Sealed Screen - Part II

Departure subscription



Having accepted the proposal of the Bolsheviks about the organization of their move through Germany, Platten appealed to the German envoy in Switzerland and presented him with the following written conditions:
“1. I, Fritz Platten, take a wagon with political immigrants and legal persons wishing to travel to Russia via Germany under my full and unceasing personal responsibility.
2. Only the Platten is being demolished with the German authorities, without whose permission no one can get into the car locked up during the whole journey. The car is given the right to extraterritoriality.
3. There should be no checks on papers or persons either upon entering or leaving Germany.
4. Persons are admitted to the wagon with absolutely no distinction between their political direction and their relationship to issues of war and peace.
5. Everyone traveling issues tickets to Platten at the normal fare.
6. As far as possible, travel must occur without interruption, by direct communication. Without the technical necessity of a break in the journey can not be. It is impossible to leave the carriage not by any order, nor on one’s own initiative.
7. Permission to travel is given on the basis of the exchange of riding on German and Austrian prisoners of war and interned in Russia.
8. The facilitator and those traveling undertake to act in society and especially among the workers in the direction that this postulate will be implemented.
9. If possible, the nearest departure time from the Swiss border to the Swedish one, as well as technical details (luggage, etc.) are established immediately. ”

Two days later, Platten received a reply stating that his conditions were accepted, as reported by the departing persons, who by their personal signature confirmed that they had communicated the results of Platten’s negotiations with the German embassy to them, that they knew the threats of the Provisional Government, that they fully obeyed during the trip all orders of the head of Platten’s trip.

In the group of emigrants who returned home with Lenin, from 32 people were 19 Bolsheviks (N.K. Krupskaya, G.E. Zinoviev, I.F. Armand, D.S. Suliashvili, M.Tschakaya, G.A. Usievich et al.), Six Bundists and three supporters of the Parisian international newspaper Nashe Slovo. With great difficulty, those who had driven away raised money for the fare. Platten later recalled: “The money in which we, as enemies slandered, drowned, we had absolutely no. At the last minute, we would not have been able to redeem edible supplies if the board of the Swiss party had not opened a loan for us at 3000 fr. under the guarantee of Lang and Platten ". The help of the Swiss and Swedish socialists and the modest sum sent by the Central Committee of the RSDLP (b) made it possible to ensure the passage of Russian emigrants to their homeland.

The border is drawn with chalk

As evidenced by the memories of Platten, Krupskaya, Tskhai and other participants of the trip, the German authorities just fulfilled the conditions. At the German border station Gotmadingen, the Russian revolutionaries were given a wagon, three of which were sealed, the fourth, the back door remained open. The nearest compartment was occupied by two officers - authorized by the German military command. On the corridor floor, the border between Russian revolutionaries and German officers was marked with chalk. No one except Platten, who accompanied the Russian émigrés, had the right to cross the chalk line without the consent of the passengers.

German newspapers were strictly forbidden to report anything about the passage of emigrants until they left Germany. The authorities were afraid that such reports would lead to demonstrations - an open manifestation of the sympathy of the German population for the Russian revolutionaries.

12 April train reached Sassnitz on the Baltic Sea coast. Passengers moved from the carriage to the Swedish cruise ship-steamer, which transported them across the sea littered with mines to the town of Trelleborg, where they were met by Polish Social Democrat Ganetsky and Swedish journalist Grimlund. From Trelleborg they already arrived by train in Stockholm.

There Lenin and his comrades were cordially received not only by the Bolsheviks-emigrants, but also by the Swedish Left Social Democrats. Day stay in Stockholm was filled to capacity. Lenin gives an interview to a Politiken correspondent about the trip, organizes here the Foreign Representative Office (bureau) of the Central Committee of the RSDLP, participates in a meeting of local Social Democrats, attends a banquet hosted by Swedish comrades in honor of immigrants who arrived, talks about the upcoming socialist revolution in Russia and the prospects of the world revolutionary movement , on bourgeois democracy and the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Hotly thanking the Swedish comrades for the cordial welcome and great attention, Lenin and his comrades left Stockholm the next day and were at the border station Tornio two days later. Their unexpectedly rapid appearance on the threshold of a country seized by the revolution, on the border of Finland, then part of Russia, disturbed the agents of the Entente. Without hiding their anger, the English officers who were in charge of the Swedish-Finnish border, took their hearts away by having searched Lenin in a separate room.

