a Communist party bureaucrat or functionary. The term has been applied to any mundane and uninspiring personality in a political machine. The term originates to describe a mindless left-wing big government political operative in the Russian Communist apparatus.1 Members of the apparat (apparatchiks or apparatchiki) were frequently transferred between different areas of responsibility, usually with little or no actual training for their new areas of responsibility. Thus, the term apparatchik, or “agent of the apparatus” was usually the best possible description of the person’s profession and occupation.2
