Several members (such as Khrushchev and Zhdanov) played an important part in directing partisans, but this activity was never more than a minor part of their duties. It is possible that a few top officials engaged in full-time partisan direction, such as Strokach, were on the fringe of those enjoying access to Stalin, however. ) There is considerable indirect evidence that the regime did not ordinarily assign even its middlerank officials to the hazardous business of commanding partisan or underground organizations behind the enemy lines.
See Fyodorov, The Underground Committee, especially pp. ] Other oblast officials assigned to partisan and underground work had nearly always held lower ranks. One official apparently was suffering from tuberculosis when assigned to underground work. [Suprunenko, pp. ] There is reason to suspect that some officials assigned to command partisans were "expendable" in another sense. A possible example was S. A. Oleksenko, who acted as head of the KamenetsPodolsk underground obkom and partisan detachments from the spring of 1943 until the arrival of the Red Army.
As such, they resembled the forces which for generations had sallied forth from the towns to impose the demands of central authority upon the reluctant peasant mass. In 1943 and 1944 the composition of the partisans changed sharply. The Red Army contingent declined absolutely as the German antiguerrilla operations took their toll. On the other hand, the partisans absorbed tens of thousands of peasant youths. Some of these were fugitives from the Ostarbeiter program, or, more commonly, men whom the partisan officers drafted to prevent the Germans from filling their labor pools as well as to replenish the partisans' own ranks.
