The most famous Russian "graduates" of the French Foreign Legion. Zinovy ​​Peshkov

Now we will talk about the most famous natives of the Russian Empire among those who went through the harsh school of the French Foreign Legion. And first, let's talk about Zinovia Peshkov, whose life Louis Aragon called him one of the strangest biographies of this meaningless world.

Zinovy ​​(Yeshua-Zalman) Peshkov, the elder brother of the chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, Yakov Sverdlov, and godfather A.M. Gorky, rose to the rank of general of the French army and, among other awards, received the Military Cross with a palm branch and the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. He was well acquainted with Charles de Gaulle and Henri Philippe Peten, met with V.I. Lenin, A. Lunacharsky, Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Tse Dong. And such an outstanding career did not stop even the loss of his right hand in one of the fights in May 1915.



How Zalman Sverdlov became Zinoviy Peshkov and why he left Russia


The hero of our article was born in 1884 in Nizhny Novgorod in a large Jewish Orthodox family, his father (whose real name is Serdlin) was an engraver (according to some reports, even the owner of an engraving workshop).

There is reason to believe that the elder Sverdlov collaborated with the revolutionaries - he made fake stamps and cliches for documents. His children, Zalman and Yakov (Yankel), were also opponents of the regime, and Zalman was even arrested in 1901 - a boy from the family of engravers used his father’s workshop to make leaflets written by Maxim Gorky (and ended up in the same cell with him, under his influence).

Yakov (Yankel) Sverdlov was even more radical. The brothers often argued and quarreled, defending their point of view on the methods of revolutionary struggle and the future of Russia. It is time to recall the lines of the famous poem by I. Huberman:
Forever and not getting old
Everywhere and any time of the year
Lasts where two Jews converge
The debate about the fate of the Russian people.

Relations between the brothers were so strained that, according to some researchers, in 1902 Zalman not just left his house in Arzamas for Gorky. The fact is that then Zalman tried to recapture a certain girl from Jacob, and he decided to bring him to the police. Fortunately, his father learned about his intention, who warned his eldest son, and he, having forgotten about his feelings, went to the writer who agreed to accept him. And in the workshop of his father he was replaced by a relative - Enoch Yehuda, in Soviet times better known as Henry Yagoda.


The romantic young man Enoch Yehuda, the future head of the NKVD, the photograph was taken in 1912. In 1914, he married the niece of Zalman and Jacob Sverdlovy Ida Averbach

Zalman Sverdlov had good acting ability, which was even noted by V. Nemirovich-Danchenko, who visited Gorky: he was impressed by Zalman's reading of the role of Vaska Pepl (the character of the play “At the Bottom”). And Orthodoxy Zalman accepted for purely mercantile reasons - he, a Jew, was denied admission to the Moscow theater school. It is generally recognized that Zalman's godfather was Maxim Gorky. However, there is evidence that Gorky became the godfather of Zinovy ​​"in absentia" - at the time of his baptism, the writer might not have been in Arzamas anymore, and he was represented by another person. One way or another, Zinovy ​​officially took for himself the middle name and surname of Gorky, who often called him “spiritual son” in letters.

They talk about the father’s attitude to the baptism of his son in different ways. Some claim that he cursed him in some particularly terrible Jewish rite, others that he himself was soon baptized and married an Orthodox woman.

But back to our hero.

At that time, Zinovy ​​Peshkov was so close to the family of his godfather that he became a victim of an intra-family conflict: he was on the side of the first and official wife of the writer - Ekaterina Pavlovna, and the new, civil wife of Gorky, actress Maria Andreeva, reproached him for her revenge with dependency and accused him in parasitism.

In fairness, it must be said that Gorky himself at that time often half-jokingly called Zinovy ​​a slacker and a dope. Therefore, Andreeva's claims were most likely justified.

Maria Andreeva, Gorky's common-law wife, member of the RSDLP since 1904 (Lenin called her “Comrade Phenomenon”). After the revolution, she was the commissioner of theaters and shows of the Union of Communes of the Northern Region and the commissioner of the expert commission of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade in Petrograd, the head of the artistic and industrial department of the Soviet trade mission in Germany. She initiated the creation of the Bolshoi Drama Theater in Petrograd. Last position - Head of the Moscow House of Scientists

Such M. Andreev saw I. Repin in 1905:


As a result of this conflict, in 1904 it was no longer Zalman, but Zinovy ​​Alekseevich Peshkov who went to Canada, and then to the USA, where he changed his name and surname, temporarily becoming Nikolai Zavolzhsky.

But there is another version: Zinovy ​​could leave Russia in order to avoid mobilization to the front of the Russo-Japanese War.

Life in exile


The country of “great opportunities” and “advanced democracy” made the most unpleasant impression on him: despite all the efforts, success was not achieved.

He tried to make a living with literary work: having appeared in one of the American publishing houses, introduced himself as the son of Maxim Gorky (family, not godmother) and offered to publish his stories. Denouement of this stories It turned out to be unexpected: after paying a guest $ 200, the publisher threw his manuscript out of the window, explaining that both of them were done out of respect for his father, the great Russian writer.

