The role of the Comintern in the foreign policy of the USSR

The Comintern is an international organization that brought together representatives of communist parties from different countries and existed from 1919 to 1943.

Not much is known about her, which has given rise to a lot of various myths (maybe not) and speculation. For example, the Comintern is often called a "powerful secret society", whose goal was to radically change the world order. Someone even considers the organization to be a "disguised secret service of the USSR."



However, be that as it may, most historians agree that the Comintern played a significant role in the foreign policy of the Soviet Union.

In particular, as some experts write, the activities of the Comintern were very successful in the former African colonies of the West. There is evidence that a significant number of leaders who eventually managed to destroy the world colonial system after the Second World War were trained on the territory of the USSR.

In addition, some experts call the Comintern an instrument of I.V. Stalin to "intimidate" the West, which was preparing for war with our country. So, through the organization on the territory of the Soviet Union, saboteurs were trained.

At the same time, the West did not know about the real scope of this program. Therefore, it seemed that in the event of aggression against the USSR, thousands of trained fighters would begin to commit sabotage on the territory of the opponents of the Soviet Union.

Finally, in the ranks of the Comintern were not only workers, but also scientists, writers, journalists, etc. The latter, as historians say, actively lobbied Moscow's interests in other countries, which had a positive effect on the Resistance movement during the Second World War.

It is worth noting that since the mid-35s of the last century, the confidence of the Soviet leadership in individual members of the organization has seriously fallen. This, in fact, became the "sentence" for the Comintern, which ceased to exist in 1943.

In turn, according to many experts, even Stalin's decision to terminate the activities of the Comintern brought positive results, reducing the degree of tension with the Western allies during the Second World War.

    even Stalin's decision to terminate the activities of the Comintern brought positive results

    The decision to terminate the activities of the Comintern is a consequence of the failure of the activities of the Comintern.

    The Comintern did not achieve its main goal - the unification of all peoples in the world Soviet Union and the prevention of the Second World War.

      And what, do you know the dates outlined by Stalin for the creation of the world USSR?
      And to make amendments and work for the USSR that existed then for the money of the USSR - - was it, as it were, "zapadlo?"

      Everyone ...... it is necessary at least a little, but be sure to pour shit on the people who worked for the sake of a great idea ..... and piss in the well dug by the ancestors .....
      Without this, even our man cannot sleep peacefully ....
      Perhaps this is the reason for what is happening now.

    And World War II did not end in 1943, did it?

    ...in the ranks of the Comintern were not only workers, but also scientists, writers, journalists, etc. The latter, as historians say, actively lobbied for Moscow's interests...

    The last ones are "etc." Did they actively lobbied? )))

    ... since the mid-35s of the last century ...

    Thank you for such a phrase! )

    The assumption that "the Comintern did not cope and was closed" is "a shot in the foot" ...... To which we are great masters, who for some reason always get in the way of our own eggs ..... For if money give, agents should work, not fool around.

    Most likely, the Comintern was dissolved because that was the condition for expanding Lend-Lease deliveries. Which were expanded precisely in 1943.

      The war against the USSR may have been unleashed as a reaction to the activities of the Comintern. The West realized that it was losing ground in the form of colonies, that the expansion of the world revolution was gaining momentum. When the threat of war against the USSR became inevitable, its leadership tried to distance itself from the idea of ​​a "world revolution", purges began inside the country and severing ties abroad. They finally broke with him in 1943, in exchange for military assistance and the opening of a second front.
      Now we have the reverse situation. The project of the globalists is a kind of Capintern. He also has a doctrine of active conquest of the whole world, he also has an extensive network of influence and the main donor in one particular country. The capintern also has a purely ideological justification, thanks to which many of its adherents continue to ruin the interests of their countries in the name of a bright globalist future. We are now fighting with him. Due to the fact that his strength lies in the indoctrination of people, he can be defeated only by entering into an ideological struggle. Fight for minds and souls. And we still think that the truth will somehow triumph on its own, hoping for the common sense of the masses of people. There is no such thing. The history of the XNUMXth century is full of examples of this. The reason for this - gaining effectiveness of the media to a critical mass (sorry for the pun). The enemy understands this well, and therefore is very jealous of the admission of our media to the West, paying great attention to the IPSO and similar activities.

        Lenin departed from the idea of ​​"world revolution" as early as 1915, when he published his work "On the Slogan of the United States of Europe....". He guessed that Russia would have to face a united Europe even then and directly pointed to this. .
        Now Russia does not have any ideology at all, but this does not in the least reduce the aggression of the West.

          Now Russia has no ideology at all,
          - but there is the idea of ​​a multipolar worldantagonistic to the idea of ​​globalists. Rather, they can be called Globetern than Capintern, perhaps.

          - while Stalin actively supported the communists in Spain, which could be perceived as a continuation of this idea. Already after the war, the support of the Communist Parties in all the countries where they were provoked the Cold War, although this support was already declared as political influence, and not as preparation for an armed uprising. They focused on political struggle, not revolution. As a result, the enemy relied on just the coup, provoked by economic difficulties.

    Now it's luxury time. There is no need to talk to anyone and no one wants to talk.

    If you look with an open mind, the USSR was a colony of the Comintern. After Stalin's death, the situation repeated itself, only instead of the Comintern, an "international workers' movement" arose.
