Abstract
Western analysis of Soviet politics invariably focuses on the institutions at the pinnacle of the Soviet system—the CPSU Central Committee and the Politburo. For the average Soviet citizen, however, the machinations of these organs are remote and often irrelevant. It is at the regional and local levels that Soviet citizens most frequently come into direct contact with their political system. Regional and local governments are responsible for a wide range of services that directly affect citizens: the provision of housing, health care, education, the supervision of industrial production, the operation of stores and commercial enterprises, and cultural and recreation facilities.
