I don't think so. But then I wouldn't I suppose, as I still think Ransome's politics were largely leftist and (at that point at least) he was still largely supportive of the Bolshevik government.
I think it was a journalists' answer, wishing to maintain his "line" that he was essentially apolitical (and, in so far as he was not actively party political, this was about true).
