Abstract
Kang Sheng (1898–1975), head of all the secret services of the Chinese Communist Party, in 1933–1937 was deputy head of the CCP delegation to the Comintern. But until recently very little was known about his life in the Soviet Union since his personal dossier, which is held in the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History, was not accessible to researchers. Only now has it become possible to acquaint readers with documents from this file to shed light on Kang Sheng’s activity in this period. The information presented in this article demonstrates that Kang Sheng was not an independent figure in the organization of purges against Chinese Communists working in the Soviet Union. There is no doubt that the head of the CCP delegation to the Comintern, Wang Ming was the first violin in these dirty matters; as for Kang, as a rule, he played the role of his henchman.
