latter became supportive of the organization. William Seabrook noted that while Mladorossi were Tsarist, they seemed almost "Red" to conservative Russians because of their leftist views. Collapse In the 1930s, the Mladorossi adopted an increasingly open pro-Soviet position, claiming that they were to become the "second Soviet party". While still declaring Stalin as their enemy, the Mladorossi believed that a tsar could fully function in the Soviet system that was in place at the time in the USSR. This earned the Mladorossi the label of being "Soviet patriots" amidst the White émigrés, and speculation began that the organization was being influenced, if not controlled, by the Soviet secret police. The founder of the Mladorossi, Alexander Kazembek, was implicated of having ties with the Soviet consulate and the OGPU. In 1937, after being spotted in a cafe in France speaking to several Soviet diplomats, Kazembek resigned his post. After World War II, he emigrated to the United States and lived in California and then Connecticut and then moved to the USSR, where he lived out the rest of his years. At the start of World War II, many Mladorossi volunteered to join the French Resistance. After the war ended, the organisation dissolved and was no longer heard of.
