Ryazanov founded the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow in 1920 with Frankfurt mediation

Evidence

David Ryazanov, an early Russian Social Democrat, had already consulted the Marx-Engels unpublished papers before the war in connection with current political problems. With Bebel’s support, he had edited a volume of selected works by Marx and Engels, and in December 1920 he founded the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow, whose task he saw as investigating the genesis, development and spread of the theory and practice of scientific socialism, of revolutionary communism, as it was created and formulated by Marx and Engels'. Under a contract with Bernstein, Ryazanov acquired the right to publish the manuscripts of Marx and Engels in Russian. — <cite>Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 116</cite> (#expands`, via linked claim)
