"This is a good start for the international communist movement!" Andropov's speech was met with thunderous applause from 5,000 delegates from all over the world in the Kremlin Auditorium. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Communist Parties of Western Europe, represented by France and Italy, as well as China, became observers of the Comintern. Like the vast majority of the parties that supported the Soviet Union, these communist parties also expressed their support.

"It's the best outcome for us, and if you really get involved, it might be a hindrance for us, which is not a good thing!" With a smile on his face, Serov clapped his hands and communicated with Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov next to him, "In order to ensure that the situation does not get out of control, it is better not to let these parties have decision-making power." ”

"It's a joke that a group of bourgeois parties still want the right to a coalition of the working class." Marshal Ustinov recognized, "It is better that we do not join in ourselves than let them in." The General Political Commissar nodded imperceptibly, expressing his full approval of the military's opinion, until in his heart, this organization was for the Soviet Union, but he could not say it explicitly.

Therefore, the result of the deliberations of the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union was that the Communist Party of the Soviet Union would not enter the World Congress, the highest organ of power of the Comintern, and at the same time it would prevent Italy, France, and China from entering it and living in decision-making power.

The Soviet Union would support the Communist Parties of small and medium-sized countries and establish the highest organ of power in the Comintern. At the same time, the parties in these countries are also very easy to be controlled by the Soviet Union, and as long as the Soviet Union wants to do this, no one else can rob the Soviet Union.

In the subsequent elections, the Soviet Union followed this model, nominating Afghanistan, Vietnam, Kurds, Iraq, Iran, and the GDR to the World Congress to form the highest organ of power in the Comintern.

Because France, Italy, and China had their own reasons, they were only observers of the Comintern, and they were doomed to see the intentions of the Soviet Union, and they could not prevent the Soviet proposal from passing. Soon the elections to the World Congress, which included the Communist Party of Cuba, were completed, and the vast majority of its members were hardcore pro-Soviet parties.

The USSR is still there, and this influence, of course, is Soviet, and no other party can snatch it away. Adept at using this influence, at least in the midst of the socialist movement, Moscow is not afraid of any challenger. The world communist movement of the eighties no longer had such a recognized leader, and since there was none, no one could dictate to the Soviet Union.

The news of the official founding of the Comintern spread throughout the world at a very rapid pace. In response to the International Democratic League, the Comintern, which had been disbanded for forty years, was resurrected. With a single move, the Soviet Union made the Communist and Workers' Parties of more than 170 countries around the world members of the Comintern.

The news of the founding of the Comintern was combined with the founding of the International Democratic League some time ago. caused a great earthquake in world politics, although many political parties understood that the Soviet Union had in its hands the departments that did the original work of the Comintern. But nominally the Soviet Union was no longer so aggressive, and the difference between the existence and non-existence of the Comintern was very great.

When it appeared, it directly gave the Soviet Union a platform to lead the communist parties of other countries. Fierce opposition ensued, and representatives of the French and Italian communist parties returned home under intense pressure from their home countries. After all, compared with China, the French and Italian communist parties, whose main line is parliamentary struggle, have other parties pointing fingers.

"We must join, or Italy will be isolated by more than one hundred and seventy fraternal parties!" In response to this accusation, the chairman of the Italian Council of Ministers, Behringer, said, "We cannot be isolated, and the accession of Italy and France will make the Comintern more tolerant and not become a Soviet one." ”

"Whether all countries admit it or not, the two-tier state of the world today is very solid. Italy needs to have good relations with both the United States and the Soviet Union, and we have our own value. I believe that both the United States and the Soviet Union should be aware of this, and the successive leaders of the Soviet Union should understand the role played by Italy in the development of the Soviet state. From the time of Khrushchev and Comrade Brezhnev, it has continued to the present. In the face of accusations from the Catholic Democrats, Behringer retorted, "Gentlemen and Gentlemen of the Catholic Democrats, please understand that we are all Italians in any case. After the Cold War came to power from Reagan, relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were in sharp decline, and our two parties needed to unite at this time. ”

"Prime Minister Behringer, I personally agree with you." Piccoli, the leader of the Catholic Democratic Party, was silent for a moment and said, "From the founding of the International Democratic League to the founding of the Comintern, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union is rapidly escalating. Europe seems to have entered the embarrassing state of the fifties because of the intensification of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. Twenty years after the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis, we have felt the dark clouds of war in the sky. ”

If anything, the strength of the USSR is completely different from that of twenty years ago. The weakest time of the Soviet Union was in the post-war decade, but this weakness was largely masked by the victory on the Chinese battlefield. Now, decades later, the Soviet Union has barely struggled out of the death of tens of millions of people and is at the peak of hard power.

