Moscow Sun Yat-sen University

[2] It was also called the Communist Workers' University of China (Russian: Коммунистический университет трудящихся Китая, romanized: Kommunisticheskiy universitet trudyashchikhsya Kitaya, KUTK).

[5] Adam Lindner (1902–58; alias Xia Dalin[6]) and Mikhail Borodin, Comintern advisors sent to China, directed the first enrollment of students.

The main missions of this university were to educate students in Marxism and Leninism, as well as training cadres for mass movement as qualified Bolsheviks.

In addition to courses, there were regular presentations on the international communist movements and the Chinese revolution by prominent members from Comintern, the Soviet Union and the CCP.

Although the Sun Yat-sen University of Moscow existed for just over five years, it produced many graduates who became highly influential figures in Chinese politics.

As the power struggle between Stalin and Trotsky reached its peak, Radek was sacked and replaced by his deputy, Pavel Mif, who was too ambitious to be limited to a university campus.
