Zinoviev was a member of the Bolshevik faction from its creation in 1903, and one of Lenin 's closest associates.
When it came to real action, Zinoviev shrank from the proposed revolutionary coup and on October 10, 1917, he and Kamenev were the only two Central Committee members to vote against Lenin on the issue of staging the armed action which was to place the Bolsheviks in power.
Zinoviev is remembered in Britain as the putative author of the ' Zinoviev Letter ' which caused a sensation when published on October 25, 1924, four days before a general election.

 Gregory Zinoviev
From this time on Zinoviev and Kamenev were always closely associated.
Zinoviev remarked in 1926 that their mistake in supporting Stalin against Trotsky in 1923 was even greater than their mistake in 1917.
Trotsky in turn later remarked that their error in capitulating to Stalin in 1928 was even worse, since in doing so they showed the way for younger, less authoritative Bolsheviks.

Korsch 's stance had ramifications which were unpalatable to the official Communist Party structure - not least, casting the Party's own ideological weaknesses as the only material explanation for the failure of the revolution.
Published in 1923, Marxism and Philosophy was bitterly attacked by Party faithful and other leftwing opinionmakers, including Karl Kautsky and Gregory Zinoviev.
Zinoviev famously said of Korsch and his fellow critic Georg Lukacs, "If we get a few more of these Professors spinning out their theories, we shall be lost".

 Politics | Scandal or smear?
On the eve of the 1924 general election, which the incumbent Labour government under Ramsay McDonald expected to win, a letter appeared in the Daily Mail and the Times purporting to be from Gregory Zinoviev, chair of Comintern, the international communist organisation.
The prime minister, who had recently signed a trade agreement with Russia, asked the security services to sit on the letter, but it was leaked, and the Conservatives won the 1924 election on a "red peril" scare.
It is now thought to have been a forgery by two MI5 agents, Sidney Reilly and Arther Maundy Gregory, and leaked by a third, Joseph Ball (who went on to work for Conservative central office), as part of a larger MI5 plot to destabilise the Labour government.

When the Central Committee, at a meeting on October 16, confirmed its decision to stage an insurrection, Kamenev on October 18 published an article in his own and Zinoviev's name in the newspaper Novaya Zhizn, in which he argued that an insurrection would be a grave mistake.

 Revolutionary and Soviet Russia before World War II
The leading figures in this struggle were Leon Trotsky (often considered a co-leader with Lenin in 1917-1918), Lev Kamenev and Gregory Zinoviev (old allies of Lenin's), Nicholas Bukharin (a popular young party leader), and Joseph Stalin (the head of the party's bureaucratic machinery).
The first victims were Stalin's old opponents, Kamenev, Zinoviev, and Bukharin, who with their supporters were tried as "spies" and "enemies of the people." At the same time, the Stalin regime's efforts to combat corruption turned into a series of mass purges of party members.
The purges and the terror came together in 1937-1938: in those years, the secret police executed tens of thousands of innocent people who had been denounced as "enemies." The terror destroyed much of the leadership of the universities and the scientific community, the army, and the government.

 Nikita S. Khrushchev: Crimes of the Stalin Era   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
By the time Lenin died, after several previous strokes, in January 1924, a troika or triumvirate was ruling Russia, consisting of Stalin, Leo Kamenev, head of the Moscow Party organization, and Gregory Zinoviev, head of the Petrograd party and of the Communist International.
Consolidating his control of the Party apparatus, Stalin next defeated Zinoviev and Kamenev, who joined Trotsky in what became known as the "Left Opposition." Stalin was aided in this by Nikolai Bukharin, theoretician and editor of Pravda, Alexei Rykov, Lenin's successor as Soviet Premier, and Mikhail Tomsky, head of the Soviet trade unions; these men.
Public trials of such Old Bolsheviks as Kamenev, Zinoviev, Bukharin and Rykov were marked by astounding "confessions" of dastardly crimes; behind the scenes, thousands refused to yield to torture and met their deaths in silence.