Therefore, in March 1906, learning about Gorky’s arrival in the United States, Zinovy, having forgotten about the feud with Andreeva, came to him and began to act as an interpreter, having seen then many celebrities - from Mark Twain and Herbert Wells to Ernest Rutherford.


M. Gorky, M. Andreeva, and Z. Peshkov in a photograph published in The Washington Times on April 3, 1906. The caption reads “Gorky came to get the money to free Russia”

Gorky's popularity throughout the world was really great. In the 11th volume of Cambridge Contemporary History, published in 1904, in the section “Literature, Art, Thought” the names of four writers are named who “most fully express the mood of modernity”: Anatole France, Leo Tolstoy, Thomas Hardy and Maxim Bitter. In the USA, at one of Gorky’s meetings with feminists, the ladies who wanted to shake his hand nearly fought in line.

But this trip of Gorky ended in scandal. Dissatisfied with the "left" views of the "guest" publishers of American newspapers unearthed the story of his separation from his first wife. The result was a series of publications that the writer who left his wife and children in Russia is now traveling around the United States with his mistress (recall that Andreeva was only Gorky's civil wife).

The New York World was the first to “shoot”, which posted two photographs on the front page on April 14, 1906. The first was signed: "Maxim Gorky, his wife and children."
The inscription below read:

"The so-called Madame Gorky, which is actually not Madame Gorky at all, but the Russian actress Andreeva, with whom he has lived since the moment of separation from his wife several years ago."


Photos of the New York World newspaper

In Puritan America of those years, this was a very serious compromising evidence, as a result, hotel owners began to refuse to populate such scandalous guests. The writer first had to live in one of the rooms of the house rented by socialist writers, and then take advantage of the hospitality of the sympathetic family Martin, who invited the outcasts to his estate (here he continued to receive guests and engage in literary work). The invitation to the White House was canceled, the administration of Barnard Women's College expressed "censure" to Professor John Dewey (a famous American philosopher of the first half of the twentieth century) for allowing minor students to meet with the "bigam". Even Mark Twain, one of the initiators of his invitation to the United States, refused ties with Gorky. Mark Twain stated then:

“If the law is respected in America, then custom is holy. Laws are written on paper, and customs are carved in stone. And from a foreigner visiting this country, they are expected to observe its customs. ”

That is, it turns out that the “democratic” America of those years lived not according to the laws, but “according to the concepts”.

But they met Gorky with these pictures:


The result was only worse: Gorky’s attitude towards the United States, initially quite benevolent, changed dramatically, the writer’s views became more radical. But he continued to be the idol of the left intelligentsia of the whole world. One of the answers to this insulting persecution was the famous story “The City of the Yellow Devil”.

Because of this scandal of money for the “needs of the revolution,” Gorky managed to collect less than he expected. But the sum of 10 thousand dollars was very impressive at that time: the US currency was then provided with gold, and at the turn of the 0,04837th-1,557514th centuries the gold content of one dollar was XNUMX ounces, that is XNUMX grams of gold.

On April 21, 2020, the price of an ounce of gold was $ 1688 per ounce, or 4052 rubles, 14 kopecks per gram. That is, one US dollar in 1906 would now cost about 6 rubles. Thus, if we exchange the money received by Gorky for gold, it would turn out that the writer had collected donations in the amount equivalent to the current 311 million 63 thousand rubles.

At the end of 1906, Gorky and his godson broke up: the writer went to Capri Island, Zinovy ​​was hired as an assistant fireman on a merchant ship going to New Zealand, where he had long wanted to visit. He didn’t like it here either: he called the self-righteous inhabitants of Auckland “stupid rams” and “pathetic sheep,” confident that they live in the best country in the world.

As a result, he again came to Gorky and lived on Capri from 1907 about 1910. He met with V. Lenin, A. Lunacharsky, F. Dzerzhinsky, I. Repin, V. Veresaev, I. Bunin and many other famous and interesting people .

Once again, Zinovy ​​had to leave the house of the writer because of a scandal over Maria Andreeva, who this time accused him of stealing money from the cash desk, which received numerous donations from liberal-minded representatives of the bourgeoisie (both Russian and foreign from among those called then "limousine socialists"). The offended Peshkov left Gorky for another writer known at that time - A. Amfiteatrov, becoming his secretary. Bitter communication with the godson did not interrupt: apparently, the charges of Andreeva did not seem convincing to him.

At this time, Peshkov married Lydia Burago, the daughter of a Cossack officer who gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth.

