The '''Communist Party of Great Britain''' (CPGB) was founded in 1920 and dissolved in 1991. It was founded at the behest of V.I. [[Lenin]] and was formed by the merger of the British Socialist Party, the Socialist Labour Party (based on 'Red Clydeside') and the Workers' Socialist Federation, run by [[Sylvia Pankhurst]]. From the start it received support and orders from the [[Soviet Union]], directed through the [[Moscow]]-based standing organisation of the Third Communist International, better known as [[Comintern]].
