Summary/Abstract: The first post-war Slavic congress in Belgrade at the end of 1948 marks the peak of the new Slavic movement. Established during 1941 as a Kremlin project for mobilization of the Slavic nations against the Axis powers, it needs to adapt to the new reality after the War. The so long desired Slavic unity is finally achieved at that moment, thanks to the Soviet weapon. All of the Slavic nations fall into the USSR influence zone and that circumstance allows Moscow to dictate the post-war movement direction. The Bulgarian communists take their participation in the Belgrade congress to heart and start a mass agitation-propaganda campaign both during the congress and before and after it. They accept its decisions unconditionally and subsequently the Slavic Committee led by them turns out to be one of the most diligent members of the All-Slav Committee, established in Belgrade.
