The World Peace Council (WPC) was set up by the Soviet Communist Party in 1948–50 to promote Soviet foreign policy and to campaign against nuclear weapons at a time when only the USA had them. The WPC was directed by the International Department of the Soviet Communist Party via the Soviet Peace Committee,[1] a WPC member. The WPC and its members took the line laid down by the Cominform that the world was divided between the peace-loving Soviet Union and the warmongering United States. From the 1950s until the late 1980s the Soviet Union used numerous organizations associated with the WPC to spread its view of peace. They included:
Christian Peace Conference[2][3]
International Federation of Resistance Fighters[4]
International Institute for Peace[2][3]
International Organization of Democratic Lawyers[4]
International Organization of Journalists[4]
International Union of Students[4]
World Federation of Democratic Youth[4]
World Federation of Scientific Workers[4]
World Federation of Trade Unions[4]
Women’s International Democratic Federation[4]
World Peace Esperanto Movement.[2][3]
