Abstract
This paper is a response to the rejoinder by Gidon Cohen and Kevin Morgan to a critique of their article on British students at the International Lenin School (ILS) in Moscow which appeared in a recent issue of Twentieth Century British History. It develops the criticism of their data and research methods, and the revised results and conclusions they derive from them, while taking issue with their approach to historical argument. It demonstrates that the presence of ILS graduates in leading positions in the Communist Party of Great Britain and in the apparatus of the party did not, as they insist, disappear after 1943, but persisted into the 1950s.
