Juliet Stuart Poyntz (originally 'Points') (25 November 1886–1937) was an American communist and intelligence agent for the Soviet Union. As a student and university teacher, she espoused many radical causes, and went on to become a co-founder of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA). Poyntz travelled secretly to Moscow in 1936, just as some of her comrades were being executed in Joseph Stalin's Great Purge, and she resigned from the party. This is widely assumed to have led to her unexplained disappearance in New York City in June 1937, as the likely victim of an assassination squad, either because she had been mixing with Trotskyists, or because she was planning to write an exposé of the Soviet system. ==Biography== Poyntz was born on November 25, 1886 in Omaha, Nebraska. Her family moved to Jersey City, New Jersey, not long before she entered Barnard College.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juliet Stuart Poyntz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
