Georgi Dimitrov (1882-1949) was a high-ranking Bulgarian and Soviet
official, one of the most prominent leaders of the international
Communist movement and a trusted member of Stalin's inner circle.
Accused by the Nazis of setting the Reichstag fire in 1933, he
successfully defended himself at the Leipzig Trial and thereby
became an international symbol of resistance to Nazism. Stalin
appointed him head of the Communist International (Comintern) in
1935, and he held this position until the Comintern's dissolution
in 1943. After the end of the Second World War, Dimitrov returned
to Bulgaria and became its first Communist premier. During the
years between 1933 and his death in 1949, Dimitrov kept a diary
that described his tumultuous career and revealed much about the
inner working of the international Communist organizations, the
opinions and actions of the Soviet leadership, and the Soviet
Union's role in shaping the postwar Eastern Europe. This important
document, edited and introduced by renowned historian Ivo Banac, is
now available for the first time in English. It is an essential
source for information about international Communism, Stalin and
Soviet policy, and the origins of the Cold War.
