Monday, 3 February 1930

Russia:  The Soviet secret police, the OGPU, reportedly executes by firing squad, without trial, 300 former naval officers who served before the communist rise to power.

Paris:  In the continuing drama surrounding the disappearance of former White Russian General Alexander Koutiepoff, Russia’s Ambassador to France claims that White Russian exiles living in Paris are plotting a raid on his embassy to seek evidence of Russian involvement in the case (which Russia has officially denied).  He asks French authorities to increase the guard for the Russian embassy.
