Fashkors
[edit]Many authors of articles inFashistwere kept anonymous, to avoid reprisals from Soviet agents. Instead, they signed the articles asfashkor(фашкор, short for 'Fascist Correspondent', compare withrabkor) followed by their party membership number and geographic location.[2]By using the pseudonyms of many differentfashkors,Fashistcreated the impression of being in the epicentre of a vast global network of émigré Russian fascist agents as well as a network of saboteurs with theSoviet Union.[2][6]In reality, Vonsyatsky could count on only a handful of Russian exiles as correspondents.[6]
