520 _aThe command administrative system of governance which existed in the former Soviet Union was based on bureaucracy as one of its key elements. Soviet bureaucracy was fully politicized. To be placed even in a minor managerial position was tantamount to becoming a political appointee: a person had to be approved by the Communist party's local committee. The term "nomenclature" is generally used to describe the senior management level in the former Soviet Union. Basically, it was an explicit list of top administrative posts to which only select people could have been appointed. These people (all, without exception, Communist Party members with the experience of several years) were on the lists of potential candidates that were maintaianed by the Communist Party. The "new Russian bureaucrat" is often a former nomenklatura member. To what extent do present governmental structures meet the goals of the transitional period? What, if any, can be done in order to improve the situation? - Reproduced
