nations of the world. Will we send
back the threat of war? Yes, certainly.

The direct threat of a war involving
the major powers has diminished. The
international position of the Soviet
Union has markedly improved, and
through heightened trust in our country
rather than an increase in might. The
world situation has acquired more
stability and predictability. More real is
the prospect of bridling the arms race
with all its consequences. The burden
of military expenditure will decline.

An opportunity has opened to offset
the threat to peace on a broader social
and political basis than ever. A’ chance
to lay the ground and have global
problems resolved in conjoint efforts by
the world community. The Party will
actively and persistently act for these
goals.

The path to a brand new state of
society and a new face for socialism lies

through revolutionary restructuring
and democratization in the ideological,
economic and social spheres, through
reform in the political system.

We must reproduce in full deep
significance the principles of scientific
socialism whereby a person’s actions
rather than words are the main factor
in material and cultural development
and are the goal they set themselves.

The Party will build its policies with
distinct orientation on the
humanitarian principles and targets of
socialism, and will seek to accomplish
them by humanitarian and democratic
means.

Naturally, real life and the dialectics
of social development will add plenty
of new aspects to current ideas about
the ways to socialist reform, allowing
us to clarify and enrich them. Several
questions will require amendments to
the Constitution and Legislation, and

some new decisions by Party Congress.

Conference to adopt well-considered
measures which will speed resolute
onward progress and confirm
perestroika as revolutionary and
irreversible.

Advancing these considerations for
discussion, the Central Committee
anticipates active participation by
Communists and all workers. This will