As the facts show, no obstacles erected by the British, French and Russian ruling circles, did not keep the leader of the revolution away from Russia. But immediately after his arrival in Petrograd, all the chauvinists and "defencists" began a frenzied agitation against Lenin and all those who returned after a long emigration to their homeland. The Central Committee and the PCR of the RSDLP (b) with a leaflet appealed to all citizens to expose Lenin’s slanderous accusations and Pravda headed by him, demanding “respect for the decision of the Executive Committee of the Council of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies, who heard the report of the emigrants and found nothing wrong in their behavior” . In another appeal of the Central Committee and the PC of the RSDLP (b) - “Against the Pogromists”, the bourgeois newspapers Russkaya Volya, Rech, Plekhanov's Unity, which did not reprint either the report of the emigrants or the executive committee, were exposed. But despite the campaign of these forces against Lenin and his supporters, the working class, and after it, the soldiers and peasants with humor accepted stories about Lenin’s connections with the German General Staff and about his betrayal of his motherland. They welcomed Lenin as "the ideological leader of the Russian workers" and "a tireless fighter for socialism."

Solzhenitsyn's delusion

Fritz Platten's book and the film about him are not the only sources about the events of the spring of 1917. 60 years ago Werner Halweg’s book, Lenin's Return to Russia in 1917, was published. Like Platten's memoirs, we published it in 1990. It contains correspondence documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff of Germany, embassies, missions, which convincingly expose the slanderous accusations against Lenin and his associates that they returned to Russia as some kind of German “spies”.

Documents selected and commented by Halweg characterize the entire history the return of Lenin and the group of emigrants traveling with him through Germany to Russia through the prism of the interests of the German authorities, who were interested in a separate peace with Russia for the purpose of a military victory over the Entente countries or at least achieving more favorable peace conditions. But these documents, if read in an unbiased manner, give a fairly clear picture of the organization and the journey itself through Germany or, as Halweg puts it, you can use it to provide "the background of the circumstances of Lenin's journey." True, the compiler of the collection and the author of the introduction to it often repeat the unfounded stereotypical statements of the author of the book “February Revolution” (“Russia 1917: The Februaty Revolution”) by G. M. Katkov about the alleged “financial assistance” of the German authorities to the Bolsheviks, but still real facts , gleaned from documents, help historians more often find the right explanation for events. Among the stereotypes about the relationship of the Russian Social Democrats and their passage through Germany should also be attributed to the myths of the desire of the Bolsheviks for closer rapprochement with Kaiser Germany, about Lenin's meeting with Gelfand (Parvus) and about the special role of the latter in organizing a “sealed train” . All these inaccuracies were reproduced, in particular, by Alexander Solzhenitsyn in the book "Lenin in Zurich", published in 1975 in Paris. And yet the Nobel laureate, who relied largely on the publication of Halweg, was forced to admit that Lenin "knew his right, did not falter," that he "kept the main treasure - the honor of a socialist."

In the light of the above data, the considerations used in the film “The Demon of the Revolution” - about the participation of German money in the October Revolution, do not stand up to criticism. How can one, for example, speak of a “closer rapprochement” between Russian revolutionary emigrants and Kaiser Germany, when the Bolsheviks treated the Kaiser and his rule as much as the Tsar of Russia, that is, sharply negative. Following Lenin, his closest associate, Zinoviev, wrote then: "There is no doubt: Wilhelm II is no less a monster than Nicholas II, it is necessary to overthrow the monarchy of Wilhelm II." What kind of rapprochement with such initial positions of the Bolsheviks can there be?

In this regard, in the introduction to the book, Doctor of Historical Sciences A.V. Sovokin writes: “Do not put Parvus among the“ revolutionary émigrés ”, who was branded by V.I. Lenin back in 1915, as a renegade who“ licks Hindenburg’s boots, assuring readers that "the German General Staff spoke in favor of the revolution in Russia." It is quite natural that this business man, who had fled from Russia and who grew rich in war, climbed to help the German authorities to weaken or completely destroy Russia as much as possible, that is, he followed the same line as the German General Staff, Kaiser and his retinue.

