The Civil Service in the USSR at present shows a certain number of specific characteristics of which Mr Lazarev compiles a complete list. First he presents a consensus of the numerous educational centers founded since 1965 and of their education or specialization programs.

In keeping within the same lines, he points out the most recent aspects of the obligations imposed on civil servants to account for their actions to the people.

In the end, Mr Lazarev treats the responsabilities of the State's employees thus concluding a study of an undoubtable informative interest.
