An indispensable scholarly resource for students of twentieth-century communism, the Biographical Dictionary of the Comintern chronicles the lives and careers of hundreds of key figures who shaped the Communist International — the global revolutionary organization founded in Moscow in 1919 and dissolved in 1943. Compiled by Branko Lazitch in collaboration with Milorad M. Drachkovitch, this meticulously researched reference work presents detailed profiles of agents, officials, and operatives whose influence reached from the Soviet Union into the political underground of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Drawing on extensive archival research and rare primary sources, it stands as one of the most authoritative reference works on the inner workings of international communism during its most turbulent decades. Published by the Hoover Institution Press at Stanford University, this new, revised, and expanded edition represents the definitive culmination of decades of painstaking scholarly investigation into one of history's most secretive political organizations. Lazitch and Drachkovitch illuminate the human machinery behind the Comintern's directives, unmasking individuals whose roles were deliberately obscured by layers of pseudonyms and party secrecy. For historians, political scientists, and serious researchers, this volume remains an essential gateway into the shadowy world of global revolutionary politics — raising the question of how many more secrets these biographical sketches have yet to fully reveal.
