P. Dumont, Bolshevism and the East. The Turkish communist party of Mustafa Suphi. 1918-1921.
The history of the origins of the Turkish communist party coincides to a large extent with the life story of its first leader, Mustafa Suphi. Interned in Russia during the First World War, as an Ottoman subject, Mustafa Suphi seems to have then established his first contacts with the Bolsheviks. After the October revolution, we find him in Moscow, as chief editor of Yeni Dünya and at the head of the Turkish section of the Central Bureau of the Peoples of the East, dependent upon Stalin's Commissariate of Nationalities. In March 1919, he represents Turkey at the First Congress of the Hlrd International. During the years 1919 and 1920 he travels throughout Crimea and Turkestan with the object of establishing Moscow's control over the Muslim sections of the party. He arrives in Baku on the 27th of May 1920 and takes charge of the « Turkish communist party » created there by certain Unionists. He reorganizes it and joins to it a paramilitary section. At the end of 1920, he travels to Turkey. His intention is to go to Ankara and to negotiate with Mustafa Kemal the settlement of his party in Anatolia. But nationalists of Oriental provinces, Karabekir in particular, will view very badly this initiative and provoke on his way anti-communist "popular manifestations" that will lead, end January, to his assassination (together with fourteen companions) off the Trabzon coast, under circumstances that were never completely elucidated.
