Bolshevization

Quality 0.00 · 0 views · Updated 1 month ago

Bolshevization of the Communist International has at least two meanings. First it meant to independently change the way of working of new communist parties, such as the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) in the early 1920s. Secondly was the process from 1924 by which the pluralistic Communist International (Comintern) and its constituent Communist parties were increasingly subject to pressure by the Soviet government in Moscow. With the development within Soviet Communism of Marxism–Leninism under Joseph Stalin, this latter Bolshevization became more clearly Stalinization. The autonomy of national Communist parties was downplayed and the Comintern became a tool of Soviet foreign policy.
