Central Bureau Communists of Poland

The Central Bureau Communists of Poland (Polish: Centralne Biuro Komunistów Polski or CBKP; Russian: Центральное бюро коммунистов Польши) was a group of Polish Communists in the Soviet Union during World War II, hand-picked by the Russian Secretariat of the Central Committee (BKK) with the aim of assisting in the takeover of power in Poland.

It was a secret structure initially, active between January and August 1944, and closely affiliated with the Soviet Central Committee of the Communist Party.

[1] The Bureau was organized between January and February 1944 based on a decree by the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) regarding the takeover of power in postwar Poland.

[3] CBKP was tasked with sovietizing the Executive Board of the Polish Patriots' Union along with the entire organization after the concept of PKN was abandoned.

In August 1944 the members of the office created the PPR Politburo which included Władysław Gomułka, Boleslaw Bierut, Jakub Berman, Hilary Minc and Aleksander Zawadzki (the last three of the CBKP team).
