“季诺维也夫信”事件

On the Zinoviev Letter Scandal

1924年英国大选期间发生了"季诺耶维夫信"事件,英国《每日邮报》在大选前四天发表了一封事后被证明是伪造的"季诺维也夫信"。然而,该信的发表在当时造成巨大影响,它对英国大选及工党政府的黯然下台、英国社会"红色恐怖"情绪的发展以及《英苏协定》的困难进程等事件都产生了重大的影响。

The ＂Zinoviev Letter＂ was a 1924 letter that was allegedly sent from Grigori Zinoviev, president of the Presidium of the Executive Committee of the Communist International , to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Great BritairL The letter was published in the Daily Mail four days before the 1924 General Election and contributed to the defeat of MacDonald and the Labour Party. Appeared at a sensitive time in relations between Britain and the Soviet Union, this letter was closely linked to events such as the ＂red terror＂, elections as well as the Anglo- Soviet trade agreement of 8 August. However, the letter was later proved forged.
