According to Arthur Gorovei, the Labor Party should be regarded as George Diamandy's "final prank". In June 1917, following the renewed offensive of the Central Powers, Diamandy became a refugee to Russia, where his brother Constantin was Romanian Ambassador. He was trapped on Russian territory during the October Revolution, events which his brother downplayed in his reports to Brătianu. The Revolution took Russia out of the war and signaled the start of a Russian–Romanian diplomatic war: Constantin was held in captivity by the Council of People's Commissars, and eventually expelled.
