Trotsky’s Comintern Conspiracy – The Case Of Osip PyatnitskyGrover Furr — October 20, 2024 10:30 AM Pacific Time


Starting on December 1, 1934, when Leningrad Party leader Sergei Kirov was assassinated, leading to capture, trial and execution of a Party member, Leonid Nikolaev, a number of conspiracies shook the Soviet Union’s Communist Party.  As revealed in the three Moscow trials, although Trotsky’s followers hotly contest it to this day, the 1929 exiled former Party member and once the Commissar of War, Leon Trotsky, was at the center of these conspiracies; Furr and Bobrov’s research is based on newly released files from the archives after the fall of the USSR.  In his new book, Furr and Bobrov examine the conspiracy within the Comintern by studying the investigation file of Osip Aronovich Pyatnitsky, head (secretary) of the Executive Committee of the Communist International (ECCI) from 1923 to 1935. Pyatnitsky’s investigative file contains a great deal of evidence, allowing the reader to see for the first time the vast extent of this combination of interconnected conspiracies.


Grover Furr is a professor of Medieval English literature at Montclair State University and a widely-published author focusing on Stalin and the USSR.  [His faculty website:  msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/  ]

We examine the conspiracy within the Comintern by studying the
investigation file of Osip Aronovich Pyatnitsky, head (secretary) of the
Executive Committee of the Communist International (ECCI) from 1923 to
1935, and related materials.

These conspiracies were connected to Leon Trotsky. All the conspirators
knew that Trotsky was collaborating with Nazi Germany and militarist
Japan for espionage and sabotage against the USSR. They knew that
Trotsky was plotting to lead an armed rebellion against the Soviet
government to aid any invasion by Germany or Japan.

Pyatnitsky’s investigative file contains a great deal of evidence that
for the first time allows us to see the vast extent of these
interconnected conspiracies.

Our book includes a transcript, translated into English, of Pyatnitsky’s
confessions and of Pyatnitsky’s indictment, trial, and sentence.
