Background The elections took place amidst a series of purges of figures disliked by the government, including the anti-cosmopolitan campaign, the Soviet War Trophy case, as well as deportations (including the deportation of the Soviet Greeks) and persecution of religions (including Operation North). The Cold War had also begun, including incidents such as the Berlin Blockade, Battle of Korea Strait and the Tito–Stalin split. Electoral system The elections were held in accordance with the Regulations on Elections to the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, which had been approved by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR on 11 December 1950.https://books.google.com/books?id=4UY1AAAAIAAJ Положение о выборах в Верховный Совет РСФСР: утверждено указом Президиума Верховного Совета РСФСР от 11 дек. 1950 г.; с изменениями и дополнениями, внесенными Указами Президиума Верховного Совета РСФСР от 29 дек. 1958 г., от 28 марта 1961 г., от 9 янв. 1963 г 1963 Гос. изд-во юрид. лит-ры 44 Conduct Soviet propaganda actively covered the elections in news publications, emphasising their supposed transparency and fairness and contrasting them with the elections of Western Europe and North America. Soviet elections began to be a ritual to show loyalty to the government and some voters attended as early as possible to demonstrate their loyalty, with some queueing up early in the night, as the first person to vote was included in the report for the regional committee. The elections were classed as a holiday, with buffets with sandwiches, sweets and scarce goods provided, while there were also concerts, including jazz.https://publications.hse.ru/mirror/pubs/share/folder/fz1otefjfm/direct/83763492.pdf Anna Kimerling Кто портит бюллетени, тот в союзе недовольных 2013 ru Otechestvennyye zapiski 1 52 2023-04-17 https://web.archive.org/web/20230417093611/https://publications.hse.ru/mirror/pubs/share/folder/fz1otefjfm/direct/83763492.pdf Results Bloc of Communists and Non-Partisans 763 64665587 +0.47 +13 Against all candidates 155723 –0.47 514 64832312 +13 +0.03 Moskovskaya PravdaСообщение Центральной избирательной комиссии по выборам в Верховный Совет РСФСР «Об итогах выборов в Верховный Совет РСФСР 18 февраля 1951 г.» https://viewer.rusneb.ru/ru/000199_000009_013053227?page=1 Moskovskaya Pravda ru 1951-02-22 44 (9417) 1 National Electronic Library References Category:Elections in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic Category:Legislative elections in Russia Russia Category:Supreme Soviet of Russia Category:One-party elections
