Eastern European unity under Russian communism and the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations: Conception, ideology, and conferences

This work studies the close working relationship of Eastern European and Eurasians in the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (1943-1996) and how subjugation under Russian communism strengthened the ties among various ethnic and national groups. Examination of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc‟s establishment, ideology, and dialogue of its conferences revealed the true sentiments of non-Russians within the Soviet Union. Research of the organization‟s literature, conference transcripts, and continually evolving discourse was crucial in revealing the cooperative and expectant nature of the relationship among Anti-Bolshevik Bloc represented ethnicities, their interpretation of Russian communism, and their importance to the West and Western idealism.
