David Robin Watson, The Krasin-Savinkov meeting of 10 December 1921.
The significance of the meeting between B.V. Savinkov and Krasin in London on 10 December 1921 described in the letter from Savinkov to Pilsudski printed in vol. XXVI ( 1 ) of the CMRS, can be further illuminated with the help of material from British government sources. It appears that the meeting was probably not due to Krasin, but to Savinkov, and through him to Winston Churchill, the British colonial secretary. It was part of Churchill's campaign to resist the attempts of the Prime Minister, Lloyd George to arrange a rapprochement with the Soviet government, on terms that Churchill thought were unnecessarily favourable to the latter. Ironically Lloyd George, after his own meeting with Savinkov drew the opposite conclusions to those Churchill intended. The British material makes it improbable that Savinkov was in any sense a Soviet agent at this moment. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
