The most important role in this process belonged to the Comintern. The author substantiated a position that the activity of the Comintern was aimed at the overcoming the contradictions within the left forces against the background of the intensified political struggle. The result was the idea of creating a united front of the left forces. However, according to the author, the scale of the tasks could not but lead to splits and deviations within the communist parties and workers organizations.
