The leader of the world proletariat. Part of 2. Why tried to kill Lenin
Different attitudes towards Lenin and Trotsky on the part of the customers of the revolution in Russia can be noted in the future. Lenin first hid in Finland, then with difficulty crossed over to Sweden to Germany. In Germany, wandering without shelter. Trotsky, as well as his patron Parvus, immediately organized an escape from exile. They quietly left Russia through Finland. Trotsky wrote the book "There and back." Immediately there were publishers, the book was promoted to a bestseller.
Lenin first settled in Switzerland, then moved to France. In Paris, Lenin lived until the summer of 1912. Lenin and the majority of revolutionaries at that time experienced serious financial difficulties. England and France were preparing for war, so they tried to get closer to Russia, to bind more strongly to themselves. Financial flows are dry. Work almost stalled. Circulations of party newspapers were small. At the same time, the bickering continued between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, other social democratic groups. Lack of money only increased contention, it was more difficult to share scarce sources.
But there were exceptions. Trotsky did not experience financial difficulties. He lived in Vienna, rented a good apartment, joined the Social Democratic Party of Austria and Germany, became a correspondent for the German newspaper "Forverts", received decent fees. In 1908 — 1912, he was helped to publish the newspaper Pravda in Vienna.
It should be noted that the Bolsheviks had little or no relation to February 1917 of the year. Lenin learned about the February revolution in Russia from a newspaper. After the defeat of the revolution in 1905-1907. Lenin did not expect a revolution in the coming years. He even declared that he did not expect to live until the coming revolution.
Vladimir Lenin gave February 1917 a perfectly correct assessment - the “conspiracy of the Anglo-French imperialists.” The monarchy in Russia was overthrown by the Russian "elite" - grand dukes, aristocrats, dignitaries, generals, Duma liberal-democratic figures, bankers and industrialists (many of them were in Masonic lodges, whose activities were coordinated from France and England). Full support for the Russian conspirators was provided by the English and French ambassadors. Therefore, the then and modern accusations of the Bolsheviks that they destroyed "historical Russia ”, completely groundless. This is a mistake or a conscious attempt to whitewash the true culprits of the death of the Russian Empire - the degenerate imperial "elite" who wanted to overthrow the autocracy, which prevented them from living in the West. A significant part of the "elite" dreamed of establishing a constitutional monarchy or republic, following the example of England or France.
Only the Mensheviks, who were connected with the conspirators through Kerensky, quickly oriented themselves. However, the general collapse and disorganization contributed to the growth of popularity and strength of the Bolsheviks. The interim government declared a general political amnesty, revolutionaries returned from exile and prisons. Of the major Bolshevik leaders, Stalin and Kamenev were the first to arrive in Petrograd. It should be noted that Lenin consciously supported Stalin, seeing in him a foothold in the fight against political opponents. The convicted Duma faction of the Bolsheviks arrived from Siberia. From that moment on, the Bolsheviks, in an atmosphere of increasing chaos, began to quickly gain strength. This is not surprising - they had the political will and had a real program. It was an objective process, the Bolsheviks presented the draft of new Russia (the Soviet project), therefore they received the support of ordinary people.
Revolutionaries from abroad returned differently. Trotsky and his team mostly traveled from the USA. Their task was to make the revolution in Russia permanent (continuous). The revolution in Russia (and then Germany) was supposed to be the basis for building the New World Order. Moreover, Trotsky was somewhat slowed down in Canada. This was done to ensure that Lenin, with the help of the Germans, first came to Russia. As a result, the "German trace" of the Russian revolution came to the fore. Russia destroyed, and all the blame blamed on the Germans. The subversive work of the United States, Britain and France against Russia was hiding.
"German version" played out on the notes. The Germans themselves were interested in the transfer of Lenin to Petrograd. The German authorities allowed Vladimir Ulyanov, along with 35 party colleagues, to leave the train from Switzerland through the German Empire. General Ludendorff believed that the transfer of Lenin to Russia is expedient from a military point of view. Berlin guessed that the Russian autocracy was piled by the "allies" of Russia on the Entente. The Provisional Government was controlled by the Entente and was going to wage war to the bitter end. Lenin and the Bolsheviks could either seize power (under the most successful set of circumstances), or destabilize the situation in Russia to such an extent that it could not effectively conduct military operations against Germany. As a result, it turned out that the Provisional Government, by its actions, destroyed the system of governance in Russia so much that the Bolsheviks simply had to come to the Winter Palace and take power. At the same time only a few people died.
Why did you want to kill Lenin?
