Moses Shelesnyak was a registered voter in the Communist Party and in the American Labor Party. Shelesnyak had close ties to Owen Lattimore. FBI - Freedom of Information Act - Owen Lattimore Page 92.
Arctic explorer and Communist Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Owen Lattimore, and Prof. Moses Chaim "M.C." Shelesnyak, were close friends. FBI - Freedom of Information Act - Owen Lattimore

Shelesnyak is bit of a mystery in that while a long time Communist I do not see him firmly in the Russian/Soviet camp. This leads me to wonder if he is closer to the Red Chinese.