The life and fate of Elizabeth Peshkova


Elizaveta Peshkova received a good education, graduating from the department of Romance languages ​​of the University of Rome. In 1934, she married a Soviet diplomat I. Markov and left for the USSR. In 1935 she gave birth to a son, Alexander, and in 1936-1937. again she was in Rome, where her husband, being a career intelligence officer, was acting the 2nd secretary of the embassy. They were forced to leave Italy after the authorities accused I. Markov of espionage. They could not provide evidence of Markov's guilt, from which it can be concluded that Peshkov's son-in-law was a high-class professional. On February 17, 1938, in Moscow, Elizabeth gave birth to a second son, Alexei, and on March 31, she and Markov were arrested - already as Italian spies. After refusing to testify against her husband, Elizabeth was sent into exile for 10 years. In 1944, she was sought after by the former Soviet military attache in Rome, Nikolai Biyazi, who knew her from his work in Italy, who at that time was the director of the military institute of foreign languages. He secured the return of an old acquaintance from exile and provided her with a 2-room apartment and helped to find his sons. At his institute, she taught French and Italian, in 1946 she was even given the rank of lieutenant, and in 1947 she was appointed head of the Italian language department.

But after Biyazi’s dismissal, his ward was also dismissed, ordering her to leave Moscow. She worked as a French teacher in one of the villages of the Krasnodar Territory, and after rehabilitation, as a nurse and librarian and archivist of the Sochi Museum of Local Lore. In 1974, the Soviet authorities allowed her to visit her father’s grave in Paris, and in the same year Italian relatives found her: she then visited her half-sister Maria (Maria-Vera Fiaschi) 5 times, who was 11 years younger than her. The eldest son of Elizabeth became the captain of the marine corps of the Soviet Army, the youngest - a journalist.

But now back to her father, Zinovy ​​Peshkov, who made yet another unsuccessful attempt to “conquer America”: working in the library of the University of Toronto, he invested all his money in a piece of land in Africa, but the deal turned out to be extremely unsuccessful. So I had to return to Capri - but not to Gorky, but to the Amphitheater.

Stars, as we see, Zinovy ​​Peshkov was not enough then, but everything changed with the beginning of World War I, when a 30-year-old man who had a reputation as a chronic loser finally found his place in life.

The beginning of military career


Succumbing to a general impulse, Zinovy ​​Peshkov reached Nice, where he enlisted in one of the infantry regiments. When the authorities learned that the rookie speaks five languages, Zinovy ​​was instructed to restore order in the regimental archive. After completing this assignment, he was awarded the rank of ordinary second class, but it turned out that he was admitted to this regiment by mistake - without French citizenship, Zinovy ​​could serve only in the Foreign Legion, to which he was transferred to the Second Regiment. By April 1, 1915 he rose to the rank of corporal, but on May 9 he was seriously wounded near Arras, having lost most of his right hand.

Former serkte6ar of Stalin B. Bazhenov claimed:

“When after some time the news came that he (Zinovy) had lost his hand in battle, the old Sverdlov was very worried:

"Which hand?"

And when it turned out that the right one, there was no limit to triumph: according to the formula of the Jewish ritual curse, when the father curses his son, he must lose his right hand. ”

On August 28, 1915, Marshal Joseph Joffre awarded Zinovy ​​Peshkov with a name weapons and with a military cross with a palm branch and, apparently, to finally get rid of it, he signed an order to confer upon him the rank of lieutenant. As a wounded legionnaire, Peshkov could now bother about obtaining French citizenship and the appointment of a military pension. Any other, probably, would have lived the rest of his life as an invalid, occasionally speaking to the audience at ceremonial meetings dedicated to the celebration of a date. But Zinovy ​​Peshkov was not "any." Healing the wound, he achieved return to military service.


Zinovy ​​Peshkov, June 1916

From June 22, 1916 he was engaged in staff work, and then went along the diplomatic line: he went to the United States, where he remained until the beginning of 1917. Upon returning to Paris, he received the rank of captain, the Order of the Legion of Honor ("for exceptional services to the allied countries") and French citizenship.

Diplomatic missions in Russia


In May of the same year, Peshkov, in the rank of a diplomatic officer of the third class, arrived in Petrograd as a representative of France at the Russian Ministry of War, which was then headed by A. Kerensky (from Kerensky Peshkov managed to receive the Order of St. Vladimir of the 4th degree). In Petrograd, Zinovy, after a long separation, met with Gorky.

There is evidence of a meeting between Peshkov and Yakov Sverdlov. According to one version, the brothers “did not recognize” each other at the meeting and did not shake hands. On the other hand, they secluded themselves in a room for a long time (from which they "came out with white faces"), the conversation obviously did not ask, and led to a final breakdown in relations. According to the third, on which J. Etinger insists, referring to the testimony of the half-brother of Jacob Sverdlov German, Zinovy ​​“in response to his brother’s attempt to embrace him, sharply pushed him away, declaring that he would conduct the conversation only in French.” The latest version seems to me the most believable.

And here is another brother of Zinovia, Benjamin, in 1918 returned to Russia covered by the civil war from prosperous America, where he worked in one of the banks. He served as Commissar of Railways, in 1926 he became a member of the Presidium of the Supreme Economic Council, then he was the head of the scientific and technical department of the Supreme Economic Council, secretary of the All-Union Association of Science and Technology and the director of the road research institute.

