RUSSIAN PARTY
SUPPORTED BY
GERMAN PARTY
Exposes Role of TrOtsky
Opposition Group

MOSCOW, Aug. q Pravda
yesterday published a staggering
blast against the opposition in the
All-Union Communist Party headed
/ by Trotsky and Zinoviev, connecting
them with the Fisher Maslov-
Urbahns renegades and enemies of
the proletarian revolution. The ar
ticle was based upon the declaration
of the delegation of the German Com
munist Party attending the plenum
of the Central Committee and Central
| Control Commission of the All-Union
Communist Party.
Compelled to Fight Opposition.
The declaration points out that the
German Communist Party was COM
PEELED to joint active participation
with the All Union Communist Party
in the fight against the opposition
because that opposition was actively
giving the strongest support to the
ultra-left renegades of German Com
munism. The group of Fisher, Mas
low, Urbhans & Company are making
a crual fight against the Communist
Party. Its publication contains moth
ing but a collection of the vilest
calumnies against the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics, attacks upon
the Communist International and open
treachery and mockery of all revo-
lutionary movements in other coun-
tries.
Part of Imperialism.
This unprincipled gang with which
Trotsly and Zinoviev combine, having
lost all influence among the members
Of the Party has become an insig-
nificant but nevertheless and integral
part of the powerful international
machine that is preparing for an i'm
perialist war against the Soviet
Union. This group exists only be-
cause of two-fold support--one the
one hand by the bourgeoisie, its state
department, justice department and
police and on the other through direct
and continuous collaboration and sup
port of the opposition in the Com
munist Party of the U. S. s. R., which
supplies it with material, and arms it
with all sorts of augmentation and
guides ltS tacClcS.
Unspeakable Treachery.
Although without support from the
masses, this alliance of Trotsky and
Zinoviev with this expelled and dis
credited group acquires particularly
deep and harmful significance for
German Communism just now when
the Soviet Union is threatened with
war. In the impending war of the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
against united imperialisms the So
Wet Union will first of all rely upon
the firm confidence of the WORKING
masses of all countries, the revolu-
tionary proletarian international and
the socialist nature Of the only Soviet
Republic in the world.
The opposition denies the revolu-
tionary nature of the Soviets. 1t in
dulges in base affirmations concern
ing transition to 'Thermidoreanism."
1t puts forth accusations regarding
"Kulak regeneration" 1t denies the
international nature of the Soviets,
branding their existence in Russia as
nationalist conservative mediocrity."
The opposition also fights against
Lenin's teaching of the possibilities Of
building socialism in one country
where working class has gained
power. The block of the opposition
with the ultra-left agents of the
West European bourgeoisie is the re-
suit of anti-Leninist views on funda-
mental questions Of revolution.
Aids War Preparations.
The tactics Of the opposition are
directed not only toward the defeat
of the defense capacity of the U. S.
S. r. but signifies also the continual
ton of the policy of sabotaging the
greatest task presented by Lenin to /
the West European Communist in !
the event of a European war, namely |
turning the imperialistic war into |
civil wars against capitalism and the
establishment of the proletarian die
tatorship.
The tactics of the opposition as
we'll as the policy of the expelled |
ultra-left effectively unites in this /
way with international menshevism
and the second international.
Must Stop Such Betrayals.
The German Communists expect /
the United Plenum to make an end to
anti Communist tendencies of the OPP
position leaders by most decisive
measures. The German Party is to-
day confronted with greatest ordeals
and strongest trials in it's prepara-
ton of forces to fight in defense of
the workers and peasants govern
ment against world imperialism.
AT this moment the German Com
munist Party feels firm confidence
in its leading brother party Of the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics,
