Abstract

The paper deals with a problem that so far has not come under scrutiny in historiography of Latvia – a system of control and punishments established by the Communist Party in order to regulate the conduct of nomenklatura. The paper is based on archives of institutions of the Latvian Communist Party, and it analyses the fundamental principles of the Party ethics, punishments and controlling institutions, as well as developments of the policy of penalties for such violations of the Party ethics as loss of class vigilance, abuse of power for personal benefit and breaches of social life morality.