After the October Revolution, Zinovy ​​Peshkov returned to France for a short time, but returned to Russia in 1918 as the Entente "curator" Kolchak, who brought an act recognizing him as the "supreme ruler" of Russia. For this, the "Omsk ruler" awarded him the Order of St. Vladimir of the 3rd degree.

You may have heard a historical joke that from the Kolchak headquarters Z. Peshkov sent an insulting and threatening telegram to his brother Jacob, in which there were the words: “we will hang” (you and Lenin). How to relate to such messages?

It must be understood that Peshkov was not a private individual and, moreover, was not an officer of the white army. On the contrary, at that time he was a high-ranking French diplomat. The word “we” in his telegram addressed to the chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of Soviet Russia should not be read “I and Kolchak”, but “France and the countries of the Entente”. And this would mean recognition of the fact of France’s participation in the civil war in Russia on the side of the “whites” - exactly what this state has always denied and denies (like Great Britain, the USA, Japan), representing the presence of its troops in the territory of a foreign country as “humanitarian mission. " The Bolsheviks would publish this telegram in the newspapers and then at all conferences they would poke the French into it like a tattered cat in a pool made by it. And Peshkov would fly out of public service with a “black ticket”. But this man was never demented, and therefore did not send such a telegram (which, incidentally, no one had ever seen and never held in his hands).

Then Peshkov was part of the French mission at Wrangel and in Georgia led by the Mensheviks.

It should be said that Peshkov’s choice as a French emissary was not very successful: very many both at Kolchak’s headquarters and at Wrangel did not trust him and suspected of spying on the “Reds”.

On January 14, 1920, Zinovy ​​returned to military service for a short time, becoming captain of the 1st Armored Cavalry Regiment of the Foreign Legion, in which former White Guard officers served mainly, but on January 21, 1921 he again turned to diplomatic work.

In 1921, Peshkov briefly became the public secretary of the International Relief Commission, starving in Russia. But, according to numerous testimonies of people who knew him, he did not show any interest either in his family or in his abandoned homeland either then or later. The new job did not cause any particular enthusiasm: he stubbornly sought permission to return to military service. Finally, in 1922 he managed to get an appointment in Morocco.

Back in line


In 1925, Zinovy ​​Peshkov, as the commander of the battalion of the First Regiment of the Foreign Legion (40 of his soldiers were Russians), took part in the Reef War, injured in the left leg, the second Military Cross with a palm branch and earned a strange and funny nickname from his subordinates - Red Penguin . While in the hospital, he wrote the book “Sounds of the forge. Life in the Foreign Legion ”, which was published in 1926 in the USA, and in 1927 was published in France under the title“ Foreign Legion in Morocco ”.

In the preface to one of the editions of this book, A. Morois writes:

“A foreign legion is more than an army of the military, it is an institution. Conversations with Zinovy ​​Peshkov give the impression of the almost religious nature of this institution. Zinovy ​​Peshkov speaks of a legion with burning eyes, he is like an apostle of this religion. ”

From 1926 to 1937 Peshkov was again in the diplomatic service (from 1926 to 1930 - at the French Foreign Ministry, from 1930 to 1937 - in the mission of the High Commissioner in the Levant), and then returned to Morocco as commander of the 3rd battalion of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Foreign Legion. After the outbreak of World War II, he fought on the Western Front, and then told an unlikely story of fleeing from France about how he had taken a German officer hostage and demanded an airplane to Gibraltar. According to a more likely version, his connection was part of the troops loyal to the Vichy government. Not wanting to serve the “traitor Peten,” Peshkov resigned due to reaching the age limit for his rank, after which he calmly left for London.

At the end of 1941, he was a representative of de Gaulle in the colonies of South Africa, was engaged in the protection of allied transports, in 1943 - received the rank of general.

In April 1944, Peshkov finally switched to diplomatic work and was sent to the headquarters of Chiang Kai-shek, with whom he was destined to meet again in 1964 - on the island of Taiwan.

On September 2, 1945, Zinovy, as part of the French delegation, was aboard the battleship Missouri, where a pact on the surrender of Japan was signed.

From 1946 to 1949 Peshkov was in diplomatic work in Japan (in the rank of head of the French mission). In 1950, he retired, finally receiving the title of corps general. He completed his last major diplomatic mission in 1964, handing Mao Zedong an official document recognizing France as communist China.

November 27, 1966 he died in Paris and was buried in the cemetery of Saint-Genevieve-des-Bois. According to his will, an inscription was carved on the stove: "Zinovy ​​Peshkov, Legionnaire."


As we see, Zinovy ​​Peshkov attached great importance to his service in the Foreign Legion, was brave, had military awards, but he did not perform any special military feats in his life and was not a military diplomat, but most of his life. In the diplomatic field, he achieved the greatest success. In this regard, it is significantly inferior to many other Russian "volunteers" of the legion, for example, D. Amilakhvari and S. Andolenko. About S.P. Andolenko, who managed to rise to the rank of brigadier general and the posts of regiment commander and deputy inspector of the legion, was described in the article “Russian volunteers of the French Foreign Legion”. And we will talk about Dmitry Amilahvari in the article “The French Foreign Legion in the First and Second World Wars”.

