10th Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks)

The 10th Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) was held during March 8-16, 1921 in Moscow. Halfway through the Congress, the Kronstadt uprising started.

Major points discussed included:

• A ban on internal factions in the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) (Resolution No. 12). These factions included Trotskyists, Worker's Opposition (who supported syndicalism), and Democratic Centralists, who wanted more Soviet autonomy.
• The New Economic Policy was decided. Foreign trade, banks and heavy industry would stay in state hands, the rest was privatized.
