Talk:28 Bolsheviks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Kampen argues that the ‘28 Bolsheviks’ were a faction just in Moscow, not having the importance within Chinese Communist Party that Western histories have assumed. That Zhou Enlai was more involved in Mao's eclipse than anyone liked to admit later.

"Mao was deprived of power after Zhou Enlai’s arrival in the Soviet and before the arrival of the Central leadership in the following year." (Page 61, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and the Evolution of the Chinese Communist Leadership)

Zhou had been a much more important leader from early on. He assumed that he knew better than Mao. Then conceded that he did not and supported Mao's leadership for the rest of his career.
