1957 International Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An International Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties was held in Moscow, Soviet Union, November 16–19, 1957.[1] The meeting was attended by 64 political parties from all over the world.[1] The meeting was the first of its kind, marking a new form of forum for the world communist movement following the disbanding of the Communist International (Comintern) and the Information Bureau of the Communist and Workers' Parties (Cominform).[2] Four additional parties (including the Communist Party USA) attended clandestinely out of fear of repercussions at home.[3]
