The Communist Information Bureau, a Soviet-led organization (1947-1956) coordinating communist parties across Eastern Europe and the USSR.
Acronym from 'Communist Information' bureau. Cominform was the successor organization to the Comintern, designed to coordinate communist movements after World War II.
Cominform was Stalin's way of controlling European communist parties after WWII—it dissolved after Stalin's death in 1956, but it shows how the Cold War was fought partly through information control and coordinated propaganda, not just weapons.
