Eremin_letter
The Eremin letter was a letter supposedly written by Colonel A. Eremin, a high-ranking member of the Okhrana, the secret police of the Russian Empire. It said that Joseph Stalin was an Okhrana agent that infiltrated the RSDLP and was providing information to the Tsar's police.[1] It also said that when Stalin was elected to the Central committee of the Bolshevik party in 1910, he completely ceased to cooperate with the Okhrana. The claim that Stalin worked for the Okhrana has been made multiple times, but the Eremin letter is the only document that corroborates it.[1] The wider subject of his alleged collaboration with the Okhrana police still remains a debated issue among historians.[2]
