Good man and revolution. Notes of an eyewitness who was forgotten to shoot: Igor Duel

Stalin, 1927: “Of all the extraordinary organizers of the party I know, I know – after Lenin – only two that our party can and should be proud of: I.F. Dubrovinsky, who died in the Turukhan exile, and Ya. M. Sverdlov …”. The future dictator understood that involvement in Dubrovinsky (Innocent, monk) raised his authority in the eyes of the old party members. And they appreciated the monk extremely high – Nogin: “Innocent enjoyed the reputation of a comrade who could be put in our party immediately after Lenin.” And even moreover, he was “a recognized leader.” How bad we know our own story! The writer Igor Duel fills the next gap in the historical education of Russians.
