The Cultural Position of the Communist Party of USA after the End of World War II

Summary/Abstract: Following the end of World War II the Communist Party of the United States of America (C.P.U.S.A.) was caught in the cultural cold war between Soviet Union and USA. CPUSA, an obedient follower of the C.P.S.U., adopted the tactics and language of Andrei Zhdanov, the chief soviet ideologue of the period. Greatly exaggerating the peril of the American communists, institutions like the F.B.I. and C.I.A., managed to impose for a while their own form of cultural dogmatism onto the American society, indirectly helped by the activities of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC).
