Afternoon Team
I continue with the Harry Luke archive.
Scan shows a document described as a 'Bolshevik Proclamation' Circa 1919 I think in French but not sure.
Can anyone help or shed light on this document please.

it's in French. It looks to me like a press report or briefing document on three topics relevant to Bolshevik matters. The first reports a proclamation to the comrades, workers and 'peasants' of Kiva and Bukhara by the Commissar for Foreign Affairs. The British Imperialists are mentioned... the second reports a Siberian Newspaper has published a new Plan of the Bolsheviks, and the third reports that a newspaper in Rotterdam reports on Bolshevik intrigues in India. In each case the source of the three reports is quoted as being 'Russagent' which would have been a press bureau.
Let me know if you want a full translation!

that's exercised the brain on a grey day!
As you'll see, some things haven't changed in a 100 years!

Thanks Neil
Much appreciated. I may have further material from the Luke archive in French, still working my way through sorting out.
