History
The Comintern made first contact with Japanese revolutionaries in 1920. It helped establish the Japanese Communist Party.[1] Both the Comintern and the JCP had close relations. The JCP had financial ties with both the Comintern,[2] and the Soviet government.[3]
The Soviet Union solicited working-class Japanese to study at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East (KUTV),[4] known as "Kutobe" by the Japanese.[5]
Many Japanese activists who resided in the Soviet Union became victims of Stalin's Great Purge.[6]
The relationship between the JCP and the Soviet Union deteriorated by the 1960s, when Pro‐Chinese members became the majority of the party.[7]
