WORLD'S TRADE UNION MOVEMENT
How do we, an International which has all kinds of groups and tendencies, consider the Russian revolution? To the Profintern, the Russian revolution is the beginning of the world revolution, as the first step, and one of our main aims is to defend and strengthen the Russian revolution.
We conducted a decisive struggle against the anti-soviet and anti-Communist elements, which have formerly been members of our International and later on organized their own international. These groupings left the Profintern because we did not take an anti-soviet and anti-Communist position. This alone is enough to define the character and physiognomy of the Profintern in regards to the world revolution in general and the Russian revolution in particular.
