''In 1935, Dimitrov was elected General Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Communist International. He waged a persistent struggle for the creation and consolidation of the united proletarian and [[popular front]] for the struggle against fascism, against the war which the fascist rulers of [[Germany]], [[Japan]] and [[Italy]] were preparing. He called untiringly on the masses of the working people of all countries to rally around the Communist Parties in order to bar the way to the Fascist aggressors.'' <ref> [http://www.revolutionarydemocracy.org/rdv13n2/dimobit.htm  Obituary of G.M.

In 1939, Dimitrov sent a ciphered message to [[CPUSA]] General Secretary [[Earl Browder]] explaining that the [[Communist Party of the United States]] line supporting the [[Nazi-Soviet Pact]] was not fully correct because while it broke with U.S President [[Franklin Roosevelt]]’s policy of supporting Britain and France in their resistance to Nazi aggression, it failed to take the additional step of breaking with FDR's domestic policies as well.  Browder and the CPUSA immediately made the required changes in its policies.<ref>[http://www.johnearlhaynes.org/page65.html The “Mental Comintern” and the Self-Destructive Tactics of CPUSA, 1945-1958], By John Earl Haynes, delivered at Institute of National Remembrance, Poland, 28 September 2007.</ref>
