Summary/Abstract: The article deals with a discussion of political struggle influence on the machinery of the Central Committee of AUCP(b) in the period of 1946-1952. It is impossible to prove the influence of Central Comitee secretaries, especially the groups of A. Kuznetsov, and A. Zhdanov, on the Central Comitee machinery. It is possible to assert that the main executor of machinery reforms in 1948 and 1952 was G. Malenkov, but it is unknown who was the initiator - probably Stalin. The article details the changes in departments of the Central Comitee Secretariat and highlights the major personnel changes within the Central Committee machinery over these years.
