		But by 1947 a combination of conservative revival in France, the emerging Cold War between the United States and the Soveit Union, and growing U.S. pressure on France to eliminate Communists from the French government as a condition of American reconstruction aid led Premier Paul Ramadier to dismiss his Communist ministers from the government.
		The Communists' refusal to continue support for the French colonial reconquest of Vietnam on one hand and a wage-freeze during a period of hyper-inflation on the other were the immediate triggers to the dismissal of Thorez and his colleagues from the ruling coalition in May 1947.
		Although the Communist under Thorez leadership continued to enjoy a dedicated popular following, the French political system operated to isolate and marginalize them for the remainder of the the regime.

	CHNN 16, Spring 2004, Review Essay: Recent Work on French and Belgian Communism
		Successor to the longstanding PCF general secretary Maurice Thorez, after the latter's death in 1964 Rochet offered the prospect of a Khrushchev or even Dubcek-like modernisation of the PCF and its opening out to the changing social and political realities of post-war France and the particular challenge of alliance-building.
		In Thorez's case, the functions of the conventional biographer had to some extent already been met by Philippe Robrieux, though with the opening of the archives there is surely now scope for a more definitive study.
		Similarly, while the significance of Thorez's participation in the 1923 and 1925 CGTU congresses is rightly pointed out by Sirot, the CGTU's close identification with the PCF means that politically speaking this was a rather different sort of grounding in union work from that provided by the TUC and its affiliates in Britain.

		Fresh from a visit to Moscow and with a telegram of instructions recently arrived from the Comintern, Maurice Thorez, the party leader, used his closing speech to start the delicate process of reversing policy by calling for unity of action with socialist workers to be achieved 'at any price"'.
		The latter demanded that the sit-in-strikes be called off, and the Communist Party was, therefore, compelled to choose between, on the one hand, remaining loyal to the interests of the workers and the programme of the Popular Front on the one hand, and, on the other hand, maintaining the unity of the Popular Front.
		Thorez's slogan of 'unity of action at all costs' made the choice a foregone conclusion in a party the leadership of which had long covertly deserted Marxism-Leninism and embraced opportunism.
