Hari...the "popularization" of the term "Third Period" really occurred after the collapse of the world banking system in 1929. I've seen this in the pages of the U.S. Daily Worker. I haven't read Bukharin on this (source would be good if it's in English or German). My grade school assumption is that this is what it referred to. But I stand corrected as the "insurrectionist" aspect of the Comintern came about at the 7th World Congress...am I correct here? But what I infer from your short essay here is that you seem...seem to blame Bukharin for coming up with the concept of the "Third Period". You don't explicitly state this but it is implicit. I would argue "so what?". It is just a categorization of the period in which he was writings. Did Bukharin or Zinoviev come up with the total abandonment of the United Front? Did they come up with the idea of "Social Fascist" targeting the German Social Democracy? I actually don't know anything about this so your help here would be appreciated.
