Excerpt from "Report on the Intelligentsia, February 15, 1925"

8. Intraparty Developments

Recently, there has been noted activity from Myasnikov, who has established illegal connections with Medvedev, an agent of the Fourth International. Medvedev has very recently begun working in Moscow in the spirit of the "Workers' Group" at the 2nd Cable Factory, where cells of the "Workers' Group" and the "Group of Workers" had previously existed in succession. Connections between the Fourth International and Russia have also been observed, reportedly mediated by Sofia Krylenko. According to some information, she recently delivered a provocative report on the situation in Soviet Russia at the last congress of the Fourth International in Berlin. According to our data, she also contributed about 4,000 rubles to the treasury of the Fourth International. In Soviet Russia, we have not identified any cells of the Fourth International, and based on the information available to us, this organization seems to be stewing in its own juices, posing no significant danger to us at present.

In Kungur, we have detected an attempt to create an organization called "Bolshevik." This attempt originates from a number of individuals expelled from the Russian Communist Party (RCP) and one RCP member who has established ties with anarchists. This organization exhibits a syndicalist tendency and lists among its goals "the struggle against the bureaucratic apparatus of Soviet power and the RCP." According to the latest (as yet unverified) information, "Bolshevik" allegedly has connections with Moscow.

In addition, in several locations, we have noted attempts to form groups consisting of individuals expelled from the RCP. These groups manifest their activities through the issuance of anti-party proclamations (almost always handwritten). These groups tend to dissolve quickly; however, it must be noted that expelled RCP members, particularly in rural areas, frequently display activity of a clearly counterrevolutionary nature.
