Because of his political activities, he was subjected to repression and was in the same year after Baku into the banishment sent. Here, however, he continued his revolutionary agitation among the dock workers.

Emigration and Exile in the Far East

In 1904 Babushkin emigrated by decision of the Transcaucasian Committee of the RSDLP . In 1904/1905 he was a member and secretary of the Bolshevik Club in Paris , where he met Lenin in November 1904 . In exile he worked intensively on revolutionary writings.

From November 1904 he worked in various Russian cities: Saint Petersburg , Nizhny Novgorod , Kanavino , Makarjew and Moscow .

In January 1910 he was exiled again, this time to Ust-Kut ( Irkutsk Governorate ). However, he drove illegally to Irkutsk , where he and Postyshev continued the revolutionary work until the committee was smashed by the tsarist authorities and its members were captured.

From February 1917 he was in Vladivostok , then again in Izhevsk to continue the party work. Babushkin was a delegate of the Izhevsk party organization on the VI. Party congress of the RSDLP (B) in July / August 1917.
