Lenin's death at the beginning of 1924 coincided with an exhaustive
search by the USSR for a modus vivendi with the capitalist world.
In laying the foundations of peaceful co-existence, priority was
given to the cultivation of relations with Britain. This study
examines the British government's various responses to the Soviet
overtures. The scope of the work ranges from Labour's de jure
recognition of the Soviet Union at the beginning of 1924 to the
Conservatives' severance of relations in May 1927. The bulk of the
study is set against the background of rapidly deteriorating
relations and traces the unsparing measures employed by the
Russians to forestall an open breach. Equal attention is paid to
the Soviet government's straightforward diplomatic moves and to
activities under the auspices of Comintern and the Soviet trade
unions which rallied support without regard to frontiers or
international protocol. The main aim was to strengthen the security
and economic recovery of the Soviet Union, but revolutionary
aspirations remain on the agenda.
