League for the Liberation of the Peoples of the USSR

During the Cold War, the United States of America and the Soviet Union fought each other using psychological warfare. The United States of America's foreign strategy considered establishing ties with the
political emigration of the peoples of the Soviet Union and assisting. On February 8, 1951, US intelligence, to communicate with the emigration from the USSR (except for the Baltic countries), founded the American
Committee against Bolshevism, the main goal of which was the formation of a unified anti-Bolshevik unity, by bringing together emigrant organizations of the peoples that were part of the Soviet Union;
however, the goal was failed to be realized due to the unyielding position of Russian emigration. None of the organizations and groups of the Russian emigration recognized the changes of the borders of the
Russian Empire. They stood for the so-called `Yedinaia Rossia~ (United Russia) idea. The non-Russian emigration, which was unable to come to an agreement with the Russian emigration on the national issue, founded a separate organization, `the League for the Liberation of the Peoples of the USSR (Paris Bloc)~. It united representatives of the Georgian National Council, of the Republic of Armenia, of the Republic of
Azerbaijan and the National Committee of Azerbaijan, of the National Committee of the North Caucasus, of the Rada of the People’s Republic of Belarus, of the People’s Rada of Ukraine, of the National Center
Idel-Ural, of Turkestan Organization "Turkeli", of the Crimean National Center and of Cossacks. They collaborated with the `American Committee~. `Problems of the Peoples of the USSR~ Magazine was
published in English with their funding from 1958 to 1967. `The Paris Bloc made an emergency address to the UN twice: on September 9, 1959 and on September 15, 1960. The first was about Khrushchev's
planned speech at the UN General Assembly, and the second – was about the `decolonization of the Soviet Union.~ The organization ceased to exist in the 70s of the 20th century. Studying the activities of the
People's Liberation Union of the Soviet Union (Paris Bloc) is essential from the point of view of researching the history of emigration of the USSR. It is also important in the context of studying the role of the emigration of the people of the USSR during the Cold War.
