Politburo of the 28th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union explained

Number:	28
Start:	14 July 1990
End:	29 August 1991
Next:	Party dissolved

The Politburo of the 28th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was in session from 1990 to 1991.

The new politburo was expunged and weakened, and apart from Mikhail Gorbachev himself, no members also held positions in the state or government leadership of the Soviet Union. Included in the new politburo were all the republic party heads. The resulting geographical diversity made the past practice of weekly meetings impractical. In addition, the category of nonvoting candidate members was dropped.^[1]
