Summary: Cadet from India, who had been expected for some months. He was equipped with correct papers, and on his arrival there at the end of September, he was looked upon as quite an important person. But the suspicious Braillier soon discovered that he was an adventurer of the worst type. The C. T. C. positively refused to have anything to do with him, but Braillier, who was in need of an interpreter, took him up as a temporary worker. But it was quite clear that Roy could not, in the nature of things, get into touch with the class-conscious revolutionary element in Moscow, where, quite frankly, he was looked upon as a ragged Indian who escaped from Lord Curzon’s political detectives. He had, of course, little chance of getting into touch with the Members of the Soviet Parliament, who flocked to Moscow from every corner of Russia, earger to get on with the new regime and anxious to get an invitation to go home». The original attempt to start a revolutionary paper.did not succeed. He established connections with Trotsky's friends, one of whom was Professor Siraj-ud-din Ahmed. Roy finally started living by his wits. Honest work was not to his taste, and his disrespect for money soon got him into trouble. He began to sell arms to turbulent elements, 240. which Paduk suggested as a method of earning a living “Instead of sending him off to an unknown destination, why not leave Roy to his own devices? He is too chamed on, and his 433 CONIMSINIMMO insane desire to make money by any means will soon bring him to book,” is how this was looked upon in certain circles. Paduk seemed to have plenty of time to take up the cudgels against Roy, to tease him, to set others on to watch him, and in this way Roy became the object of much surveillance on the part of friend and foe alike. Roy, being of a restless disposition, dashed hither and thither, alien- ating everyone in the end. His attempt to form an alliance with the “patriots” at Moscow failed ignominiously. In September, 1919, he was urged by Paduk to write to Chicherin for permission to return, but he did not venture to do this because he well knew how his applications were considered there. In Moscow—in Moscow, where nobody wore money- Roy had to deal with the smarter pantaloon and Nebuchadnezzar developed new demands. He also began to frequent the notorious Caucasus circles, where the escapades of the “Sultan”, who declared himself King of Europe, and his henchmen, caused his temporary disappearance. So he, the famous adventurer of Liberty, Mother of the Revolutionary Movement, sang and danced to the tune called the “victory march of Guchkov”. He had been believed to be Roy’s friend; in Paris he is reputed to have saved the situation single-handed, and to have held out a hand to Roy in his moment of despair, but in Moscow he was said to have turned against him. Roy’s life at that time had become a terror to others; his hopes and aspirations were quite at an end. Singaravelu, who was sent out to meet him, succeeded in doing so, after much difficulty, and reported that he had only alienated people in Moscow. Although he left the Moscow revolutionary circle it appears that, owing to his peculiar temperament, he never lost an inclination to “niple” while months after his expulsion he still appeared to yearn for the Moscow nirvana. Singaravelu and his friends had the impression that Pandit Mosina, who is known to everyone in Moscow, was aiesigned on the old gentlemanly interests of the revolutionary circle.">
