[edit] No to National Bolshevism

Karl Radek does NOT belong in any "National Bolshevism" category! He was neither a stalinist nor a facist... (Removing the National Bolshevism category.) Bronks 19 december 2005.

But of course he was a Boshevist how cooperatet with german nationalists, because they could support the nearly collapsing USSR. 84.161.118.162 18:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Russian Communists

Should Radek be in this category. He wasn't Russian? Camillustalk 12:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

But he was memer of the communist party of the USSR. An adoptet country must be as important as a country of birth. 84.161.118.162 18:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccuracies in this article

Radek was born in Austria - therefore ther is no need to use the Julian calendar for his birth date. Secondly, he didn't become a member of the Bolshevik party until 1917, when he came to Russia. Thirdly, he couldn't have joined the Russian Social Democratic party in 1898 since it didn't effectively exist until 1903 (despite having its founding congress in 1898 for reasons that can be read in the relevant article) and he didn't live in Russia at the time. He lived in Austrian Poland, where he did join the Polish Social Democracy in 1904) - this information is from the German National Archive (Akten der Reichskanzelei. Weimarer Republik). He participated in the 1905 revolution in Warsaw as a member of the Polish party. He moved to Germany and became a member of the SPD in 1907 and remained a member until 1913 when he was expelled. During the war he was in Switzerland working with Lenin, but not yet a member of the Russian party. He left with Lenin in the "sealed train" to become the Bolsheviks contact man in Stockholm. I'm going to change the article to fit these facts. --Mia-etol (talk) 14:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
