Faith of the Century A History of Communism Part 2 The Two Faces (1929 1939)

After the failure of communistinspired revolutions all over the world, Stalin put the Comintern on hold and decided to build socialism in one country. But the abandonment of proletarian internationalism will never be consecrated. One of the official dogmas of the new Russian thought is antifascism. The fight against farright parties is a priority for Western communist parties, especially with the war in Spain, which gives goodwill the opportunity to go and fight within the International Brigades. In the Soviet Union, through fiveyear plans and Stakhanovism, they are trying to transform the country into a great industrial power.
