The Cominform: Tito's International?

Abstract

Although it is now recognized that the Stalin-Tito dispute was sparked off by Tito's desire to intervene decisively in the Greek civil war, the ideological context of that decision has never been fully explored. This article suggests that, since the early days of the Second World War, Tito had been committed to establishing a popular front ‘from below’, i.e. under clear communist control. He did this not only in Yugoslavia, but used his position in the war-time Comintern to persuade other communist parties to do the same. As a result he was dissatisfied with the all-party coalition governments established with Stalin's consent throughout Europe in 1945. Tito favoured a communist offensive, while Stalin, aware of the international position of the Soviet Union, favoured a more cautious approach. When Stalin summoned the first meeting of the Cominform in September 1947 and made Tito its de Facto leader, Tito mistakenly assumed he was to head a new international committed to a revolutionary offensive not only in Eastern Europe but in Greece and even Italy and France.

10 Thus although in mid-August 1941 other parties were invited to join a national liberation committee, it was made clear such a committee would not be based on parity and compromise, but unity under communist leadership, see Petranovic, B., Revolueija i kontrartvoludja u Jugoslaviji, 1941–45 (2 vols Belgrade, 1983), 1, 216.Google Scholar Tito's terms for a deal with his nationalist rival Mihailovic were similar: liberation committees had to be extended to areas controlled by Mihailoviè, see Wheeler, M., Britain mi tht war for Yugoslavia, 1940–1943 (New York, 1980), p. 88Google Scholar.

11 Thus talk of ‘strengthening the worker-peasant core’ of the committees all but disappeared and the watchwords became solidarity and sacrifice for victory, not a soviet republic. Similarly goods were requisitioned in the name of the war effort, not on the basis of class, while executions became the sole preserve of the army, not the liberation committees. Although the official party line was for many yean that these ‘sectarian excesses’ were few and far between, more recent research makes clear they were indeed frequent, see Petranoviè, B., ‘O levim skretanjima KPJ krajem 1941g. i u prvoj polovini 1942g.’, in his Istodografija i rtvoluaja (Belgrade, 1984).Google Scholar The whole tenor of the Uiice republic, established in Serbia from September to November 1941, was one of radicalism with huge celebrations in November 1941 for the anniversary of the October Revolution, see Glilic, V., Uzicka Republika (Belgrade, 1986)Google Scholar.

He stressed the need to involve the masses, taking everyday tasks seriously and thereby winning popular acclaim, the best party cadres had to be sent to the liberation committees because party leadership was not about giving orders, but winning support. However, he went on, party control was essential. While members of other parties could be involved on committees, no ‘enemies’ were to be allowed into the ruling apparatus.

16 The PCI's base in Italy was rather tenuous until 1942. However emigre groups had already begun to issue proclamations as early as summer 1941 in the name of a National Front of Struggle to be created ‘from below’.

While Togliatti insisted the principle was sacrosanct, there is ample evidence from the north that it was ignored.

25 Thus when the KKE founded PEEA in March 1944, it was modelled on the Yugoslav AVNOJ and was clearly a challenge to the Government-in-Exile, see , Loulis, The Greek communist party, pp. 91103.Google Scholar Although the communists appeared only to have two ministers in this PEEA government, they in fact had five as three ministers were secret party members, see Vlavianos, H. ‘The Greek communist party: resistance or revolution?’, in Judt, T. (ed.), Resistance and rvolmtun, P. 179Google Scholar.

26 Because Soviet representatives were in contact with the PEEA delegation at the Lebanon Conference of May 1944 before establishing direct links with the mountain-based partisans in July 1944, the KKE found itself following a confusing dual policy for part of the summer.

While London's initial instructions came from the PCF leader Jacques Duclos, the Yugoslav connection was used from early on. Thus as early as October 1939 the KPJ representative in Paris had helped return to Moscow the leading Comintern activist, Jan Sverma, who was to die during the Slovak uprising, see , London, On trial, p. 133.Google Scholar During his journey to Moscow at the end of 1939, Sverma attended the second conference of the Slovene CP: his favourable report did much to secure Tito in his position as party leader, see Swain, G.