Rodion Yakovlevich Malinovsky, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, People’s Hero of Yugoslavia, Soviet Marshal who became the Minister of Defense of the USSR, was much more successful in the military field.

He will be described in the next article.

      Dmitry, I could be wrong, but it seems that it was Sverdlov who introduced the fashion for a leather jacket, so beloved by the commissars. Although a leather jacket was in the army before that, it was for units of Russian armored vehicles of the WWI era. hi

        Good morning, noble pan hi wink
        Interested in your comment. Got into the Internet. Now I can give information.
        Fashion appeared on her in the years 1877-1878 during the Russo-Turkish war, thanks to the princess Maria Fedorovna. The Red Cross patronized by her distributed them to the officers participating in this war. Wearing such jackets has become a fashionable sign of a database participant.
        In imperial Russia it was called "Swedish", and the officers of the Russian fleet were the first to wear it. The first mentions of leather jackets and raincoats are in the registers of uniforms in the 1860s. Sea wolves, however, disliked this type of clothing. Those who served in Vladivostok complained, for example, that the "Swedish" jackets from the humid climate "grew overgrown with fungus" and even rotted.
        But on land, leather jackets became more and more popular.
        If in the 1910th century it was worn only by naval officers, then in the XNUMXs, "Swedish" jackets became an important element of the uniforms of those parts that performed "dirty" technical work - engineering, automobile, aviation, aeronautics. Motorists wore brown leather jackets with a low stand-up collar, and the pilots are double-breasted from a black husky with a turndown cloth collar. In black leather, a helmet with goggles, the aviators looked very impressive. They were the main mods of the Russian army.
        With the outbreak of World War I, leather jackets became popular with front-line soldiers. They were even worn by those ranks to whom jackets were not officially supposed, including sisters of mercy. Everything from guards cavalrymen to modest army doctors flaunted in black or brown leather jackets, and some also in plain leather riding breeches.

        But in 1917, many appreciated another quality of leather - it reliably hid the social origin of the owner. It was worn by workers, sailors, and officers. In revolutionary Petrograd, a leather jacket helped camouflage, some even saved lives.
        Having seized the tsarist army’s VI warehouses in the spring of 1918, Trotsky ordered Swedish jackets to be distributed to the commissars of Red Army detachments. From now on, they become the hallmark of the commissioners.
        His main propagandist for this was Leon Trotsky, the People’s Commissar of War and the Pre-War Council. He dressed the guards of his train from head to toe in red leather uniforms.

        So he is the trendsetter of the "commissary" fashion.
        Something like that

          This armored car itself is also interesting. His photo seems to be the most of the Austins in this series.
          In 1918, the car "floats" as part of the echelon of the insurgent Czechs, who cleansed Penza of Soviet power. One turret is removed, the second machine gun is installed in the front plate.

              No, a separate form was sewn. Also, the units received a separate emblem for epaulettes and other insignia - they consisted of the combined emblems of machine gunners and motorists.
              Emblems of the arms of the Russian army as of 1917:
              1-grenadiers. 2-artillery. 3- art warehouses and fire stockpiles. 4- artillery parks. 5th aviation. 6-balloonists. 7th general emblem of engineering troops. 8- pontoon units and detachments. 9-demolitions. 10-fort units. 11-min units. 12 engineering parks. 13 telegraph operators and telephone operators. 14-spark squads (radio communications). 15 sapper teams and companies of infantry regiments and divisions. 16 squads. 17 armored squads (armored car units). 18 machine gunners.19-gun armored squads. 20-scooters (cyclists). 21th militia.

              Also, for clarity, a similar emblem is clearly visible on this all-wheel drive Jeffery armored car of the Victor Poplavko model (two top photos).

            Why are you writing this?
            I am not a fan of either Y. Sverdlov or Z. Peshkov. Just do not love, not true
            Here is the clan of Y. Sverdlov:
            Father - Michael (Moses) Izrailevich Sverdlov (d. In 1921)
            Mother - Elizabeth Solomonovna (d. In 1900)

            Brother - Lev Mikhailovich (d. In 1914)
            Brother - Veniamin Mikhailovich - was shot in 1938
            Sister - Sophia (d. In 1951)
            Sister - Sarah (d. In 1964)
            Brothers from his father’s second marriage - Herman (d. In 1954) and Alexander (d. In 1970)
            Wife - Sverdlova (nee Novgorodtseva) Klavdiya Timofeevna (d. In 1960)
            Son - Andrei Yakovlevich Sverdlov (d. In 1969) - the son of the Sverdlovs, Yakov Mikhailovich and Klavdiya Timofeevna. Three times - in 1935, 1937 and 1951 - he was arrested by the NKVD for "anti-Soviet" statements among young people, which did not prevent him from serving in the central office of the NKGB and the Ministry of State Security of the USSR.
            Daughter - Vera (d. In 2001)
            Niece - Ida Averbakh (Berry) - was shot on June 16, 1938.
            Grand-nephew - Heinrich Averbach (Berry) - son of Ida and Heinrich Berry (d. In 2003)
            The only repressed are the niece, the wife of Yagoda, and the Trotskyist brother. The rest died their deaths.

