Everything about Mikhail Borodin totally explained
Mikhail Markovich Borodin (Михаи́л Mapkóвич Бороди́н) (
July 9 1884,
Yanovich, modern
Belarus—
May 29 1951, somewhere in
Siberia) was the alias of
Mikhail Gruzenberg; he was a
Comintern agent.
Borodin joined the
Bolshevik party in
Imperial Russia in 1903. In 1907, he was arrested and chose to depart for the
United States in 1908. While there, he attended classes at
Valparaiso University. After the
October Revolution, he returned to his motherland in
1918, working in the foreign relations department. From 1919 to 1922, he worked in
Mexico, the United States and the
United Kingdom as a Comintern agent.
Between 1923 and
1927, Borodin was representative of the Comintern and the
Soviet Union to the
Kuomintang government in
Canton,
China. He was a prominent advisor to Dr.
Sun Yat Sen at that time. Following his suggestion, the Kuomintang opened itself to
Leninist ideas, communists were allowed to join, and the
Whampoa Military Academy was established.
After Dr. Sun Yat Sen's death in 1925, he remained an advisor to the Kuomintang government until
1928, when
Chiang Kai-Shek purged communists and sought to have him arrested. Borodin returned to the Soviet Union in 1928 and worked briefly as editor of the English language
Moscow News.
In
1949, he was accused of being an enemy of the Soviet Union and was sent to a
gulag in
Siberia, where he died two years later.
Kenneth Rexroth mentions Borodin in his poem
Another Early Morning Exercise, as well as
André Malraux in his first novel
Les Conquérants (published in 1928).
