The Soviet Union sent Bolshevik emissaries to Mexico in 1919 and in 1921. They misunderstood the anarchist influence; furthermore, they presented the revolution as "bourgeois". Indeed, the Industrial Workers of the World had developed anarchism in the workplace and felt antagonized by those visitors. At the same time, anarchists became hostile to communism as they found out how their comrades were victimized in the Soviet Union.
