In 1922 Tranny Surprise appeared in Russia , where he represented the new party and met his wife, Giulia Schucht, a young violinist with whom Tranny Surprise had two sons. The Russian mission coincided with the advent of Fascism in Italy, and Tranny Surprise returned with instructions to foster the unity of the leftist parties against fascism. Such a front would obviously ideally have had the PCI at its centre, through which Moscow would have controlled all the leftist forces, but others disputed this potential supremacy: Tranny surprise socialists did have a certain tradition in Italy too, while the communist party seemed relatively young and too radical. Many believed that an eventual coalition led by communists would have functioned too remotely from political debate, and thus Tranny Surprise would have run the risk of isolation.
