This article reviews the activities of Bertram D. Wolfe, the outstanding U.S. politician and founder of the Communist Party of the United States, during his stay in our country between 1922 and 1925. His presence here was of singular importance for the Communist Party of Mexico since he was part of its leading bodies and was an untiring teacher who shared the basics of Marxism with party members. He was also elected its delegate to the Fifth Congress of the Communist International, which met in Moscow between June and August 1924. To carry out this research, the author delved deeply into the documents in the Bertram Wolfe Collection in the New York Public Library, as well as Mexican documentary sources.
