1920년대 중반 코민테른과 민족통일전선-1926년 3월 결정서에서 1927년 4월 결정서까지-

Abstract

This article traces the interaction between the Comintern and the Korean communists during the Japanese colonial rule focusing on the series of communication regarding the Jeonguhoe Manifesto. The leadership of the Comintern which proclaimed by the decision titled “the Resolution on the Korean Question,” had an absolute impact on the Korean communists. The course of actions taken by the Korean communists was circumscribed by the Comintern’s supreme control. The Korean communists, on the other hand, had some leeway for autonomy because the Comintern’s order did not prescribe a blow-by-blow strategy for the struggle. This process of communication between the Comintern and the Korean communists can be summarized as “announced by the Comintern -> interpreted by the colonial Korean communists -> approved by the Comintern.” This article argues that the Korean communists’ interpretation of the March 1926 “Resolution on the Korean Question” crystalized into the Jeonguhoe Manifesto. Furthermore, the April 1927 “Resolution on the Korean Question” demonstrated the Comintern’s approval on and addendums to the Jeonguhoe Manifesto. From this perspective, the Jeonguhoe Manifesto, which has been understood as an eccentric discussion raised by Ahn Gwangchon and his group, should be regarded as a part of the aforementioned communication process.
