Krestintern
크레스틴테른
An international peasant organization founded under the Comintern in October 1923. It sought to build a united front with radical peasant parties in Eastern Europe and Asia, but achieved little beyond the brief affiliation of the Croatian Peasant Party in 1924. Vasil Kolarov served as its chairman from 1928, and although the organization was formally dissolved only in 1939, its effective activity ceased around 1928–1930 with the onset of forced collectivization in the USSR.
