Secretariat of the Central Committee of the AUCPB (Nina Andreeva)
On April 20, 1992, during the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Comrade Kim Il Sung in Pyongyang, with the participation of leaders and representatives of political parties from different countries of the world, the Pyongyang Declaration "Let's protect and advance the cause of socialism" was adopted . Among the first signatories of the Declaration was the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (VKPB), headed by Nina Alexandrovna Andreeva, whose role in the communist movement in the USSR was valued by Comrade Kim Il Sung. Today, this most important document of the world communist movement has been signed by more than 270 political parties and movements.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, socialism was temporarily destroyed in the USSR and a number of countries in Europe and Asia, as a result of the departure of the leading communist parties there from the Marxist-Leninist positions, the world socialist system was liquidated, which was immediately used for its predatory purposes by world imperialism.
But on earth, the outpost of socialism on the planet continues to exist and operate successfully in the person of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which was created and then headed by Comrade Kim Il Sung. The socialist ideas of Juche created by him - relying on one's own strength and independence - did not allow to undermine the ideological foundations of the leading Workers' Party of Korea, which ensured the reliable functioning of the socialist system in the DPRK.
Comrade Kim Il Sung initiated the adoption of the Pyongyang Declaration "Let's Defend and Advance the Cause of Socialism" in 1992 by the leaders of the communist, workers', revolutionary and socialist parties and movements. This Declaration gave a powerful impetus to the socialist movement in the world and its development in a new direction, confirming the idea that socialism is the ideal of mankind, calling on the progressive parties of the world to unite and fight for the revival and new upsurge of the socialist movement.
After the temporary defeat of socialism in the USSR and the socialist countries of Eastern Europe, the world communist movement was going through a deep crisis, ideological confusion and vacillation. The VKPB, analyzing the reasons for the temporary victory of the counter-revolution in the USSR, repeatedly emphasized that historically it was not socialism that was defeated, but its opportunistic distortion and perversion by the post-Stalinist leadership of the party and state.
Today, in the face of the threat of imperialism, the problem of the unity of the communist movement and anti-imperialist forces is becoming more and more urgent. As noted by N.A. Andreeva: “The first, most difficult step on this path was made by the Pyongyang Declaration of 1992… The Pyongyang Declaration indicated the main path to unite the progressive anti-imperialist forces on Earth. Today the situation demands to go further, to clarify and deepen the initial provisions as the basis for further unification, to attract new parties and movements to it. Numerous meetings of representatives of workers' and communist countries in different regions of the world create the basis on which the possibility of international unity of the exploited and oppressed arises. The adopted declarations, platforms and other documents become stages in the common front of revolutionary unity.”
