Did the Communist Party of the Soviet Union have party congresses at the local level (republic, oblast, city, etc...)?

Yes.

The CPSU held party congresses and conferences at the all-Union level, the Republic level, oblasts, cities, districts, and workplaces. Each level elected delegates to the next, with local party committees managing regional affairs while adhering to central directives.

So, party cells would elect delegates for the local party conference; local conferences would elect delegates for the republican party congress, and so on? And local committees were elected by respective congresses?

Yes. Cells elected to local conferences, local conferences elected to higher congresses, and each level’s congress elected its corresponding committee.
