Krassin Seen as Moderate Bolshevist Leader in Soviet Power
The article profiles Leonid Krassin, noting his London visit as head of a commission to ease trade relations with the outside world. It describes him as a “Moderates” figure in the Soviet government, labeled a Bolshevist, and outlines his career from student dissent to roles in the Bolshevik government and his skeptical stance toward world revolution.