The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where Parvus was believed to have entered, decided on the passage of Lenin and his associates on the basis of their national interests. But the story of evil laughed at them. Their "brilliant" success achieved as a result of the signing of the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty 3 in March 1918, when they were able to humiliate Russia, forcing its government into bondage, was defeated by the November revolution of 1918 in Germany. The desire to weaken their adversary by supporting the revolution turned for the German ruling circles to overthrow William II and the collapse of all hopes of victory over Russia in the First World War. Lenin drew attention to the words of one of the ideologists of German militarism, German General Ludendorff, quoted by Denikin about his joy at the Russian revolution: "But I could not imagine that it would become a grave for our power." Four times, the text that was deleted and singled out with the NB sign describes how the ruling circles of Germany, who had missed a group of Bolshevik immigrants to Russia, were deceived.

All the slanderous fabrications about Lenin and his colleagues who went with him were exposed immediately upon arrival in Russia. In Pravda and Izvestia, a message was published made to the Executive Committee of the Petrograd Council of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies by Lenin and Zinoviev on behalf of their comrades who came from Switzerland. It published data showing that emigrants had no other way home, that only Fritz Platten maintained contact with the German authorities, that these authorities had nothing but a promise "to agitate in Russia for exchanging missed emigrants for the corresponding number of Austro “German internees” was not given.

Having heard the report of those who arrived, Zurabov and Zinoviev, the Executive Committee of the Petrograd Soviet "decided to immediately appeal to the Provisional Government and take measures to immediately pass all emigrants to Russia, regardless of their political views and attitude to the war." By this decree, the Petrograd Soviet recognized the legitimacy of the actions of Lenin and his comrades in their journey through Germany to Russia. The newspapers and leaflets distributed the “Minutes of the Meeting of the RSDLP Members, consolidated by the Central Committee of 8 on April 1917” (March 26 for the old style), which contains official documents showing all the ups and downs of preparations for the return of emigrants to Russia.

And yet great

In his memoirs about Lenin, in publications of documents and biographical essays on him, the question of the return of the Bolshevik leader from emigration has been covered repeatedly. At the beginning of the 60s, solid research emerged that highlighted the problem based on available print and archival sources. Historical facts make it possible to fully restore the history of that trip. But the creators of the film “The Demon of the Revolution” did not bother to get acquainted with the materials, convincing that all the fabrications about German money are unfounded.

Since 2014, at the suggestion of Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences A.O. Chubaryan, two revolutions - the February and October and Civil wars are considered as a single historical process, and therefore by analogy with the Great French are now called the Great Russian Revolution. It is written in the state historical and cultural standard. It turns out that instead of a principled assessment of key events of a century ago, what this standard is actually aimed at, the film “Revolution Demon” repeats a long-exposed lie. Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin warned that discussions about the 1917 revolution should not split the society.

Is it worth it afterwards to tell the film's authors that it is necessary to carefully analyze the results of 1917 of the year and respect the historical memory.

      It turns out that combining 2 revolutions into one, about the white movement of pity and monuments, and about the red ones, what? Apparently, the plans ----- assign all the merits of the Great October Soviet Revolution to the whites in a long-term program. There are no new monuments, nor new names in honor of the communist workers, peasants, military commanders, leaders. If someone corrects me in this regard --- I will be glad to know !!!!!!

        Alternatively, the February coup will be a revolution, and October will be called a coup. What’s next is hard to judge.
        But not everything is lost:
        "If with admiration," respect "and" sympathy "the Secretary General of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (Stalin) treated 2016% in March 37 of the year, then in January 2017 of the year this number increased to 46%.

          Probably, based on these percentages, an expression appeared about the archetypal personality of Stalin
          But how not to praise February, because the “young reformers” of the 90s continued what the Februaryists could not fulfill. Because no promises of the 90s were fulfilled, only the personal enrichment of the destroyers of the USSR

          So the Bolsheviks until the year 1927 in the media called the October events in Petrograd the OCTOBER Coup. Only after 1927 renamed the Great October Socialist Revolution. Russia learned about the Petrograd coup weeks and months later and did not attach much importance to the change of powers that had begun, which had begun ...

        Combining two revolutions into one, I consider a mistake. They had different goals and programs, not to mention leaders. And with the French Revolution, the analogies are wrong, because from beginning to end it was bourgeois, with only different stages of development.

