Abstract

Servants of the Soviets

Fischer, Louis | November 26, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the arrest of large numbers of high Soviet officials charged with plotting the restoration of a bourgeois capitalist regime in Russia. They had the nucleus of a party, and had actually formed a cabinet. The plot was soon discovered and easily suppressed. One can scarcely imagine that it ever had any chance of success. Conspiracies can be useful to spread a net for too militant non-Communist state specialists who insist on molding government practice to fit their principles or to discredit a party faction unpopular with the party chiefs.