34 Much has been written about the nature of Yugoslav support for the December events, and in particular the telegram sent by the KKE liaison officer with the KPJ informing the KKE leadership the ‘Tito and the Bulgarians’ advised resisting the call to disarm ELAS. The date of this telegram's arrival with the Greek communist! is disputed: , Woodhouse (The struggle, p. 99)Google Scholar gives 97th November and Loulis the 30th, which appears on the text of the telegram reproduced in his The Greek CP, p. 168. Recent scholars have doubted the ‘Cold War’ view that the Yugoslavs instigated the uprising, seeing its origins in Papandreou's duplicity, see Vlavianos, H., ‘The Greek communist party’, p. 188.Google Scholar However, the support of Belgrade must have given the KKE confidence, particularly the erroneous prediction in the telegram that Britain would not intervene.

54 The Times 24 Dec. 1947. The paper's correspondent speculated that the talks broke down because the non-communists resented Yugoslav interference. However, this point is rather contradicted by a further claim in the article that the Yugoslavs were opposing the formation of a Greek democratic government because of the risk of international repercussions. Reading between the lines, it seems that the Yugoslavs were cautious about backing a government which was not broad enough to win over some degree of international recognition.

64 , Djilas, Vlast, p. 105.Google Scholar A conference of East European communist parties was planned for July 1947 to discuss the Marshall Plan, but Gottwald's decision to Tall into line on rejecting Marshall Aid made the conference unnecessary, see Djilas, M., Conversations with Stalin, (London, 1969), p. 100Google Scholar.

65 The fullest account of the founding conference of the Cominform is still that of Reale, E., Nascila del Cominfom (Rome, 1958).Google Scholar However, both Dedijer's Jiovi prilozi and Strbac's Suiob give new information. The source for both is, apparently, the minutes taken at the KPJ central committee meeting immediately after the conference which discussed its achievements; the minutes themselves are reproduced by Dedijer. Strbac reproduces the telegram inviting die KPJ to attend, and the relevant extracts from Kardelj's Mtmoirs, containing a summary of his speech. Amongst the new information provided by these sources is dear evidence of the hostility of die Polish communists to the whole venture. They asked the Russians quite bluntly what die purpose of the meeting was, and on being told an ‘information co-ordination bureau’ insisted that it, and all its activities, be legal. The Poles felt such a bureau should meet ‘only when necessary’ rather than every three or four months as the conference agreed. However, die Hungarians, Bulgarians and Yugoslavs joined in resisting die Soviet suggestion that die Cominform should have a permanent council: it was too reminiscent of die old Comintern executive. More details on die Polish atdtude to die Cominform can be found in Toranska, T., ONI: Stalin's Polish pmppets (London, 1987), pp. 282–3Google Scholar.

66 , Djilas, Vlcst, p. 113.Google Scholar The inclusion of Slansky amongst those singled out by Zhdanov is worthy of comment. In 1952 die trial of the CPCz General Secretary would shake the communist world. His role at die foundation conference of die Comintern suggests that while not a ‘Titoite agent’, diere were grounds for linking him to die policies of both Tito and Zhdanov.

69 Kardelj, cited by , Strbac, Sukob, p. 244.Google Scholar The Yugoslav and Soviet delegations were not agreed about everything. Their perspectives on Greece were still very different. Kardelj endorsed the Greek struggle, but Zhdanov not only ignored the topic in his speech but tried to prevent corridor discussion of it, see , Reale, Nascita, p. 122Google Scholar; and , Djilas, Vlasl, p. 113Google Scholar.

70 It is clear from Kardelj's memoirs — cited by , Strbac, Sukob, p. 244Google Scholar — that Kardelj consulted Tito by telegram on the issue of Belgrade becoming the headquarters. This appears to have happened on the night of 26–7 September. On this occasion, if on no other — and it seems likely that they were in touch throughout the conference — Kardelj had time to brief Tito before he made his speech to the Second Congress of the People's Front on the 27th.

71 I am quoting from the version published in the KPJ daily Borba, on 28 Sep. 1947. Tito's speech was given wide international coverage; even an English edition was produced. See Borba, a Nov. 1947, 27 Dec. 1947.
