Salme Dutt (: Salme Anette Murrik) (29 August 1888 – 30 August 1964) was a British communist politician, wife of Rajani Palme Dutt. The Finnish-Estonian author Hella Wuolijoki was her elder sister. Murrik was also grandaunt of Finnish Social Democratic politician Erkki Tuomioja. Salme Murrik was born in Helme Parish, Governorate of Livonia, Russian Empire (present-day Estonia), and spent her childhood in Valga. She was expelled from the A.S. Pushkin Gymnasium in Tartu due to her participation in the Revolution of 1905, and moved to Moscow, and to Siberia, and Finland before settling in Britain. Her first husband was notable Finnish left wing politician Eino Pekkala, brother of Mauno Pekkala. During the early years of the Communist Party of Great Britain, Murrik, a Comintern agent, acted as Dutt's link to Moscow.〔(David Harker, Tressell )〕 Salme Murrik had been directed to Britain on Lenin's orders to participate in forming the Communist Party there. She remained an ardent admirer of Stalin even after Khruschchev's 1956 secret speech critical of Stalin's cult of personality. Salme Dutt's treatment of the Chartist movement, ''When England Arose'', was published in 1939. A collection of poems, entitled ''Lucifer and Other Poems'', was published in London in 1966. Salme Dutt died in the city in 1964. ==Notes== 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「Salme Dutt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
