The 21st Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union took place in Moscow, USSR, from January 27 to February 5, 1959. It was a mid-term or "Extraordinary" Congress, timed so that Khrushchev could try to consolidate his power over rivals after the attempted coup of the so-called "Anti-Party Group" in 1957. Khrushchev delivered a report on the plan of development of the national economy of the USSR in the 1959 - 1965 years. Consequently, the Seven-Year Plan of economic development was soon after adopted.
