History

Creation

Since 1945, the the USSR seeks to extend its political power.

The creation of Cominform by Stalin seems an answer to the American Marshall plan, refused by the democracies of Eastern Europe (under the Soviet pressure). It is during this meeting that the Doctrine Jdanov was marked.

The participation of the PCF

Also, during the third meeting, which proceeds from June 25th to 28th 1948 with Bucharest, Cominform considers the Communism Yugoslav of Tito like far away from the Russian vision. In fact, Belgrade is excluded and a purification " anti-titiste" intervenes among all members of the organization.