          Official Soviet science believed that there were three revolutions in Russia:
          - The first bourgeois-democratic revolution of 1905-1097
          - The second bourgeois-democratic revolution in February 1917

              You are laughing in vain; you, apparently, do not quite understand what socialism is. This is not only the first phase of the communist formation, but also the belief system - the theory of scientific socialism, which was created by K. Marx and F. Engels. They showed, and the Great October Socialist Revolution confirmed the inevitability of socialism, due to the development of irreconcilable contradictions of capitalist society. They claimed that only the proletariat, in alliance with the peasantry, would revolutionarily overthrow the power of the capitalists and build a socialist society.
              So, the current bourgeoisie, realizing this, by combining the two revolutions into one, is trying to belittle the role of the Great October Socialist Revolution in building a just society and lead to the reconciliation of the current exploiters and the exploited.

          By the way, in October 1917 there were no double-headed eagles at this gate - by order of Kerensky, all the symbols of the Russian Empire (including imperial monograms on the facade of the building) were removed a month earlier, after Russia was declared a republic on September 1, 1917. There was no assault; there was a gradual capture of the Winter Palace by the Bolsheviks.

    About how during the WWII, the German and RUSSIAN noblemen were known for personal affairs across the front line for personal affairs. Some passing through the front line were even heroized. Like for example the wife of General Samsonov and those accompanying her. Or a relative of the queen who came to solve family problems in RUSSIA.

      And to the question of the “sealed wagon”, on which the Bolsheviks arrived in Sweden. To be honest. The fact, as they say, took place. Less known howeverthat in addition to a couple of dozen Bolsheviks, they got through similar Germany from Switzerland to Sweden in similarly sealed wagons there are also 169 members of other parties — the Mensheviks, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Anarchists, Bundists, Lithuanian Social Democrats, Finnish nationalists, etc. So, by analogy with Lenin, all of them can also be called "German spies" [Material from Wikipedia.

Pleve’s words about a small victorious war to prevent a revolution in Russia are often mentioned. However, there is a foresight about the February 1917 revolution, we will have an artificial, thoughtlessly made .... so-called educated classes, social elements. they have one goal ---- to overthrow the government, so that they themselves could sit in its place, at least in the form of a constitutional government .... the tsarist government has experience, don’t say, the habit of governance and mind you, all of our most useful, most liberal reforms are made by government ............. These faceless public elements that will replace the government - what will happen.? ...... they can never manage, they can’t sit still for the very reason that they issued so many bills that you have to pay them and immediately make concessions ......... at the same time they will fall ... and then all harmful criminal elements craving for doom and the decomposition of Russia. As it happened in February, the educated classes began the revolution, and what happened afterwards was inability, impotence, complete paralysis. This letter was written to Pleva about 12 years before the events. And Pleve died in 1904

            Work on the collapse of Russia, began even earlier in St. Petersburg. After returning from a victorious war with Napoleonic France, land reform was not carried out, serfdom was not abolished. This statement sounded not only in the works of the classics of Marxism-Leninism, but also in the works of those who were completely satisfied with the socio-political structure.
            The next bomb under the destruction of Russia was the very reform of the 1861 of the year, which "liberated" the peasants, so that Russia began to record hunger from year to year.
            And the final phase was the "reform" adored by all liberals, Stolypin. In the already impoverished village, insane property stratification took place, which led to the enslavement of the peasants, not by the landowner or the state, as before, but by the fist. This explosive mixture blazed.
            Starikov, as a person serving this oligarchic system that formed in the Russian Federation after 1991, once again casts a shadow on the wattle fence, palm off the "insidious Englishwoman", although the root of all misfortunes is the Russian elite itself.
            The method is not new. Before the revolution, they tried to find the "culprits" in Jews and Gentiles, then in German agents. Now, the same linden, only a side view, the agents have become English.

              It was after the war of 12 years that the Russian elite itself intensified exploitation as much as it wanted a life as luxurious as abroad. Despite the difference in climate. And during the war, bread was not sold and it was accumulated by the landlords for several years. What to live for? Sell ​​land! And the peasants are on them! So they began to think about how to free peasants without land. The reform of 1861 became possible only because most of the land was laid! And having received the money, the landowners were able to go abroad, where they all happily skipped!
              And Stolypin’s reforms for the development of capitalism, if completed, would bring a revolution closer !!!!!!

