28 Bolsheviks
The Twenty Eight Bolsheviks were a group of Chinese students who studied at the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow during the late 1920s until early 1935. Trained in hardline Soviet policy, their return to China ushered in a renewed struggle between the Central Committee and Mao Zedong's fledgling Chinese Soviet Republic. At the 1935 Tsunyi Conference, the Twenty-Eight Bolsheviks attempted to seize control of the Republic from Mao; however, his rise to power as both Chairman of the Communist Party of China and Chairman of the Politburo prevented such a seizure. Important members included Wang Ming, Wang Shiwei, and Ding Ling.
