The Emergence and Impact of the Comintern

In anticipation for our two-part conversation on the Sino-Soviet split, we're reposting the episode we did laying the groundwork.

Danny and Derek welcome Jeremy Friedman, Marvin Bower associate professor at Harvard Business School, for a discussion about the Sino-Soviet split. They talk about the early days of the revolutionary states’ relationship, the differences in their ideologies, the external forces shaping each nation’s trajectory, the heyday of their cooperation, and the beginning of the fissure in the mid-1950s.

Grab a copy of Jeremy’s great book Shadow Cold War: The Sino-Soviet Competition for the Third World!