                I would add, not for development, but for acceleration, and they did it in the most inefficient way. What could have worked in England when the “enclosure” took place would not have worked in Russia in the 20 century. In my opinion, a systemic error occurred on the face due to the fact that the realities of this locality and changes in the socio-political formation were not taken into account. In Russia at the beginning of the century, and so there was a wave of peasant uprisings due to the impoverishment of the population. The requirement is one, “give the earth!”. What did Stolypin do? A model for the development of farms somewhere in America was taken and transferred to our country. Who took into account the difference in climate and mentality of the population? No one. What for? How, in those conditions and on those patches of land that remained with the majority of peasants, to manage this economy? Stolypin did not know that in the village, there were only 5 percent of prosperous farms, about 20 percent of “middle peasants”, and the remaining 75 — these are poor people who have enough bread right up to the new harvest or they have to farm, borrow or something spinning around? Is this called a human relationship? I doubt it. So that. he got a bullet deservedly, in my opinion. Another point. What the Bolsheviks faced during collectivization in the 30's, namely the opposition of the kulaks. There would not be this “reform” and collectivization would be much calmer and without unnecessary casualties. So, those who fell into special migrants can "thank" the one who left the famous phrase that Russia needs 20 years without war and upheaval. A man was amusingly arranged, he designed these shocks, and he himself hoped to survive without them. More V.I. Lenin was considered the "Kremlin dreamer."

                  The revolutionary unrest of 1905 came to the village later, 1906-1907. It became clear what kind of power it was — the Russian community, the peasant way of life. The aim of the reforms was to destroy the community. Over 5 years, more than 2000000 peasants stood out from the communities, although its goals were much
                  large quantity. Relocation to the Far East and Siberia was planned. BUT Stolypin's reform failed. And there was nothing to compare with the West, climate, crop differently. No one was on the agricultural side.
                  There were 10 unsuccessful attempts on Stolypin, and only then what happened was accomplished. "The Tale of Tsar Soltan" - in a theater in Kiev. But it is still not clear how Stolypin’s killer got in, although the whole audience was checked, there were agents of the gendarmerie —---- because the tsar was present at the performance.

                    Exactly! good The goal of reform is not creation, but destruction. Hence the result: “zero”, or rather, “Minus”, all “Stolypin migrants” were for the “Reds”.

        The popular slogan "All power to the Soviets" was used by the Bolsheviks only in the short period after the February Revolution, when the Soviets were partially under their control. After the seizure of power, the Bolsheviks immediately turned the Soviets into an auxiliary appendage of the party system. There have never been real alternative elections of people's deputies to representative bodies of power in the USSR. There was only a vote for the only candidate for deputy nominated by the regional party body. People came to the polling station, put a "bird" in front of their only family name and fled to get food. Yes, in this way, people in the USSR attracted people to vote by selling scarce food products. Otherwise, what's the point of going there at all?

        Thus, in the USSR there was never a representative people's power. Just in case, we decide: REPRESENTATIVE AUTHORITY - a set of powers delegated by the people (part of it) to their elected representatives, united in a special collegial institution (parliament, municipal council) for a strictly defined period.

    The process of discrediting the USSR, even more than a quarter century after its collapse, does not weaken.
    Obviously, the current slave-owning "elite" has not yet got rid of a sense of fear that the feeder can be taken away, moreover, with the most negative consequences for the "feeding" ones.
    The meaning of the process is simple, like the thoughts of hamsters, for which it, in fact, is intended. After all, it’s much more difficult to publicize your achievements (especially when they are absent) than to water shit from strangers. Why dissuade someone that there is a class of exploiters, that there has been a merger of capital with power, that "all current major fortunes have been acquired by criminal means," if you can avoid this topic at all in any debate by focusing on some "enemy spies" - agents of influence of the enemy special services, the “fifth column”, designed to undermine the foundations and stabilized situation in society.
    A counter course to the process of discrediting the USSR is the process of “reforming” the education system, which is called upon to form not a person who thinks, but a person who believes. Smart knows, du ... cancer believes. Well, straighten this dish with stories about how the Empire flourished before the “October Revolution” and how it lived freely on the sweet and sour banks of dairy rivers.

                    The Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky, who took part in the ceremony, said that a memorial plaque to Mannerheim was installed in order to preserve the memory of a worthy citizen of Russia. “Those who are shouting now are opposed, I want to remind you: you don’t have to be holier than the pope and don’t try to be a great patriot and communist than Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. He personally defended Mannerheim by ensuring his election and preservation of him as president of Finland, and managed to treat a defeated but worthy opponent with respect, "Medinsky said.

