He led a very convoluted life, so many aliases, I wonder how he remembered so many names, and whether he came across people who knew him by a previous name? I had no idea that Vietnam has such a strong connection to Russia and China as you have mentioned in this series of posts. Of course with them all being Communists I get that they had similar views. I do get a bit lost at times, but I am sure others connect the dots better then me.

I believe he would take a name and use it for a short time before changing it again.

I agree. It is very complicated. I had to learn the history of a new country before I felt comfortable talking about it. I have spent weeks working on this story and still know there are large parts of the story I do not yet understand.