                History does not like the subjunctive mood, but Y. Sverdlov was an outstanding statesman of Russia. It was he who created the state apparatus of Soviet Russia with which it withstood intervention and civil war. What is only worth returning to Russia Ukraine from under the German and French occupation! The partisan war against the Germans, the liquidation of the German governor in Ukraine, the assassination attempts on the German puppet of the hetman are considered to be unsurpassed in effectiveness by the actions of partisans and underground workers. But Y. Sverdlov knew all the outstanding revolutionaries and appointed them to work in accordance with their abilities. I suppose, had he not died from the Spaniard, Stalin would have remained a petty politician of the 20s. The appointees of Stalin were not so vivid and independent politicians as the appointees of Y. Sverdlov.

                  Not interesting, but amusing, both the article and most of the comments.
                  Stalin, together with Sverdlov, were in exile together, in the same hut, spitting on each other in a bowl with a stew, apparently on the basis of Marxist disagreements. Further, the two future leaders of the Soviet of Deputies went down the slope, that is, someone was the first to cut someone out, Stalin .
                  The city of Yekaterinburg is a difficult city, they voted for the collapse of the Union, Rossel - with his republic, the mayor (former) was chosen cool, the king was killed, the riots around the park, the snickering city and so on, and you are talking about some street named after the Satanist Sverdlov (in the city of demons)

                    All splashed out on the fan, or is there still malice on the medical duck?
                    There are no light cities in the Urals where you can earn a year or take two crops during the warm season, the seas coming in five hundred miles - so you won’t catch the gobies for breakfast and you won’t earn transit trade!
                    Mining cities were born in the fire of a hearth and under the blows of water hammers! Many were originally built as fortresses, most of them at the dawn of formation were in sieges, I am several times like Chebarkul and Chelyabinsk several times !!! No wonder the old name of the Urals is Stone! And it would be wonderful if the indigenous Uralians themselves did not have a stone heavy character !!!
                    The Ural Republic is a dark business! Moscow is used to sucking from the outskirts, but slipping into double standards of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan - all, but not at the expense of the golden-headed, but “we will raise the outskirts” !!! E. Rossel with his demarche, broke stereotypes and put an end to the parade of sovereignty of the Russian SSR !!! By the way, he first washed EBN and did not let the Urals and the Trans-Urals be robbed !!! Now you have an argument for accusing Yekaterinburg of the rich !!! Would it be better how industrial Orsk dies today? Or his neighbor Novotroitsk !!!?
                    By the way, Moscow is still true to its traditions, what was the purpose of sculpting the Urals in the Volga Federal District - in the form of the Perm Territory? Or how beautiful the capital took the military exhibition from Nizhny Tagil !!! Purely because of logistic considerations !!!
                    They chose the mayor, but they chose in spite of the united Russia, the oligarchs and the region !!! Many cities of Russia could brag of free and fair elections !!! Basically we see the reverse jumping on the hind legs !!! But people are light, kind and sensitive! They keep their nose in the wind and are ready to lick the toilet bowl that is pointed from the top! Moreover, as well as to fall to the cross of the cleric !!! Even let the iPhone of the latest model be mounted in it, rubies, diamonds and cast in 999 gold !!! Few people wanted to hear that instead of a park they wanted to put not only a church, but also a couple of business centers with a shopping complex !!! Apparently the word of God without rags from Guche and Cardin n comme il faut !!!
                    Well, the last. Human life is sacred, but Nicholas 2, who threw my Fatherland into the heat of war and revolution, I personally do not mind !!! If he showed even a fraction of the qualities of his predecessors, then my great-grandfather did not lose two siblings, and the second did not face a choice for whom and against whom! History does not have a syllable declension and perhaps you are right, the Urals are a little demons and devils, believing in a silver hoof, a jump and a golden snake, because without the application of unbending power and faith in ourselves, we cannot create the man-made wealth of the Stanovoi Range of Russia !!!
                    In fact, we are used to doing, not asking !!! Envy silently!
                    Sincerely, Gornozavodskaya Kote !!!

                      Good evening Dmitry! hi
                      I was not very interested in the Kremlin camarilla of the revolutionary period, but somehow it came to my mind that it was Yakov Sverdlov who gave the order to shoot the tsar’s family. Do you have any information? I don’t give a damn about the king-priest and his half, but I don’t like when children and women are killed.

                      Do you know who of this trinity "took care" of the royal family so effectively?

