	Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Politburo was responsible to, and its membership was subject to, the approval of the Central Committee.
		One example of the Central Committee of the CPSU overruling the Presidium (as the Politburo was known) was the defeat of the so-called Anti-Party Group in 1958.
		Although, in theory, the Politburo was elected from below, in practice, the leading members of the Politburo and, of course, Lenin were highly influential in determining the body's composition which, in the end, reflected the weight and competing influence of various individuals within the party, their allies within the Politburo and supporters outside of it.
