In another article Tunkin traces the evolution of the principle of Socialist internationalism as follows: It first evolved as the principle of proletarian internationalism, i.e., as a principle of the international workers’ movements; with the formation of the Socialist commonwealth of nations and through a consistent application of this principle to relations between the Communist Party-dominated governments of Eastern Europe, it acquired new historical contents as it now took up its new rô1e as a principle of inter-state relations; as these principles found their way into inter-state agreements and treaties, they acquired yet a new role as principles of a new type of international law without necessarily losing their original character as principles of inter-Communist Party relations.
