In 1932 , at the grandly titled " first world congress " of the International Red Aid ( IRH - workers ' welfare ) organisation , Rubiner was elected to a senior secretarial post with IRH , which she held between December 1932 and August 1933 . Later she moved to the Executive Committee of the Communist International ( ECCI ) where between 1932 ( or 1933 ) and 1935 she headed up a department in the Press section . In the wake of the murder of Sergey Kirov at the end of 1934 the ECCI underwent a general " personnel purge " , and Rubiner was the subject of a denunciation from a cell within the ECCI criticising her " insufficient vigilance " , based on the assertion that she had numbered among her acquaintances ECCI colleagues identified as " enemies of the people " . The reprimand was soon cancelled by the relevant Moscow Committee control commission . Through the Stalinist purges of the later 1930s , any surveillance to which Rubiner was subject seems to have been relatively benign . In 1936 she acquired Soviet citizenship
