From 1959 to 1963 its vice president was Eŭgeno Bokarev. In 1983, it began to collaborate with the World Esperanto Association (UEA).
During the Cold War, MEM was able to conduct official activities on behalf of Esperanto in East Bloc countries on the condition that it must support their Communist governments and the Soviet viewpoint.[1]
