Cominform, short for Communist Information Bureau, was an international organization established in 1947 by the Communist parties of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Poland, Romania, Hungary, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria. Its main purpose was to coordinate the policies and actions of Communist parties around the world and to oppose the influence of Western capitalist countries.
The Cominform played a significant role in disseminating Communist propaganda and promoting the interests of the Soviet Union during the early years of the Cold War. However, the organization became increasingly dominated by the Soviet Union, leading to the expulsion of Yugoslavia in 1948 due to its independent foreign policy and refusal to adhere to Soviet directives.
The Cominform continued to operate until 1956, when it was dissolved following the de-Stalinization process initiated by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. The organization's dissolution marked a shift in Soviet policy towards a more flexible approach to Communist parties in Eastern Europe.
