The five years from 1914-1919 may prop- erly be called the embryonic period of the Communist International. These five years saw the first groups of Communist adherents gathering together. During the Zimmerwald conference, a Zlmmer- wald left was formed, which was .the first organized nucleus of the future Communist International. Finally, there broke out the great proletar- ian revolution In our country.
