25 October 1924: The Zinoviev Letter—The Daily Mail newspaper reported a directive allegedly from Comintern chairman Grigory Zinoviev to the Communist Party of Great Britain, claiming the Labour government of Ramsey MacDonald had made the U.K. ripe for revolution; judged authentic at the time, despite denials by Zinoviev himself, today the letter is considered a forgery, forged by émigrés.
