The All-Russian Congress of Soviets and Central Executive Committee (CEC):
-Similar to Council of Ministers (law-making,administrative), CEC became dominated by Bolsheviks (many were Commissars) quickly giving way for Bolsheviks to form a one party state
Council of People's Commissars (Sovnarkom):
-Elected members, each Commissar had specific role e.g. Stalin = national minorities, in theory it was answerable to the CEC however the two began to 'merge' as Bolsheviks began to dominate
Central Executive Committee was split into 3 offices:
-Politburo, small group of Bolsheviks who made policy -Orgburo, organised party affairs -Ogburo, maintained order and controlled opposition
Eventually, all government positions became filled by Bolsheviks. The party became the government.
