Description (What the record is about)
-
Anatole Vasilievitch BAIKALOFF: Russian. After a political career in Russia which included anti-Czarist activity for which he was imprisoned, possibly with Stalin, then a spell of support for the Bolsheviks followed by membership of the Revolutionary Socialist Party, BAIKALOFF found his way via Germany to the UK in the early 1930's, more or less as a White Russian emigre. Suspicions of his connection with Soviet Intelligence naturally arose, although there was no real evidence of this. During the Second World War his vehement opposition to the Soviet regime led to suspicions that he was a Nazi supporter
