Communist Workers Party of Bulgaria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Communist Workers Party of the Bulgaria was a council communist party in the Bulgaria. It was founded in September 1921, and was modelled after the Communist Workers Party of Germany. It was founded at a conference in the city of Slivnu, a centre of the textile industry, January 7-January 10, 1922. The leadership of the party was based in Varna. The party had around 1000 members, and published Rabotchnik Iskra (Workers Spark).[1] The party was affiliated to the Communist Workers International.[2]

The party was divided along the same lines as its German counterpart, with a Sofia-based faction close to the Essen group and the Varna-based faction close to the Berlin group. The party was disbanded as a result of repression in April 1925.[1]
