Communists, Forward!

On May 21 of this year in Moscow there took place an Initiative Conference of communists and non-party people who are dedicated to the resurrection of the Soviet Union. This important conference looked at and also discussed the question of the contemporary situation in Russia plus the situation inside the communist movements, and the question of the need to unite all of these forces into a single Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

This conference was attended by representatives from the following

plus other left and workers societies and movements.

Observers were also present from these former Soviet republics -- Ukraine, Latvia, Georgia, Azerbaijan as also from the regions of Tatarstan, North Ossetia, Kursk, Saratov, Samara, Vladimir and others.

The conference adopted by a majority of votes a Declaration and an Appeal to all people of Russia. There was elected a Coordinating Committee of 24 people who were then instructed to take steps to organize and promote the absolute necessity of forming one united Communist Party of the Soviet Union and to call another conference to finalize the details and adopt the CPSU statutes. The next party conference shall take place in September of this year.

COMMENT

We wish this Initiative Committee (one of many attempts at unity) success in their efforts at unity. Now that Putin is in power and putting into effect the bourgeois plans to divide Russia into 7-9 separate regions (which in itself is anti-constitutional) and the last meeting with Clinton finally concluded the complete domination by USA and NATO over the future of Russia and thus over the former Soviet Union! This attempt at UNITY could be the last real chance to mobilize the Soviet people before it is too late!
