Happy New Year 2000!

Dear friends:

This January, start of the new millennium for humanity, may we take this opportunity and wish each one of our readers health, personal happiness and may this new century also be the start of the reshaping of the world and a movement towards Socialism.

The upcoming struggles will be immense and the imperialist forces shall try hard to speed up their goal of world domination, headed by US Imperialism, which is on the verge of instituting a policy of fascism, as all the latest events in the world at the end of 1999 have shown.

We have tried over the last 8 years to present to our worldwide readers a desire to call a world conference in order to elect an International Council for Friendship and Solidarity with the Soviet People.

The Organizing Committee plus the Editorial and Advisory Board of NSC, after consulting with all of our Soviet friends, decided that it shall be better to call this Conference in May of year 2001 in Minsk, Byelorussia. Why the Postponement? The ongoing problems in the Republics of former Soviet Union. plus the volatile situation developing on its territory and the uncertainty of whether there SHALL be a presidential election in Russia in July of year 2000, or also, whether there shall be declared a dictatorship under General Lebed, or even whether the presidential election shall be allowed to take place -- all these uncertain factors prompted all of us to hold the International Conference on May 1-3 in Minsk, capital of Byelorussia!

We are in the process of a financial campaign to raise $40,000 towards this Conference because, the logistics demand that it shall be conducted in English, Russian, French and Spanish languages.

There is very great interest in this upcoming Conference, since the danger of US Imperialism is growing; the unfortunate lack of a unified strategy of all the Marxist-Leninist and Communist parties within the Soviet Union and also in the international Communist movement, makes the holding and setting-up an International Council of Friendship and Solidarity with Soviet People imperative!

Best Wishes to our Soviet Friends!

Support Is Growing!

Below we list the Communist parties, Socialist and Marxist-Leninist Parties, newspapers and journals, organizations that have adopted the "Call" to establish an International Council when the First World Congress is called in Minsk, Byelorussia in May of year 2001.
