I can go to bed!

    General Secretary: conmcb25
    Armaments Minister: Greeny
    Economics Minister: EZ Rhino
    Information Minister: El Awrence
    NKVD Cheif: Iron Chancellor
    Bossy20000: Party Idealoligist and Asst Info Minister.
    STYOM-Member at Large
    Pinky Gen-Asst Econ Minister
    Xenozod- Asst NKVD

    The NEW Government as voted on by the people.

    Marshal In charge, defines the different fronts of battle and who commands them. Controls where reinforcements and labour brigades go. He is the first and last person to play the game in a turn. Reports enemy movements upon new turns.

    STAVKA will be the Military War Council for the Marshall. They shall be composed of some or all of the Front Commanders. This shall be decided by the Marshall. Someone who is not a Front Commnader can also be on STAVKA since this body is the group that assists and advises the Marshall he can have someone on the Council that is not a Front Commander. Front Commanders and STAVKA memebrs are chosen and serve at the pleasure of the Marshall. He picks them and he fires them. They are responsible for the Operational and Tactical conduct of the war.

    POLITBURO is the Civilian Committe in Charge. They Hire and Fire the Marshall. If Stavka memebers are tired of or want to get rid of the Marshall they need to covince the POLITBURO. POLITBURO handles the civilian issues:
    Propoganda, Industrial production, finances, Party Purity and Policing those not loyal to the Party. They also determine the Strategic direction of the war. The POLITBURO is composed of 7 members. Those seven chose the General Secretary/Party Chairman and he appoints members to different roles.

    The roles are:
    Propoganda Minister
    Economic Minister
    Armament Minister
    NKVD

    Now thats only 5 total "jobs" but that’s OK in the real Soviet Union the Politburo was the senior Party hacks, they did not necessarily have jobs like lets say the US Cabinet. So the remaining two, if we have 7 would just be plain old Politburo members.

    Anyone else who runs and doesn't make the final seven can be assistants to the "job assigned Members". That way no one is excluded. If someone still wants to participate but doesn’t for some reason want to be on the Politburo then we can just say they are on the Central Committee, which was the Politburos group that executed the Politburos orders.

    Economic Minister In Charge of the Science, tax, lux rate. In charge of assigning specialists to all cities. Controls the Caucauses Oil Fields. Must give approval for use of the rubles in rush buying by the Front Commanders and Armaments Minister. Controls the movement of Lend-Lease Program freight once they land in Murmansk. Reports to the General Secretary.

    Armaments Minster In charge of the Ural Mountains Industrial Complex of cities and the production of those not directly under control of a Front commander (these western cities like Tula and Orel etc will eventually be occupied by Commanders, negating duty). Controls what is produced. Controls workers and labor brigades within the region for maximum output. Must gain the agreement of the Economic Minister to spend money out of the national treasury. Reports to the General Secretary.

    Propaganda Minstry Consists of a Minister position (editor) and and newspaper (Pravda). Creates a map of the current war, records historical events and human intrest/ patriotic stories. These are several open positions for those who would like to be various types of journalists, though there is the chief editor of the newspaper, as Minister of Prop. Reports to the General Secretary.


    NKVD can be in charge of policing us, recommending actions for city disorder, and making sure we all follow the Party line. I would like to eventually explore control of Saratov and the movement of NKVD units before they are assigned but I think that’s a bit much to ask right now. We can discuss that possibility later. (This is subject to change of course, it's still a little fuzzy on what this could turn into, but it's not terribly important right now)

    Chairman would determine the agenda to discuss and make sure that some conclusion came to discussion. He would be the head of committee vice a supreme ruler. Someone to keep the ball rolling, and keep things on track. The chairman could also serve as one of the other “jobs” if there is a shortage of members. He would also ensure that the members with jobs are doing them correctly.

    The Chairman would serve at the pleasure of the Politburo and the Politburo would serve until another election is held. The members with jobs would serve at the pleasure of the Chairman. He could remove them from a job for failure to perform. And appoint another member, do the job himself or appoint an assistant.

    The Marshal will not be on the POLITBURO, nor will POLITBURO members be allowed to hold positions in STAVKA or serve as front commanders.

    POLITBURO members will be elected every 12 game months and will enter into office at the begining of the same month.

    As changes are made via amendment or of course Genral Secretary Proclamation I will of course update this first Post.

    Here are the first Politburo Members:

      I need all the Politburo Members to preferably email me, and tell me two basic things:

      What you want to do, include three choices.

      What your schedule is over the summer. Say from right now till 01 Sep.

      That includes Junoir Politburo Members as well. (Although based on the voting you would be an assistant NKVD guy vice the NKVD guy.

      Email is:

      conmcb25@bluemarble.net.

      I will try to balance wants versus needs. And assignments may change during this one year in office based on the availablity of other Politburo Members

              What should I use then? Dictatorship sounds negatif, command is more for the military, despotism has the same problem as dictatorship. I leave it up to you to provide us with the right words to refer to his ??? After all, you write for Pravda, so you should know how to call it

                Dictatorship of the Proletariat is never a negative thing.

                  No, it isn't a negative thing at all, it only doesn't sound that well! We have to think about our reputation in the world community!!!!!

                      Do you plan on staying on as Armament Minister Conmcb? Otherwise there are only two open positions.

                        No I hadn't planned on it, since we have more than 7 it would be unfair to someone who actually wanted to play. Sorry I had to run last night, the wife and the kid were both driving me nuts.

                            Wait until someday when you are married and have little comrades running around the Dacha Comrade!

                            Then you'll understand the misery of marriage!

                              Marriage is for weak capitalists. The Real Communist man has no need for a wife.
