Comintern policy after 1924 was determined by Russian party struggles

Evidence

The two years in which Gramsci led the P.C.I. can be seen as closing an epoch: the epoch opened by the October Revolution in which individual communist parties elaborated their theoretical analyses and their strategies in terms of one basic premise—the actuality of the revolution. This is not, of course, to suggest that many communists did not thereafter, notably during the “third period”, believe that revolution was on the immediate agenda. … What it does mean is that from early in 1924 Comintern policies and Comintern politics had become increasingly bound up with the struggle in the Russian party, and by 1927 Russian developments became the determining factor. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 169
