I don't know if this is due to the editor not having English as a native tongue, or a poor translation, or some other reason, but much of the article is nonsensical in English. To wit: "Highly implicated in the early communist movement, she used her life as a tool of emancipation. Her affairs with prominent intellectuals such as Jean Bernier, Eduard Trautner, Boris Pilnyak, Boris Souvarine, George Bataille, were for her as important as affective encounters, than as weapons against her condition of woman, bourgeoise, ill and colonialist." (emphases added) These are terms that do not make sense in English. There is no such state as "highly implicated"; implication is binary -- one either is, or isn't implicated. Using one's life as a "tool of emancipation" is equally nonsensical, and the other highlighted sections are likewise far from understandable in English, as well as lacking correct grammar. It would be helpful if someone could try to make sense of it. Bricology (talk) 09:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
It reads to me as academic jargon rather than uneducated English. But I agree that it's inappropriate here. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:55, 19 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
