Paul Dumont, The fascination of Bolshevism: Enver pacha and the party of the people's soviets, 1919-1922.
Shortly after the armistice of Moudros, the leaders of the party "Union and Progress", who bear the responsibility of the reckless policy of the Ottoman Empire since 1908, decide to flee abroad. This will not prevent them from continuing to play a certain political part. The most active among them, and probably the most ambitious, Enver Pacha, will turn, like many other leaders of Eastern nations, towards the Bolsheviks endeavouring to obtain their support in exchange for a semblance of adhesion to their cause. The different episodes of this surprising relationship (starting with the first contact established through Radek in August 1919, until the breach in October 1921, when Enver rallied the Turkestani Basmadji) are examined in this article in the light of Turkish documents recently uncovered. The question is whether the "party of the people's soviets" organized by Enver corresponded to a real political choice, or if it was merely an opportunist scheme. We do not claim to have found a definite solution of this problem but we do note that Enver's venture, in spite of the palpable inconstancy of the unionist leader, was not as incoherent as deemed by some.
