Grigory Kirdetsov

[6] Shortly after his release he returned to Italy, where he translated a number of works from Italian into for Russian publishing houses, among them Antonio Labriola's Reformism and Sindicalism.

[8] Kirdetsov also worked for a variety of publications in pre-revolutionary Russia, including Mir Bozhiy, Vestnik Evropy, Russkaya volya and the Jewish Encyclopedia.

In the spring of 1918, he left Bolshevik-held territory himself, moving to Revel, where from July 1918 he edited Svobodnaya Rossiya ("Free Russia"), the official organ of the North-Western Government of general Yudenich.

[20] He left this position in October 1925 and relocated to the USSR, where he was employed by the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, writing articles for the periodical Mezhdunarodnaya Zhizn ("International Life"), especially about Italy.

[24] However, on 7 February 1938 Kirdetsov was again arrested by the NKVD of Krasnoyarsk Krai and sentenced to serve 8 years in Norillag for "taking part in the anti-Soviet right-Trotskyite organization".
