In this episode, we’ll dive into the Cominform (Communist Information Bureau), founded in 1947, and explore its pivotal role during the early Cold War. We’ll discuss how the Soviet Union used the Cominform to coordinate and control the political and economic systems of its satellite states. Operating under the direct influence of Moscow, it reflected Joseph Stalin's response to what he saw as Western efforts to unite against communism. As we explore, we’ll examine how the Cominform became a key tool for the Soviet Union to exert control over its Eastern European allies, solidifying its influence during this tense period in history.
