Extract

The actual rules governing the organization of the Comintern and affiliation with it were promulgated by the Second World Congress held in Leningrad and Moscow in the summer of 1920. The constitution, statutes and theses of the Comintern, adopted by the Second Congress, testify to the Bolshevik character of the organization. The manipulation of representation from the Sections of the International demonstrate the method and indicate the extent of control over the organization that was exercised by the Soviet party.
