Pauker's "Moscow faction" (so called because many of its members, like Pauker, had spent years in exile in Moscow) was opposed by the "prison faction" (most of whom had spent the Fascist period in Romanian prisons, particularly in the Doftana Prison).
Paukerovej "Moskovská frakcia" (mnohí jej členovia, ako Paukerová, strávili roky v exile v Moskve) sa postavila proti "Väzenskej frakcií" (väčšina z nich strávila obdobie fašizmu v rumunských väzniciach, najmä vo väzení Doftana).
