Cominform
The '''Information Bureau of the Communist and Workers' Parties
(), commonly known as Cominform''' (), was a co-ordination body of
Marxist–Leninist communist parties in Europe which existed from 1947 to 1956. Formed in the wake of the dissolution of the
Communist International in 1943, it did not replace that body, but instead mainly served as an expression of solidarity and as a means of disseminating
Stalinist propaganda. The Cominform initially included the communist parties of
the Soviet Union,
Bulgaria,
Czechoslovakia,
Hungary,
Poland,
Romania,
Yugoslavia (expelled in 1948),
France, and
Italy. The organization was dissolved in 1956, during
de-Stalinization.
