USSR – Colombia: The Inter-Party Dimension of Relations

Abstract

The author analyzes the history of the development and evolution of inter-party relations between the CPSU and the Colombian Communist Party in the post-Comintern period. Particular attention is paid to the role of the International De-partment of the CPSU Central Committee in conducting the foreign policy of the USSR in Latin America. The author concludes that inter-party relations between the CPS and the CPC were built primarily around global issues on the agenda of the world communist movement, with the issues of Soviet-Chinese and Soviet-Chinese-Cuban rivalry and the topic of armed struggle in the Latin American region especially high-lighted.
