Abstract

After the German invasion of the Soviet Union, Moscow launched an All-Slavic Committee. Its goal was to mobilize the resistance of Slavs in the occupied countries & to solicit support abroad. After the war, the committee functioned increasingly as an agency of Soviet propaganda. The Committees of Slavic Unity in East Central Europe came under growing ideological pressure. What had been an institution of Slavic cooperation gradually became an instrument of Stalinist subordination. The quarrel between the Soviet Union & Yugoslavia ended the era of Slavic cooperation.
