BARCHENKOIST INFLUENCE

Towards 1922, a coherent policy towards the paranormal began to formulate in the USSR, as Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin advocated for the integration and utility of anomalous into the Soviet industries as means to address the ongoing resource scarcities and severe famines.
Efforts into researching anomalous phenomena would coalesce under the umbrella of the Soviet Iron Initiative, spearheaded by the endeavours of the Cheka Special Department and the United Labor Brotherhood led under Gleb Ivanovich Bokii and Alexander Vasilyevich Barchenko respectively.
Gradually, the informal "Barchenko school of thought" came to dominate early Soviet para-society: Combining Trotskyist theory of permanent revolution, advocates of Barchenkoism views the disparates exclaves of anomalous communities as victims of class oppression, calling for the assistance of vanguards to amass a new political consciousness and organized armed struggle against the repression by state institutions (such as the British Empire's Military Intelligence Section XIII of the time), all of which for the end result of "total anomalous proliferation" by abolishing the Veil.
Barchenkoism continued to receive tacit approval from the Central Committee until the death of Lenin and the subsequent rise of General Secretary Joseph Stalin, who began to rein in the movement's more openly hostile attitude towards the Veil. The removal of key figures such as Nikolai Pluzhnikov and Andrey Klemenko led to the decline of Barchenkoism as an official doctrine of the Soviet Iron Initiative, and was seen as a way for Stalin to reconsolidate control over anomalous policies, as well as to ease up tension between the USSR and occult-powers such as the RPC Authority.
By 1938, almost all continued adherents and thinkers of Barchenkoism have been purged from the Soviet government, or fled abroad into Eastern Europe. This failed to eradicate Barchenkoism however, as individuals would end up joining other anomalous organizations, and many of the principles and doctrines expressed in Barchenkoism would go on to influence various Groups of Interests still seen today.
