It's a common thread.  In the early years of Soviet Union, Communist parties
outside USSR were relatively small and mainly viewed as potential terror
cells to be supported so they could topple the "bourgeois regimes".  Only
after WWII managed USSR to prep foreign Communist parties up to be
significant players.

In 1924, one of those cells attempted to overtake Estonian government.  It
was over in eight hours.  After WWII, Soviets erected a monument (by now,
dismantled) to the participants depicting six or seven figures, and people
used to joke that it's the only monument in the world to depict all
participants of a revolution.  Strictly speaking, it was incorrect, I think
there were around a hundred participants plus some fellow travellers, but
Communist support base *was* that low.  Even out of those hundred, most were
specifically carted in from Russia, and when the revolution was over, most
of the ones that escaped capture fled to Russia.  Jaan Anvelt, a principal
Communist activist in Estonia, left Estonia then, and was eventually purged
by Stalin.  Every revolution will eat its children, as they say.

In 1940, when Stalin needed to recruit local people to sow terror among the
population, he didn't attract them by ideology but offer of raw power.
 *That* did the trick: he got a best selection of thugs and cutthroats.