The Bolsheviks were not a single organization. Trotsky, Sverdlov and their “party” (the Trotskyists-internationalists) actually acted in the interests of the “financial international”. Their goal was the destruction of the Russian civilization, they wanted to exsanguinate the Russian people. With their hands, the owners of the Western project planned to solve the “Russian question” once and for all. Russia has already been divided into spheres of influence. So, the USA with the help of the Czechoslovak Corps wanted to get Siberia and the Far East (the Czechoslovakians controlled the only communication of a huge region - Transsib). At the same time, Russia was to become the base for the “world revolution”, which was to lead to the complete victory of the architects of the New World Order.
Do not forget the revolutionaries and their masters and pockets stuff. During the revolution, the Civil War and NEP, Russia underwent an unprecedented robbery (we saw a similar picture in 1990-2000-s). Stalin's asceticism and Trotsky’s “beautiful life” and similar enemies of the people are two sides of the same coin. The revolution actually showed the inner core of people. Some participated in the revolution in order to gain power over people and use it in their personal and narrow group interests, others fought for the happiness of the whole people, limiting themselves in everything.
Stalin and other national Bolsheviks, many of whom came from common people, dreamed of building a just society. They gave Russia a chance to survive in the terrible years of the Civil War and became the founders of the Soviet civilization. For several years there has been a stubborn struggle between these groups. As a result, Stalin, who personified the national project, won, and Russia began to recover quickly.
However, this was far away. There was a civil war, the former "allies" began the intervention, gangs of green and national separatists tore the state to pieces. Lenin tried to solve the problem of the Civil War with the help of a strategic alliance with Germany. In fact, he tried to realize the scenario that France and England were so afraid of during the reign of Nicholas II: the Russian Empire concludes a separate peace with Germany and leaves the war. Lenin tried to get the support of the Germans in the fight against the Entente interventionists and the White Guards, who were also supported by the West. On the part of Soviet Russia, the plenipotentiary in Germany was conducted by loffe, Krasin and Litvinov. Moscow offered to conduct joint military operations against the Entente - in the north against the British, in the south against the Volunteer Army of Denikin-Alekseeva, behind which stood England and France. The Germans resisted, did not want to get involved in the fighting in the North. But they promised to cover the flanks and help with the supply. In the south, they promised to help with military force. Ludendorff ordered the command of the Eastern Front to concentrate forces against Denikin.
On August 27, a treaty was signed between Soviet Russia and Germany, which essentially turned the two countries into allies (the so-called “Brest-2”). With the support of the Germans, the Soviet Republic was to fight against the Entente and its allies. Germany pledged to return Russia to Belarus and a number of other occupied territories. Russia became the food base of Germany, which allowed it to survive on the Western Front. Russia paid 6 billion rubles to Germany in gold, promised a third of the oil produced in the country.
Naturally, the negotiations between Moscow and Berlin, although they were held in a strictly secret atmosphere, alarmed the Entente. Western intelligence agencies had high-ranking informants, both in Germany and in Russia. The same Joffe was a man from Trotsky’s entourage. And during negotiations with the Germans, he coordinated his every step not only with the direct authorities, Lenin and Chicherin, but also with Lev Davidovich. Work has begun on disrupting the Russian-German negotiations. So, the assassination of Ambassador Mirbach was supposed to embroil the Germans with the Russians.
The Western powers had several extensive intelligence networks in Russia. However, Soviet Russia quickly rose to its feet and already had sufficiently qualified intelligence services. And comrade Dzerzhinsky did not like such an active work of foreign intelligence services. In June, the security officers went on the trail of a spy network in Petrograd. Dzerzhinsky was able to introduce his agents into her - the Latvians Jan Buikis and Jan Sprogis. They even got along with Sydney Reilly, who was one of the leaders of a foreign spy network in Russia. The dummy security officers, who seemed to him very promising - had numerous connections among Latvian riflemen, - Reilly pecked. He introduced them to the British naval attache Francis Cromie. The attache also did not notice anything and sent Chekists to Moscow, to the head of a special British mission, Robert Lockhart.
The Latvians were offered to recruit one of the commanders of the units who guarded the Kremlin. In Moscow, the leadership of the Cheka decided to “slip” the British Artillery Division commander of the Latvian division, Edward Berzin, who was given for the colonel. Berzin met with Lockhart and Reilly. The British handed him 1 million 200 thousand rubles as payment for the arrest of the Soviet elite in Moscow and the abolition of the Brest Treaty. Lockhart stressed that it is necessary to eliminate Lenin: "With Lenin alive, our business will fail."
