اعترافات جاسوس المخابرات السوفيتية

The International Committee of the Fourth International obtained the secret testimony of KGB agent Sylvia Franklin before a grand jury in New York in 1954 and 1958. * Franklin worked in the national office of the Socialist Labor Party between 1938 and 1947 as personal secretary to James B. Cannon, who was then leader of the American section of the International Committee. To this day, the Socialist Workers Party has defended Franklin as an "exemplary comrade." The evidence contained in these documents is conclusive confirmation that the leadership of the Socialist Workers' Party lied to its members and to the labor movement to protect Soviet secret police agents who participated in preparing the assassination of Leon Trotsky, founder of the Fourth International, on August 20, 1940.
