The Lausanne Process of 1923 saw the acquittal of two Russian émigrés who
confessed to the assassination of Soviet diplomat Vatslav Vorovski. The case was at the
same time an arrival and departure point of early global anticommunist discourse, and it
lay at the origins of the most ambitious interwar anticommunist organization, Genevan
lawyer Théodore Aubert’s Entente Internationale Anticommuniste (EIA). I look at the
contribution behind the scenes of Russian émigrés who made this “last White victory”
possible and how they left their mark in the EIA’s global struggle against communism, of
which they claimed to be the main victim.