"So protecting Italy is a shared responsibility of the Italian Communist Party and the Catholic Democratic Party." Behringer whispered in Congress, "I know that many Catholic Democrats have some misgivings about the Communists, and now I ask you to look at the world now, and we can no longer have obvious inclinations towards the United States and the Soviet Union as we did in the past." The balance of power has changed, and we can't see who will emerge victorious. ”

"That is why I decided to become an observer of the Comintern, we cannot be isolated, we cannot join any side, and the protection of Italy's own interests is the common aim of our two parties, in which we do not take sides." Behringer's words were forgiven by Catholic Democratic MPs, including Piccoly.

The same scene was seen in France, where the communication between the French Communist Party and the French Socialist Party was even less tense.

"What a momentum!" After hearing the representative of the French Communist Party recount the situation at that time, French President François Mitterrand could not but admire that the international communist movement is not as turbulent as it was 10 or 20 years ago. But as soon as the banner of the Soviet Union was raised, more than 100 parties immediately supported it. At least in terms of momentum, it is much stronger than the International Democratic Alliance of the United States.

There was no shortage of people in the Soviet camp, and even many countries controlled by the Soviet Union were important sources of immigrants from Western Europe. With a population and an area, Mitterrand felt that the Soviet Union and the United States would not be able to decide the winner in a short period of time, but what about the future? It's hard to say who will be the winner.

Any country is willing to stand with the ultimate victor, and if the Soviet Union now surpasses the United States in all aspects, who will be friends with the Americans, how can a hillbilly on a remote continent be compared with the Soviet Union, which controls Eurasia.

It can be said that as long as the Soviet Union and the United States show a visible gap, don't think that other countries will sink together with the thighs of the United States, and the traitor trigger conditions for NATO are just a little higher. It does not mean that the old imperialists have a discipline.

"How can the French Communist Party and the Italian Communist Party speak the same tone as the Socialist International? When the time comes, I think we should consider assessing the nature of these two parties. Serov tilted his head and put the newspaper on the table, and when the French Communist Party and the Italian Communist Party had just returned home, it was really a storm, and all kinds of accusations followed.

It's almost like two parties attending the Moscow Congress is tantamount to treason. Even the General Political Commissar felt that a blow was about to be launched against the Communist Parties of Western Europe? I have to say that he thought of many famous historical events at that time, such as the Capitol arson.

If there was a real wave of persecution against the Communists in Western Europe, although it would be a bit embarrassing to say so, Serov would be happy to see it, and both parties were almost the same as the Socialists. Being persecuted can also make the communist movement sympathetic, and can even be used to rally the hearts and minds of the people on the side of the Comintern, a good thing, an absolute good thing.

Unfortunately, this will never happen in Western Europe, where the United States and the Soviet Union are most fiercely contested, in addition to the millions of troops along the route, including the media, morality, and so on. If there is such a persecution campaign in Western Europe that is intolerable to the average person, the enemy will be the happiest.

If it were in places like South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union and the United States, the KGB and the CIA would have been fighting a long time ago, and the followers of the enemy would have been absolutely killed. In Western Europe, however, the two countries had to pretend to be hypocrites.

When the General Political Commissar felt sorry for himself, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko flew to Belgrade by plane and began his visit to Yugoslavia, as a détente visit between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, Gromyko's visit made the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union attach great importance to it, and the current situation in Yugoslavia is relatively delicate.

Three years after Tito's death, the model he devised for the running of the republic is still in effect. Serov knows very well, you must know that the two met a few months before Tito's death, and then Tito made a series of emergency adjustments, mainly to guard against the Soviet Union, but unfortunately he couldn't adjust anything for a few months.

The Soviet Union still began to try, to communicate with this little brother who has not been very obedient, this is the last disobedient little partner, if the Yugoslav problem can be solved within a few years, the Soviet Union will solve all the problems within the camp.
