From the memoirs of Soviet party leader V.A. Medvedev
“On June 11... a meeting was held at the CPSU Central Committee on issues of accelerating scientific and technological progress. The report of the [Secretary General] implemented to the maximum extent the developments that were carried out during these years in preparation for the Plenum of the Central Committee.
The meeting deepened the critical analysis of the previous period of development. At the same time, it was clearly discovered that the acceleration of scientific and technological progress, and therefore the socio-economic development of the country, rests on the economic mechanism inherited from the past. Further practice confirmed that even carefully developed extensive programs for the development of science and technology, the modernization of domestic mechanical engineering ... cannot count on success under the conditions of the old economic mechanism, therefore the center of gravity and attention in the economic sphere began to constantly switch to the development of the economic mechanism. And behind this, the whole chain gradually followed.
Upon in-depth analysis of the problems of improving the economic mechanism, it turned out that it is unthinkable without reforming the entire political system, and this, in turn, dictates the need to reconsider the role of the party itself.”
