Annotation
The article examines the key factors on the basis of which there was a strengthening during and after its IV Congress (November 5 – December 5, 1922): 1) the decision
at the Congress of the question of the leadership of the Communist Party of France (hereinafter — CPF); 2) increasing the powers of the Executive Committee of the Comintern (hereinafter — ECCI). Historians and materials from the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI) were involved in the substantiation. The author, on the basis of archival data, studies the activities of the so-called “Pentad” — members of the RCP(b), members of the ECCI and possessing decisive powers both in the Executive Committee of the Comintern and at its IV Congress: V. I. Lenin, L. D. Trotsky, G. E. Zinovieva, N. I. Bukharin, K. B. Radek. The article also contains an analysis of how the results of the IV Congress of the Comintern were reflected in the Soviet press (Kommunisticheskiy Internatsional magazine, Pravda and Izvestia newspapers) and in newspapers of the communist parties in France (L’Humanité) and Italy (Avanti!) — those parties that were most criticized at the IV Congress for disagreeing with the same or other directives of the Comintern. It is concluded that the powers of the ECCI were equated with the strengthening of the power of the Congress, which influenced the strengthening of control over foreign communists; in the Soviet press, all decisions of the Executive Committee of the Comintern were supported, including publications in which the authors expressed disagreement with some decisions of the IV Congress.
