| | Grigory Zinoviev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Zinoviev was re-elected to the Politburo, but his ally Kamenev was demoted from a full member to a non-voting member and Sokolnikov was dropped altogether, while Stalin had more of his allies elected to the Politburo. | | | Nevertheless, Zinoviev and Kamenev helped Stalin retain his position as General Secretary of the Central Committee at the XIIIth Party Congress in May-June 1924 during the first Lenin's Testament controversy. | | | Zinoviev, an ambitious man, was not willing to accept his demotion and did much to undermine Trotsky's position within the Party between 1918 and 1925. |

| | Remember that (1) Blair's guys have a huge presence down there in the Shiite areas of southern Iraq, and (2) British rightwingers were the author of the infamous 1924 "Zinoviev Letter" which, by apparently associating Ramsey Macdonald's Labour Party with the machinations of the Soviet Comintern, lost Labour the British General Election of that year. | | | The United States Government has the highest confidence in the letter's authenticity. | | | The role the Zinoviev Letter played in that election has been extensively studied in Britain, including in recent years. |

| | An analysis of G. Zinoviev's letter to the I.W.W. |
| | It can best be exposed by looking at the events of the Tenth Party Congress one year after Zinoviev wrote his letter. | | | Clearly, the "SUPREME POWER" in Russia was, again, considered irrelevent for those who did hold the real power. | | | Zinoviev was a leading member of the Communist Party who took an active part in the Russian Revolution, Civil War and party meetings. |

| | The document was publicised during the frenetic atmosphere of an election campaign, with Britain's first Labour government up for re-election. | | | The Zinoviev letter of October 1924, supposedly written by the head of the Communist International (Comintern), urged British communists to organise themselves into revolutionary cells within the British army. | | | For it induced a deep feeling within the party that the Tories were abnormally vicious liars, and victimhood and paranoia came to play a part in Labour politics. |

| | The Zinoviev letter contributed to the landslide defeat of Britain's first Labour-led government in a general election two weeks later, although historians still argue about how much weight it actually carried with voters. | | | Grigori Zinoviev, a member of the Soviet Politburo and head of the Comintern, allegedly wrote the letter, which urged British Communists to mobilize "sympathetic forces" in the governing Labour Party, the trade unions, and the armed forces in preparation for a socialist revolution. | | | Michael Smith of the Daily Telegraph believes London's agent was Boris Bajanov, who had been Stalin's private secretary and was then secretary to the Politburo in 1923-1924. |

| | Purported to have been written by Grigori Zinoviev, president of the Comintern, the internal communist organisation, it called on British communists to mobilise "sympathetic forces" in the Labour party to support an Anglo-Soviet treaty (including a loan to the Bolshevik government) and to encourage "agitation-propaganda" in the armed forces. | | | The letter, almost certainly forged, was leaked to the Daily Mail on the eve of the 1924 general election which led to the fall of the first Labour government under Ramsay Macdonald. | | | Ms Bennett said it was wrong to conclude the scandal brought down the Macdonald government which had already lost a confidence vote and Liberal support on which it depended was disappearing. |

| | The 'Zinoviev Letter' was purported to have been sent by the Head of the Comintern, Grigori Zinoviev, to the Communist Party of Great Britain. | | | Copies were sent to MI6 and the Foreign Office, the Tory opposition headquarters and to the Daily Mail which published it. | | | The Labour Prime Minister, Ramsay McDonald, unwisely delayed breaking the news of the letter to the Press, and his somewhat sheepish behaviour raised serious doubts about the Labour Government and its attitude to the Soviet Union. |