                        it somehow surfaced from memory that it was precisely Yakov Sverdlov who gave the order for the execution of the royal family.

                        Good evening, Konstantin hi As far as I know, Leon Trotsky was the first to launch this version from Mexico. Lev Davydych had some kind of strange "love" for Sverdlov. He accused the deceased not only of this, but also of Sverdlov's desire to make the Central Executive Committee the supreme power in the republic, pushing both Lenin and the Council of People's Commissars aside. In his letters to his supporters, he called him nothing other than the "black devil" and Andryusha Uralsky, who with his ex-fighters crushed not only the entire proletariat, but also all the "lumpen-criminal elements" of the Urals. I do not undertake - I do not know. But here are some facts:
                        1. Trotsky wrote that Sverdlov came to the revolution from the criminal world, falling into places of detention under the influence of the Bolsheviks. The archives of the Nizhny Novgorod region and the document funds of the office of the Nizhny Novgorod police chief and local gendarmerie, as well as all police stations, do not contain any evidence that Sverdlov himself, or someone of his relatives, went through any criminal cases, including theft and robbery.
                        2. Trotsky attributed to Sverdlov the authorship of the directive of the Organizational Bureau of the Central Committee of the RCP (b) dated January 24, 1919, "On the implementation of harsh punitive measures in the suppression of Cossack uprisings against Soviet power on the Don." As it turned out later, the author of this directive turned out to be none other than the future Mexican exile himself.
                        3. In 1905, Sverdlov organized the arrival from Ekaterinburg to revolutionary Moscow and St. Petersburg of the combatants of the groups E. S. Kadomtsev and F. F. Syromolotov, who created the fighting squads of the expropriators-militants in the Urals, where they armed and organized fighting squads of the working capitals, which served as an impetus to the first Russian revolution of 1905 and the expansion of Sverdlov's fame.
                        3. After the assassination attempt on Lenin on August 30, 1918, Sverdlov signed the appeal of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on September 2 "on the transformation of the Soviet republic into a single military camp", supplemented by the Council of People's Commissars signed by Sverdlov on September 5, "Decree on Red Terror," which declared a massive red terror against all enemies of the Revolution .
                        4. While Lenin was being treated, Sverdlov ignored all decisions on the election of the interim acting chairman of the Council of People's Commissars and personally performed his functions, working in Lenin’s office and signing documents for him, and also held meetings of the Council of People's Commissars
                        5. Trotsky in his memoirs indicates the participation of Y. M. Sverdlov in the execution of the imperial family, referring to G.Z. Besedovsky. However, the reliability of the statements of L. D. Trotsky is disputed by a number of researchers. However, the fact is that at the beginning of July 1918 the Ural military commissar Philip Goloshchekin went to Moscow to Lenin and Sverdlov to decide on the fate of the tsar’s family. The results of his trip are still classified as secrecy.

    By the way, look at the portraits of Ekaterina Peshkova and Maria Andreeva. In my opinion, they are very similar. I have heard that every man, in fact, has been looking for the same woman all his life. If it doesn't work the first time, it finds almost the same one. Women too. In the good and funny American TV series Friends (based on which the terrible and unfunny Univer was made in Russia), this is played up - when Rachel finds a copy of Ross and does not understand why everyone around her is surprised at her choice.

        The adopted son of Stalin, Artem Sergeev, has a rather interesting line in the book "Conversations about Stalin"

        Father used to go around the house in his pajamas ... but somehow he got sick and was lying in bed, we came with Vasily to visit him and noticed a pale tattoo on his shoulder. Matroskaya? we asked. Iosif Vissarionovich answered no, and hid his hand under the blanket: - From hard labor, not from a great mind. Did Lenin have one too? Father cheered up and laughed a little muffled: Well, where did he get this from? He wasn’t even in prisons. Here Kamo and comrade Andrey never took off those shirts - they were all painted. And Comrade Andrew is who ?. Father looked at both of us in amazement - You need to know such things! Comrade Andrey is Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov. He spent twelve years in prisons and hard labor.

            Good afternoon! If you are interested, I can describe how this happened in the late 90s in 2 REP. On the eve of the holiday, the corporals warn the young (and remind the old-timers) that they leave their bowlers in front of the bunks. In the morning, after lifting, it is forbidden to get out of bed until all sous - officiers go around all the legionnaires and feed them breakfast. Then the youngest legionary receives temporary comic powers. As a rule, this was expressed in attracting sergeants to morning cleaning. By lunchtime, “the day of self-government” was ending, and the youth “grabbed” everything from the sergeants). Officers, as a rule, did not participate in this.

