| acirce: Is he the Ilyin-Zhenevsky named in (for example) http://www.marxists.de/russrev/trud... and who wrote "The Bolsheviks in Power"? I'm interested in Soviet history, so would be nice to know. And well no, strictly the KGB didn't exist until after the death of Stalin, but I know what you mean Bill. |

| Calli: <acire> I think it is the same person. "Ilyin-Zhenevsky" is not his real name. He adopted a "nom de plume" to protect himself. This because his brother was Fyodor Raskolnikov who was involved in the uprising at Kronstadt. It makes sense that he wrote a book about the revolutionary activities. |

| pazzed paun: being on a barge during an airraid is not a good idea! <see the movie "Enemy AT the Gates" to see what a German Stuka can do to people on a open river barge. |

| pawnofdoom: I guess it's pretty interesting that this guy got to learn to play chess twice in his life. And both times, he learned it really well and became a great player. |

| myschkin: <The Russian master who had to learn the game twice> He was gassed, then shell-shocked in World War I, which took awy his memory. He had previously been champion of Geneva where he added the city's name to his own. He had to learn the game all over again, starting from how each piece moved. He was a member of an underground Bolshevik organization in high school, which led to his expusion. Forbidden to re-enter any Russian school, he went to Geneva where he performed party work for Lenin. During the October Revolution and Russian Civil War he was the head of the Moscow Reservists. He organized the first USSR chess championship in 1920. He won the first Trade Unions Championship of the USSR in 1927. In 1941, while trying to escape from Leningrad on a barge with dozens of other passengers, the Germans bombed the barge. Alexander was the only one killed. |
