코민테른의 1928년 12월 결정 초안과 조선 대표단

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify how the December decision of Comintern was drafted. In the past, it has been misrepresented that the opinions of Koreans were unilaterally excluded. According to existing research results, if the Comintern bureaucrats decided, the Koreans had to obey them uncritically. But the truth was different. In the course of discussions to develop the draft, the Koreans submitted three opinions: the opinion to acknowledge the December Party’s superiority, the opinion to acknowledge the legitimacy of the February Party, the opinion on the founding of a new communist party. There was little disagreement between them on political issues. On the other hand, there were sharp differences between them on organizational issues. Eventually, those who insisted on creating a new party won the final victory. The draft of the Korean Commission, dated November 14, 1928, contained the argument for the creation of a new Korean communist party. Those who made the decision were the coalition of non-mainstream group within the Korean Communist Party and the the emerging bureaucrats of the Comintern, including Kuusinen.
