잡지 <<콤무니스트>>와 국제선 공산주의그룹 = <<Communist>> and the International Communist Group

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The magazine, «Communist» was published by the Korean committee of the East Secretariat of the Comintern. In other words, the ≪Communist≫ was a bulletin put out by the Korean committee, whose members were referred to as the 　International communist group　. Therefore, researchers who have regarded the members of this group as belonging to the Tuesday Group have been mistaken.
International Group was the only communist group which was recognized by the Comintern following the dismantlement of the Korean Communist Party. Just as it had recognized only the Korean Communist Party during the 1920s, the Comintern recognized only the International communist group in the 1930s. The International communist group was not a party but a group. As the International communist group was not qualified to be a member of the Comintern, it could not hold any position or represent Korea at the Communist International.
Nevertheless, domestically the International communist group had a powerful influence within the Korean revolutionary circles. The theories and policies published in the «Communist» influenced the Korean socialists during the Great Crisis. As the International group was based on the authority of the Comintern, the «Communist» had a more powerful influence over Korean socialists than any other bulletin.
