Abstract

The article, based on the party documents and letters collected in the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History, reveals the problem of building public perception of the figure of a representative of power structures. It is found that in the period 1950s-1980s in the letters of citizens sent to the Central Committee of the CPSU, a mainly negative attitude was recorded, stating the facts indicating the growing distrust of the authorities. The article demonstrates the situations of the formation of the standards of behavior in a leadership environment associated with various types of abuse of official position, possessiveness, and attraction to material accumulation.