                    The Minister also agrees that the plaque in honor of Mannerheim is another attempt by the Russian military-historical society to overcome the tragic split in our society on the eve of the centenary of the Russian revolution. "That is why we are erecting monuments throughout the country for the heroes of the First World War, who later found themselves on opposite sides of the barricades," he summed up.

                  Do you know the reasons for the appearance of Medinsky at the opening of the board?

                  Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky published a large article in Rossiyskaya Gazeta in support of the Finnish statesman and commander Karl Mannerheim.
                  The head of the Ministry of Culture spoke about the basic stages of life, the personal principles of this tsarist officer and criticized those who defiled his memorial plaque in St. Petersburg.
                  “I can understand the questions of veterans regarding the plaque: yes, I need to explain,” the minister notes. - History is a complicated thing, and in addition to black and white, there are many other colors and shades on its palette. But do not veterans destroy monuments and drill faces on electric bas-reliefs with an electric drill? ”
                  Those who “flooded with acid and chopped memorial plaques” in St. Petersburg, Medinsky compared with Ukrainian nationalists who “felled monuments to Lenin and the scout Nikolai Kuznetsov, Zhukov and Chernyakhovsky.”
                  The Minister recalled that the rehabilitation of Mannerheim in Russian history did not begin on this board. Earlier, a special exhibition dedicated to the dedication of the Finnish leader to the last Russian emperor was held in the Hermitage. The bust of the Marshal is in the St. Petersburg hotel of the same name. In addition, a book about Mannerheim was released in the famous series of life-skills books (the life of wonderful people).
                  The Finnish commander, who is hated for the war with the Soviet Union and cooperation with Hitler, "refused to participate in the storming of Leningrad." The author also emphasizes that Karl Mannerheim did not allow the Germans to strike from the positions in which the Finns were, did not fire at the blockade of the northern capital from artillery.
                  “The sluggish actions of the Finns made it possible to keep the“ Road of Life ”along Lake Ladoga,” emphasizes Vladimir Medinsky.
                  The Minister noted that a month after Mannerheim assumed the post of President of Finland in August 1944, he ordered a ceasefire.

                    He will write Medina’s book about Mannerheim, read it (online for starters), evaluate it. If there is slag, it will be the slag of Mr. Medinsky personally.
                    What, he said above, is what our modern state considers it necessary to speak to citizens. So far, Mr. Medinsky is a high-level official, he cannot say anything that contradicts the official policy of the party and government (through and through liberal and democratic, as you understand). But.
                    Unlike the previous Minister of Culture, under Mr. Medinsky, he was able to come out, albeit not a brilliant, but still quite truthful and patriotic film “28 Panfilov’s” ”(compare with“ Shtrafbat ”and“ Bastards ”). Medinsky, as Reptiloid wrote to you, came up with these recommendations: “But the dawns here are quiet”, “Welcome or ....”, “Mary the Artisan”, “Chapaev”, “Go and see.” There will be children today , they won’t, it’s hard to say. It seems to me that the whole thing is in the right PR. Make it fashionable to watch silent, black and white films and his mostwill look, you can’t drag it away from the screen.

    Although both came (independently from each other) to the same conclusion:
    "The Russian monarchy can be unraveled and overthrown only with the help of the outbreak of World War II."
    The whole difference is that Parvus turned to the German General Staff earlier, and Lenin - later.
    In addition, Lenin had a strategic goal: dropping the monarchy, seizing power himself

        I read about all this even before the era of the Internet. Starting with Solzhenitsyn
        ("Lenin in Zurich"), and others were books.
        Once it really interested me. Now - pretty indifferent.
        A 100-year history ... Lenin, of course, is a strong character, albeit antipathetic to me.

          Firstly, they found someone to believe - Solzhenitsyn, he’s also that storyteller
          Secondly, if you are indifferent, then why should this nonsense be duplicated? It has long been refuted and raised again, just get dirty.

            I do not initiate such articles, but calmly react to them.
            I am “not for white and not for red” (I am for Kerensky and bourgeois democracy good ).
            The refutations of the “Lenin case of German money” are weak.
            But, I repeat, Lenin did not take money for himself, but for the revolution.
            Such cases are common in preparations for revolutions: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

              Is the fabrication of Solzhenitsyn, who represents Lepnin as himself, stronger.
