It is proved that the Communist party completely disposed the finances not only belonged to it, but also the resources of the whole country using them in its own purposes, for example, to finance the deficit of budget of the party. It is declared that the revenue and expenditure budgetary activities of regional party organizations had their own interesting characteristics, studying of which allows to expand the framework of our understanding of their functioning.
