Far Eastern Bureau of the Comintern

The Far Eastern Bureau of the Comintern was an organ of the Communist International established in 1921 to develop their political influence in the Far East. The name was used in subsequent years, but the continuity of the organisation cannot be proven.[1]

The organisation was originally founded as the Far Eastern Bureau of the Russian Communist Party, when the central committee of that organisation sent Vladimir Vilensky-Sibiryakov to Siberia as plenipotentiary for Far Eastern Affairs.[2] Grigori Voitinsky was soon sent to China, where he supported the foundation of the Communist Party of China.
