26th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union - 1981 The Internationale - XXVI съезд КПСС
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union was the founding and ruling political party of the Soviet Union. The CPSU was the sole governing party of the Soviet Union until 1990, when the Congress of People's Deputies modified the article of the constitution which had granted the CPSU a monopoly over the political system. The party was founded in 1912 by the Bolsheviks, a revolutionary group led by Vladimir Lenin, which seized power in the aftermath of the October Revolution of 1917. The party was dissolved on 29 August 1991 on Soviet territory soon after a failed coup d'état and was completely outlawed on 6 November 1991 in Russian territory.
