обком = областной комитет - regional committee
ВКП(б) = Всесоюзная Коммунистическая Партия (большевиков) - Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks)

Thanks a lot Friendy

It should be remembered, by the way, that it was ВКП(б) from 1925 up to 1952. After this it was КПСС (CPSU — Communist Party of the Soviet Union).
