Soviet Peace Committee

The Soviet Peace Committee was founded in August 1949.

Soviet Peace Committee had four chairmen:

The Soviet Peace Committee ceased to exist with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Member of the Presidium of the Soviet Peace Committee (since 1950)

Another, Irina Krivov, was allowed to address a gathering of the Soviet Peace Committee.

In the early stages CCI had to partner with the Soviet Peace Committee.

But the Soviet Union already had an official peace group - the Soviet Peace Committee, which claimed to have 80 million members.

He also served on the Soviet Peace Committee and Bureau World Peace Council.

In 1992 remnants of the Soviet Peace Committee were reorganized into the Federation for Peace and Conciliation.

During this time he was also First Deputy Chairman of the Soviet Peace Committee, a KGB foreign propaganda front organization.

Under Mikhail Gorbachev the Soviet Peace Committee developed bilateral international contacts "in which the WPC not only played no role, but was a liability."

He echoed Soviet pronouncements on international relations, and last year was chosen to fill one of the places in the Parliament reserved for the official Soviet Peace Committee.

The former KGB officer Sergei Tretyakov said that the Soviet Peace Committee funded and organized demonstrations in Europe against US bases.

Last June the Soviet Peace Committee, the slick official organization responsible for mustering "spontaneous" rallies against American militarism, announced that its next venture in activism would be an environmental group.

Twentieth Century and Peace, a monthly journal of the official Soviet Peace Committee, has printed Mr. Solzhenitsyn's 1974 essay, "Live Not by Lies!"

Wednesday night Soviet television broadcast a telephone conversation between Mr. Willson's wife, Holly Rauen, and Genrikh Borovik, chairman of the Soviet Peace Committee.

The other member of the "Banner of Hope" tour, as the mission was called, was Olga Yakouleva, a 12-year-old whom the Soviet Peace Committee had chosen to represent her country.

Shimon Peres, the Israeli Labor Party leader, conditionally accepted an invitation from the Soviet Peace Committee to visit Moscow, a spokesman for the Israeli Government said yesterday.

The WPC was directed by the International Department of the Soviet Communist Party via the Soviet Peace Committee, a WPC member.

By the mid 1980s the Soviet Peace Committee "concluded that the WPC was a politically expendable and spent force," although it continued to fund the WPC up to 1991.

The Soviet Peace Committee supported anti-war campaigns against the wars or militarization of the non-communist, Western countries, but failed to condemn similar actions originating from the USSR or its allies.

The creation of Mr. Batovrin's small disarmament group had been regarded in Moscow as a challenge to the peace initiatives taken by Soviet authorities and to the officially sanctioned Soviet Peace Committee.

The official establishment has kept a built-in advantage in the new congress, by reserving 750 seats for trustworthy organizations like the Communist Party, the Young Communists League, the Soviet Peace Committee, and professional unions.

As the Soviet Peace Committee was the conduit for Soviet direction of the WPC, this judgement represented a downgrading of the WPC by the Soviet Communist Party.
