The bitter trial on soundness
The article is based on documentary materials from Siberian archives of Russian intelligence service. By example of a Chinese student's life, the problem of influence of political repression in Soviet Russia on the Chinese communists' fates is investigated. Being captivated by the ideas of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and the Chinese revolution leader Mao Zedong, he came to Russia in 1928 to study communism. Having a vague idea about the fundamentals of Marx-Lenin political theory by 1930 the student was considered to be a member of an underground "Trotskyist" organization and was convicted. He had to spend the following 30 years in Russia with a surname 'Soykin' suffering arrests, trials and prison.