You are modestly silent about this. The wives of the Soviet leadership are entirely Jewish, and it was no accident (such conversations were, slipped)

            Hello Anton! Jewishness is a religion.
            A newly converted Jew is officially regarded as equal - moreover, comrades who have accepted a giyur, such as Rabbis Akiva or Herod the Great, can be religious authorities, kings, etc.
            But - within the Orthodox community, such / such does not shine a marriage with a rabbi's daughter, an "intelligent student" (Torah expert), etc. However, if a person is, say, a billionaire and spends money on charity, then he can count on any post, marriage and status of special respect among ultra-Orthodox laughing
            But, by and large, this is considered a DURAK. According to Judaism, a non-Jew who observes only 7 commandments gets into the "next (ideal) World". For a Jew-born, this requires observance of 613 commandments (after the destruction of the Temple, about 400). Moreover, he condemns himself to manifestations of anti-Semitism in his address, so it looks like eccentricity.

                With American Jews, everything is much more interesting - one of the best hospitals in the United States, Mount Sinai, was opened in New York to serve the Jewish population, which many hospitals refused to take for WHITE, and to employ Jewish doctors, who are the bearers of democracy and equality did not arrange in their hospitals. The attitude towards Jewish doctors changed during the Civil War - the sensible organization of the reception of the wounded from the front was impressed by the establishment and the head of the hospital was appointed to lead the entire organization of treatment of Yankee front-line soldiers.
                In the 30s, the United States introduced a percentage rate for Jews entering Harvard and several other Ivy League universities - it was abolished by the beginning of WWII so that undesirable associations would not arise.
                McCarthyism also affected many Jews, but it is not unfounded here - very many adhered to pro-communist views, fell for the transfer of nuclear technology of the USSR, etc.

    Thanks to the author for the article!
    Very interesting and informative.
    After reading, you begin to understand even more that the expression "Everyone knows each other after six handshakes" is very close to the truth.
    Extremely surprised by this moment:

    According to a more probable version, his connection was part of the troops loyal to the Vichy government. Not wanting to serve the “traitor Peten,” Peshkov resigned due to reaching the age limit for his rank, after which he calmly left for London.


    I honestly did not understand at all. That is, the French army "lay down", the enemy came and occupied the country, and our GG "resigns" and goes, damn it, to London. What is characteristic is that he, a wholly-owned Jew, and still belonging to the defeated army, is not only not arrested, but also accepted the “resignation” and released abroad.
    It doesn’t fit in my head at all. It seems that we had a bloody war, and in France - solid little bittersweet and hahanki for coffee in the morning.
    Perhaps we should not be so upset that these people do not come to us on May 9th.
    And you probably don’t need to invite them.
    I think so.

    PS After reading about the fate of Elizaveta Peshkova, you understand why the Institute of Military Translators was called by the "people" the Institute of Blat and Communications named after Biyazi.

      Through the same Spain - it is quite possible. They could not resist. He did not want to serve the traitor. Leave the partisan .. a Jew with one hand? There were these partisans ... the cat cried, compared to our country. I made my best choice - I went to serve in the Free France. But a number of French pilots fought in the Normandy-Niemen, the same choice!
      I can be mistaken, but, as I understand it, the tin on the deportation of Jews to extermination camps there began the year in 1942. In our country, it began to be carried out by the Germans from the first days of the war - the execution of Jewish prisoners of war, executions of the Jewish population, etc. The French Holocaust appointed the main sadist Klaus Barbie. Or, as we used to distort his name in the French manner - Klaus Barbier.
      On the other hand, I think the Germans were deeply concerned about who to kill in the USSR. It was just that some were ordered to be destroyed, while against others there was freedom of action, including "actions of intimidation." And when one has a gun and the other does not, it gives rise to a situation of mass murders, and we have such losses of civilians. hi

              Do not consider him a banal fittler - for romantic reasons he screwed. Apparently the film "My Big Greek Wedding" shocked his imagination so much that he realized that without a Greek woman, life would be wasted.

      There is a proven way - if you do not understand, figure it out before gushing with matches.
      At the time of the surrender of France, Peshkov was in Morocco the commander of the 3rd battalion of the 2nd regiment of the legion. From Morocco you can get to London bypassing France, look around the globe.

        If we take into account that such articles often embellish the true picture of what is happening, then we can understand why there are inconsistencies in the description of the biography of such an outstanding adventurer as Z. Peshkov. Perhaps the author simply did not take into account that almost 100% of Peshkov was engaged in military intelligence during his work in embassies and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was a resident, and it is possible that special services not only from France could use him:
        From 1926 to 1937 Peshkov was again in the diplomatic service (from 1926 to 1930 - at the French Foreign Ministry,

        That is why he could be in London in some complicated way, and not only the French authorities helped him in this.

    [quote = Krasnodar] A Jewess does not have the right to marry a foreigner - only if he has passed the giyur - the ceremony of transition to Judaism.
    You write about the "Rothschild rule" - girls can marry non-vreys, because our nationality is passed on by their mother. Not observed - the wedding of the last offspring with her sister Paris Hilton, although she could have accepted the conversion like Ivanka Trump.

      Or maybe you shouldn’t joke like that? For a general familiarization with the question. About 500 thousand Jews fought in the ranks of the Red Army during the war years, about 200 thousand of them died. 157 people were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Not a little, really? * joke * -unsuccessful.
