For a Lasting Peace, for a People's Democracy! was the press organ of the Information Bureau of the Communist and Workers' Parties] ('Cominform').[1][2][3] The first issue was published on November 1, 1947, from the Yugoslav capital Belgrade.[4][5] The last issue to be published from Belgrade came out in June 1948.[6] From July 1948 the newspaper was subsequently published from Bucharest, Romania, after a decision of the Second Cominform Conference to move the editorial office out of Belgrade.[6][7][8][9] Published weekly, it was issued in English, French (Pour une paix durable , pour une democratie populaire!), Russian (За прочный мир, за народную демократию!), Bulgarian (За траен мир , за народна демокрация!), German (Für dauerhaften Frieden, für Volksdemokratie!), Czech (Za trvalý mír, za lidovou demokracii!), Hungarian (Tartós békéért, népi demokráciáért!) and Polish (O trwały pokój, o demokrację ludową!) language editions.[2][3] The newspaper sought to promote exchanges between communist parties.[3] Initially there had also been a Serbo-Croat language edition of the newspaper.[4]
The publication was banned by the French government in early 1951, after which a new French-language edition titled Paix et démocratie ('Peace and Democracy') began to be published in France.[10]
The publication of For a Lasting Peace, for a People's Democracy! ended in April 1956.[6]
