"It was a great joy for me to receive a few lines from you and to go back to the old days when we fought together against the imperialist war. I remember most vividly our last talk before you entered prison as class conscientious objector. It is our duty to defend conquests of the revolution against those who wish to destroy them. All this talk about Tyranny and persecution is also being set into motion by the [?] of the revolution. We are only doing our duty and concluding by asking him to transmit his greetings to ‘Jack Lawrence from the Arsenal, to Councillor Ayler Miss Susan Lawrence and the other Friends.
With my best wishes
Yours faithfully - George Tchicherine"
Übersetzt:
"Es war mir eine große Freude, ein paar Zeilen von Ihnen zu erhalten und in die alten Zeiten zurückzukehren, als wir gemeinsam gegen den imperialistischen Krieg kämpften. Ich erinnere mich noch sehr lebhaft an unser letztes Gespräch, bevor Sie als Kriegsdienstverweigerer ins Gefängnis kamen. Es ist unsere Pflicht, die Errungenschaften der Revolution gegen diejenigen zu verteidigen, die sie zerstören wollen. All dieses Gerede von Tyrannei und Verfolgung wird auch durch die [?] der Revolution in Gang gesetzt. Wir tun nur unsere Pflicht und bitten ihn abschließend, seine Grüße an Jack Lawrence vom Arsenal, an Stadträtin Ayler Miss Susan Lawrence und die anderen Freunde zu übermitteln.
Mit besten Grüßen
Mit freundlichen Grüßen - George Tchicherine"
Weitere Infos zur Person
Profession:
(1872-1936) Russian Marxist revolutionary and a Soviet politician who served as the first People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs in the Soviet government from March 1918 to July 1930.
Year of Birth: 1872
Georgy Vasilyevich Chicherin was born on November 24, 1872, in an aristocratic family in Tambov, Russia. He studied law at the University of St. Petersburg and later became involved in revolutionary activities, joining the Bolshevik party in 1903.
Chicherin played a significant role in the Russian Revolution of 1917, serving as a diplomat for the Bolshevik government. He negotiated various treaties and agreements with foreign powers in an attempt to secure recognition for the new Soviet regime.
As People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs from 1918 to 1930, Chicherin was responsible for managing the Soviet Union's foreign policy during a tumultuous period of war and reconstruction. He was known for his pragmatism and diplomatic skill, often being described as a "master of ambiguity."
Chicherin's tenure as Foreign Minister was marked by his efforts to improve relations with Western powers, including the signing of the Treaty of Rapallo with Germany in 1922. However, he also faced challenges, such as the failure to gain recognition from the United States and other major countries.
In 1933, Chicherin was removed from his position as Foreign Minister and given a less prominent role in the Soviet government. He died on July 7, 1936, in Moscow, leaving behind a complex legacy as a revolutionary, diplomat, and statesman.
Despite his mixed reputation, Georgy Vasilyevich Chicherin remains a significant figure in Russian history, remembered for his contributions to the early years of the Soviet Union and his efforts to navigate its foreign relations during a turbulent period of international isolation and ideological conflict.
