Prel rlinary Noto
This list of Comintern personnel is simply a roster, not a biographical
register, and at the same time a personality index to the text (not appon-
dices) of the previous paper, The ThJ.rd (Go riunist) Internatonal: Structure
and Functions. It is confined to personnel who have at one time or another
held positions in the headquarters or in the field organizations of the
Executive Committee of the Third International, and to selected members of
the P rofintern, the International of Seamen and Harbor ?1iorkers, and the
Young Communist International. In several cases individuals are included
in the list because other facts (training in a Corintern school or extended
residence in the USSR) make it likely that they hold Comintern assignments
even though no additional positive evidence is available.
The available material is far too limited to construct a complete list
of all personnel who actually worked in the Comintern apparatus, especially
in its clandestine agencies. The varying reliability, clarity, and exact-
ness of the material are responsible for the following inadequacies of the
list attached:
a. Frequent absence of first names.
b. Inability to distinguish cover--na_nes from true names.
c. Omissions of country of origin.
d. Inconsistencies in the spelling of foreign names.
e. Frequent uncertainty as to exact assignment, or dates of
assignment,
The absence of adequate checking facilities accounts for the lack of infor-
nation on the current status of the majority of personnel listed, This
roster is accordingly highly tentative, and is subject to extensive correction,
addition, and excision. -
Numbers appearing in round brackets immediately after the name entry
in the first column refer to the pages of the Structure and Functions study
cited above.
