The Argentinean odyssey of a Russian maximalist. Some touches from the biography of Boris German

Taking the case of the destiny of the Russian Revolutionary Boris Vladimirovich German, the authors reconstruct some episodes in the history of the revolutionary movement at the end of XIXth and early XXth centuries in Russia and Argentina. The outcomes of the study refute the myth about the “first husband of Nadezhda Krupskaya”and reveal the attitude of the Comintern toward Boris German. The article is based on the documents of the Russian State Archive of Social and Political History and the Central State Archive of Historical and Political Documents of Saint-Peterburg.
