Katharina, M 1 Wil, St. Katharina, M 3 Wil, St. Francis , the American Ambassador , was more suspicious than Niessel, believing Sadoul to be an agent for the Bolshevik government.

Reportedly, Sadoul insisted to accompany Niessel as the latter decided to return to France, [34] but he was ordered to stay behind and assist Niessel's replacement, General Bernard Lavergne. Lavergne resented Sadoul's radicalized socialism. Nevertheless, he also pledged assistance for Trotsky, noting that the projected Red Army remained the only credible obstacle to German advances in the East. According to Ulam, such notions reveal Sadoul as "one of the world's greatest optimists: The historian also highlights Lenin's own commentary on the news: Sadoul and the remainder of the mission moved to Moscow on March Sadoul's letters to Thomas soon doubled as protests against the Allied including French intervention in support of the anti-Bolshevik White movement.

The Swiss correspondent Robert Vaucher read it and concluded: Like the American Oliver M. Sayler , Sadoul was one of the first foreign observers to compare the Bolshevik and French Revolutions , justifying the decimation of Whites, Socialist Revolutionaries , and other "puppets of the Entente", as a political expediency against counterrevolution. Lenin "didn't think much" of Sadoul, [9] and merely referred to him as an agent of "French imperialism". Over the following years, Sadoul remained a major admirer of Trotsky, celebrating his great capacity for work and intellectual achievements.

He describes Kollontai as "seductive", [23] and, Ulam recounts, left "solicitous" records of her affair with the "ferocious" Bolshevik Pavel Dybenko. During those months, Sadoul refused to return and complete his service in the French Army, [56] [57] [58] although he later claimed that he had never received his orders.

Nominally led by Pascal, it had Sadoul for its main animator. Due to shortages, it originally had only two pages per issue, and was printed on wrapping paper. The revolutionary Victor Serge , who spent time attending the Communist Group's sessions, Pascal was more inclined to support the anarchists and Kollontai's " Workers' Opposition ".

The editorial staff also refused to publish official Bolshevik statistics after Pascal discovered that these had been faked. Sadoul, who fought for leadership against Pascal, denounced the latter to the Cheka as a Menshevik and a Catholic dissident. The French commanders recorded that the effect of such work was pervasive and infuriating, leading them to capture and execute the Communist Group's Jeanne Labourde in retaliation. Upon his return to Moscow, Sadoul became directly implicated in the effort to establish the Communist International Comintern, or "Third International".

Welcoming the Asian delegates at a public rally on December 5, he voiced his hope for a socialist revolution in France, and suggested that the Communist Group take over representation of French interests in Moscow. Confirmed as the new leader, Sadoul was seconded by Henri Guilbeaux , who nevertheless resented his " Bonapartism " and complained that it was splitting the Communist Group. He contrasts the two as irreconcilable characters: Guilbeaux was a "failure", while Sadoul embodied "a great charmer, a splendid raconteur, a sybarite, and a cool careerist to boot.

Eventually, Sadoul was expelled from the Communist Group, [74] but without losing his faith in Bolshevism. Also in , he prefaced a propaganda brochure by Serge, in which he announced to the French proletariat that: The war and its consequences, the impossibility, given the resources available to us, of resolving the new problems, have cleared the way for the victorious march of the Third International. Sadoul's work for the Red Army and the Comintern was branded a treasonous act in France, particularly after revelations about his activities in the Ukraine.

In January , a source quoted by Le Petit Parisien also noted that Sadoul had no redeeming contribution to the repatriation of French hostages in Russia. Such news renewed the scandal in France, and, in October, Sadoul became the subject of a military inquiry. On November 7, , [56] [69] Sadoul was ultimately sentenced to death.

According to the Sisteron Journal , it showed that the SFIO was "duping" its voters, and adopting the "hateful principles of the Lenins and the Trotskys". The revolutionary syndicalist Georges Sorel noted at the time: Nanu noted the socialists' "brazenness" in putting up "the traitor Sadoul"; the results, he argued, showed that "the fatherland ideal" prevailed over the Comintern.

Meanwhile, Sadoul left his Ukrainian post and again headed for Berlin, where he tried to reorganize the German Communists in the wake of the Spartacist uprising. During the Comintern's negotiations with the SFIO, Sadoul approved of maintaining the unity of the party and of not stripping moderates of their membership. The decision angered Radek, who also "detested Guilbeaux for personal reasons".

In the end, both Sadoul and Guilbeaux were given half-mandates. Although still legally married, Sadoul took an official mistress. However, he criticized the Soviet regime for its bureaucracy and for keeping "the bulk of its population in misery"; Jacques Sadoul and Pierre Pascal were dismissive of such observations. Sadoul was also a defender of the Socialist Revolutionary Party 's "second group" in the Moscow show trial , a last-minute replacement for Antonio Gramsci.

The plan fell apart when Mustafa Kemal issued a warning for the Comintern not to get involved. The election marked a decisive victory for the left-wing alliance, Cartel des Gauches. Rather than promising social reforms, the Cartel focused on symbolic causes, including amnesty for Sadoul, [] which was also one of the PCF's key demands. At the time, Renoult announced that Herriot was ready to use his pardoning power in case Senate refused to pass the law.

The PCF initially took distance from Sadoul, claiming that he was merely a party sympathizer and that his return was spontaneous, but, faced with public uproar, acknowledged his membership. Thomas and Rakovsky were present as defense witnesses. The latter stated that Sadoul "never participated in Soviet governance". Sadoul was ultimately acquitted, and, reportedly, was due to participate in French—Soviet negotiations. Having obtained readmission into the bar association, he was involved in a fistfight with some of his anti-communist colleagues, [] then physically assaulted during a political rally in Angles-sur-l'Anglin.

The event ended in a brawl provoked by the far-right youth of Camelots du Roi , [] led into battle by Jean Tixier. The latter was found guilty of assault and sentenced to six months in prison. Shortly after, Sadoul prepared to leave for Greater Lebanon , where he was due to work as a lawyer for Syrian nationalists charged with sedition against French rule. His erstwhile friend Serge, who stood by Trotsky, claimed that Sadoul was corrupted, quoting his quip to the Opposition leaders: Life is so beautiful!

He privately decried Soviet rule, arguing: After unsuccessfully running in the April election for a deputy seat in the 18th arrondissement , [] Sadoul launched political accusations against Cardinal Cerretti. The latter sued him for calumny and obtained 4, francs in damages. Reportedly, their trade union was banned from the Bourse du Travail as punishment for this act. Sadoul's work also took him to Toulon , where, in , he defended in court a group of sailors that had been accused of mutiny. He only won 1, votes. Urging Prokofiev to sever his links with the Whites and presenting him with the speeches of Lenin, Sadoul inspired him to write the Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution.

They both worked as artists and scenic designers. His own conversations with Nikolai Bukharin were being used by the prosecution as evidence of Bukharin's "bourgeois" ideas. The latter defended himself against Sadoul's allegations, including that he was a careerist who had supported violent French anarchism.
