From the Classics: the 80th Anniversary of the Founding of the Democratic Army of Greece, 1946

May 15, 2026

Since February 14, when the Declaration of the KKE (CP of Greece) on the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) was published, a multifaceted series of events and initiatives organized by the KKE  and KNE (Young Communists of Greece) has been launched, and it will continue to unfold throughout the year. The DSE was born out of the necessities of the class struggle after the liberation of Greece from the threefold fascist occupation (German, Italian and Bulgarian), and during its three-year course some of the brightest pages in the history of the class struggle in our country were written, as it was then that the power of the bourgeois class was challenged for the first time.

Within the framework of this rich activity, the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE has released the following video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfAvFdbjbLk
