Some assume that Grigory Chudnovsky was employed by Alexander Parvus at the Copenhagen Institute for Research into the Social Consequences of War . Others mention his collaboration in Martov's Paris newspaper Our Word around 1915. Leon Trotsky writes in his memoirs that he met Chudnovsky in early 1917 in the New York editorial office of the Russian newspaper Neue Welt . The news of the February Revolution in 1917 prompted Grigory Chudnovsky to leave for Petrograd . The sea voyage was interrupted for a few weeks in the Canadian internment camp Amherst in early April 1917 . Released at the instigation of the Provisional Government , more precisely at the instigation of the Petrograd Soviet , Grigory Chudnovsky landed in Petrograd in May 1917. In June he was called up for military service. During the July offensive of the Germans he was wounded and accidentally entered on the list of dead.
After his homecoming, Grigory Chudnovsky had joined a group of United Social Democrats , which focused on the VI. Congress of the RSDLP in August 1917 the Bolsheviks joined. His political career began in the autumn of 1917 on the Russian Southwest Front. Grigory Chudnovsky then took part in the 2nd All-Russian Congress of Workers 'and Soldiers' Councils in Petrograd in October 1917, where he was elected to the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, was present in the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks and in the Military-Revolutionary Committee in Petrograd and was commissioner in the Revolutionary Committee of the Preobrazhensky Body Guard Regiment .
After storming the Winter Palace, Grigory Chudnovsky was one of the commanders involved in the arrest of the members of the Provisional Government and their imprisonment in the Peter and Paul Fortress . He fought against Kerensky and Krasnov . In November 1917 he fought as a special commissioner on the Russian Southwest Front against the Germans and in December 1917 / January 1918 against the All-Ukrainian Council . During the advance of the opposing Germans on April 8, 1918 on Charkow , Grigory Tschudnowski was killed in a hopeless situation.
