Abstract
This article examines the narrative structure of the minutes of party meetings of rural party organizations in Northwest Russia during the period of developed socialism. The meeting reproduced established discourse, teaching it to participants in the meeting, and at the same time, they were means of communications between the local society and the state. Seeing the meaninglessness of the meetings from the point of view of their effect on the economics of farming, rural communists used this space in order to bring the problems that were truly upsetting the community to the attention of the District Committee, who were reading the minutes
