He overviews the progress in implementation of the XI Congress resolutions, explores the deficiencies and limitations in this process, analyzes their causes, particularly subjective. The overwiew of two main reports of the CPV Central Committee presented at the XII Congress allows to draw up characteristics of the current situation and new objectives, to outline urgent measures aiming at country's further development.
