The People's Bureau

The People’s Bureau was a government agency created by the Soviet Union in the late 1910s to manage relations and cooperation with communist movements and governments around the world. Its role was to promote Soviet interests, support communist parties, and coordinate international efforts to spread communism. Essentially, it functions like an embassy but for other countries’ communist organizations, helping to organize aid, political strategy, and propaganda. The Bureau aimed to extend Soviet influence globally, fostering unity among communist groups while acting as a bridge between the Soviet government and revolutionary movements abroad.
