Kommunizmuscsúcs

Kommunizmuscsúcs, meaning "Communism Summit" in Hungarian, refers to a significant meeting that took place in Moscow in November 1960. It was officially known as the Meeting of Representatives of Communist and Workers' Parties. This gathering brought together delegates from 81 communist and workers' parties from around the world. The primary purpose of the summit was to address growing ideological and strategic divergences within the international communist movement, particularly between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.

The summit was convened amidst the Sino-Soviet split, a period of increasing tension and disagreement between the two leading communist powers. Key issues debated included the nature of imperialism, the path to socialism, and the strategy for achieving world communism. The resulting document, the Declaration of 1960, aimed to reaffirm the unity of the communist bloc and outline a common program. However, the declaration ultimately failed to bridge the ideological chasm between Moscow and Beijing.

While the summit presented a facade of unity, it marked a deepening of the Sino-Soviet split. The disagreements highlighted at Kommunizmuscsúcs would continue to shape international communist politics for decades to come, leading to the eventual fragmentation of the movement. The event is considered a pivotal moment in the history of the Cold War and the global communist movement.
