Document Summary
1927 war scare: there was the fear of capitalist encirclement that had been prevalent since the civil. Surrounded by both real and not real enemies: all russian cooperative society (arcos) raid. Their offices were raided because the british thought they were messing around in the british trade union politics. Leads to tensions between the british and the soviets. Lead to beliefs that there might be a war: voikov was the ambassador to poland and he was assassination by a russian migr . Revenge murder because he was part of the assassination of nicholas ii. Furthered the belief that there could be a war because poland was allowing things like this to happen: united front ends. United front tied china to the communists and then the communists were rounded up and murdered. War was not as imminent as it "seemed" but it was publicly put forward that the russian nation needed to prepare for war.
