Hello. Any know the answer to this question?

[pay feo 2003]

Why is Eguene Varga of the Varga Dispute also known as Yevgenii Samoylovich? Did he change his name? And if so, why a Spanish name?

Thank You and Good Day.


"So long as no start is made to combat progressively and consciously the terrible perversions of socialist democracy [in the USSR]...it will not be possible to achieve communism in twenty or for that matter a hundred years."

From Eugene Varga's "Testament" circulated through Samizdat in 1970

**interesting quote because i have also read the theologist [scholars] and their explaination of why communism will not work points directly at religious entities. -fea

are you speaking on the "Moscow Varga Dispute?"

Yevgenii Samoylovich was born in Hungarian in 1897 and died in Moscow in 1964. He was official of the short-lived Hungarian Communist government in 1919. According to the book "The Rise and Fall of American Communism" published by Horizon Press. Eugene Varga did not become a member of the communist party until 1920 in Moscow where he was active in "comintern" work. He eventually became chief of the Institute of World Economy and World Politics and the editor of the institutes journal "World Economy and World Politics.
