Gescheiterte KOMINTERN-Renaissance
Failed Renaissance of COMINTERN

Summary/Abstract: The great conference of 64 communist party delegations from all parts of the world, which met in Moscow in the first half of November 1957, ended in bitter disappointment for the Soviet initiators of this event: their intention to combine the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the Russian October Revolution with the founding crowning a new umbrella organization of the "international workers' movement" under the sign of the hammer and sickle and thereby restoring the unity of world communism within a fixed formal framework could not be realized for the time being due to the strong resistance of the Yugoslavs, the Poles and other negotiating partners. The tangible results that were finally left are not all that much compared to the enormous effort and the original objective.
