Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, as you did at Rose Cohen (communist), you may be blocked from editing. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 18:58, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

The title of the article should be Rose Cohen (Stalin’s British victim)

{{subst:requested move|Rose Cohen (Stalin’s British victim)|reason=The title “Stalin’s British victim” is the title of the book written about Rose Cohen by Francis Beckett and published in England in 2004 by Sutton Publishing. Rose Cohen is featured on the cover. It’s by far the most comprehensive source of information about her, published by a very respected author. And while Rose Cohen was indeed a member of the Communist party, it’s just a political affiliation, and you don’t find Wiki articles saying “Boris Johnson, Conservative”, though he is the leader of the Conservative Party. Rose Cohen was a feminist, a socialist, a journalist, and a member of the Communist party. Unfortunately, her most life defining role was being a Stalin’s British victim, as it’s clearly featured in “Stalin’s British victims” book.

Dear Rosguill, Your insistence on the title reminds me of witch hunting, black labelling of people affiliated with the communist party in the US, and also a well-documented sentiment among the British officials at the time of her arrest, that because she was a member of the Communist party, she somehow deserved her tragic fate in the USSR.

Thank you, David1886
