In the winter of 1928–1929, Noether accepted an invitation to [[Moscow State University]], where she continued working with [[Pavel Alexandrov|P. S. Alexandrov]]. In addition to carrying on with her research, she taught classes in abstract algebra and [[algebraic geometry]]. She worked with the topologists [[Lev Pontryagin]] and [[Nikolai Chebotaryov]], who later praised her contributions to the development of [[Galois theory]].{{Sfn|Dick|1981|pp=63–64}}{{Sfn|Kimberling|1981|p=26}}{{Sfn|Alexandrov|1981|pp=108–110}}

Although politics was not central to her life, Noether took a keen interest in political matters and, according to Alexandrov, showed considerable support for the [[Russian Revolution]]. She was especially happy to see [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] advances in the fields of science and mathematics, which she considered indicative of new opportunities made possible by the [[Bolshevik]] project. This attitude caused her problems in Germany, culminating in her eviction from a [[Pension (lodging)|pension lodging]] building, after student leaders complained of living with "a Marxist-leaning Jewess".{{Sfn|Alexandrov|1981|pp=106–109}} [[Hermann Weyl]] recalled that "During the wild times after the [[German Revolution of 1918–1919|Revolution of 1918]]," Noether "sided more or less with the [[Social Democratic Party of Germany|Social Democrats]]".{{sfn|Weyl|1935}} She was from 1919 through 1922 a member of the [[Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany|Independent Social Democrats]], a short-lived splinter party. In the words of logician and historian [[Colin McLarty]], "she was not a Bolshevist but was not afraid to be called one."{{sfn|McLarty|2005}}

Noether planned to return to Moscow, an effort for which she received support from Alexandrov. After she left Germany in 1933, he tried to help her gain a chair at Moscow State University through the [[Narkompros|Soviet Education Ministry]]. Although this effort proved unsuccessful, they corresponded frequently during the 1930s, and in 1935 she made plans for a return to the Soviet Union.{{Sfn |Alexandrov|1981|pp=106–109}}
