Souvarine was strongly affected by World War I.
Following the October Revolution, Maxim Gorky employed Souvarine as a correspondent for Novaya Zhizn.
Souvarine's motion at the SFIO's Tours Congress founded what is today the French Communist Party.
Having defended Trotsky against Stalin in the Comintern during the 1920s, Souvarine kept up close correspondence with him until his death.
Souvarine worked closely with Pierre Kaan, a prominent member of the French Resistance with whom he edited l'Humanité and La Critique Sociale in the 1920s and the 1930s.
