In 1931 however, he was sent as the leader of a military expedition on behalf of the Syndicalist International to Patagonia, with the goal to establish a modern army to be able to counter the Argentinian military in a potential future conflict. Since the mid-1920s, he is in service of the Armed Forces of the Commune of France, mainly as an advisor and army commander. With most of his old comrades either dead (like Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky), politically irrelevant (like Nikolai Bukharin or Lev Kamenev) or defected to more moderate political movements to be able to actively participate in Russian politics (like Alexandra Kollontai or Alexei Rykov), Dzhugashvili remains one of the most influential Bolsheviks still alive, mainly because of military skills. Ioseb Dzhugashvili, also known by his pseudonyms ' Stalin' and 'Koba', is a Georgian Old Guard Bolshevik who has been active in Russian socialist circles for more than 35 years.