The leadership of the Cheka believed that the conspiracy involved diplomatic representatives (often it was the cover of intelligence officials) of Great Britain, France and the United States. The head of the British mission, Robert Lockhart, with the participation of the ambassadors of France, J. Noulance and the USA, D. R. Francis, planned to repeat February 1917 in Russia. However, the Bolsheviks were more toothed prey than the royal regime, so the conspiracy failed.
At the same time as the KGB, counterintelligence of the Red fleet led by Lieutenant Abramovich. They were able to "sit on the tail" Cromi and Reilly, followed them for several months.
Who was supposed to lead Russia after the murder of Lenin? Obviously, Trotsky. He was most loyal to the Entente. At that time, he was at the top of his popularity and held the key position of the “war leader” - Commissar of Military and Maritime Affairs. Lev Davidovich at that time was near Kazan, under his command was a powerful army. Trotsky had to break with Germany, speeding up her death and distribute, sell off everything that remains of Russia. His appearance in the role of leader of Russia fully fit into the strategy of a phased demolition of Russia: first, the feudalist Masons crush the Russian empire, gradually the power passes from the liberal democrats to the moderate socialists, Kerensky brings the situation to a complete collapse; Lenin intercepts power, civil war begins, intervention; the death of Lenin - the power takes Trotsky, the curtain. Russia is dying.
30 August 1918 was attempted at Lenin’s Michelson factory. According to the official version, Fanny Kaplan, a member of the Social Revolutionary Party, tried to shoot him. Lenin was badly wounded. At the same time, the head of the Petrograd Cheka, Uritsky, was killed in Petrograd. The murder of Lenin was to lead to the rupture of Germany and Russia. Apparently, the direct leadership of the attempt was carried out by Sverdlov, the second most important figure in the internationalist party who worked for the "financial international". He immediately intercepted the leadership of the party and the Central Committee. Sverdlov removed from the investigation Dzerzhinsky. Kaplan is taken from the Lubyanka to the Kremlin, where she "confessed" to everything, she was immediately eliminated and even her body was burned (so that identification could not be carried out).
Understanding that it is necessary to strike back, Dzerzhinsky gives the order to open a spy network. The Cheka and naval counterintelligence revealed a significant part of the enemy network, but Dzerzhinsky initially wanted to wait. An attempt on Lenin forced him to act. On the night of August 31, on September 1, the KGB conducted mass arrests at identified addresses. The Chekists broke into the building of the British Embassy in Petrograd, when the British burned their compromising documents. Kromi in the shootout was killed. True, the main conspirators had to be released. So, Sverdlov ordered the release of Lockhart. Soon foreign diplomats left the borders of Soviet Russia. However, Dzerzhinsky smog was the main thing - he disorganized and paralyzed the conspirators. Apical coup failed.
It should be noted that the attempt on Lenin was also used to start mass red terror. Sverdlov and Trotsky deliberately destroyed the foundations of the Russian civilization (in particular, the process of unraveling began), incited the Civil War in Russia, pushing thousands of people away from Soviet power. The attempt on Lenin was for Sverdlov an excellent reason to remove all restrictions from terror. Terror has become almost the main goal of state policy. September 2 issued a decree of the Central Executive Committee of the Red Terror. And Sverdlov came up with an excellent formula: "The Central Executive Committee in the person of the presidium decides." That is, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee did not intend to, Yankel Sverdlov himself invented a resolution and ordered Avanesov to draw up a protocol. Sverdlov at that time became a kind of “regent”. Even when Lenin began to recover, he isolated him in Gorki under the pretext of treatment. Dzerzhinsky and other leaders of “not his own” circle were sent to “leave”. So Sverdlov for some time concentrated in his hands a huge power.
Results
Obviously, Lenin was not a "traitor" and a "German agent," as some liberals and champions of "historical Russia" are trying to show him. He collaborated with the Germans for tactical reasons, and not as an “agent”. By the will of fate he got the heaviest burden. Lenin had to act in conditions of a terrible geopolitical catastrophe, complete collapse of the old Russian statehood, the collapse of the state into parts, civil war and external invasion.
Lenin took responsibility for the establishment of a new project, Soviet statehood. Lenin’s policy is twofold. It is inherent in confusion, cruelty. Affected by a lack of experience. But in general, we can call the role of Lenin in the history of Russia positive. He was not a patriot of tsarist Russia, but he is not responsible for its death. The Russian empire was killed by those who were supposed to defend and develop it - aristocrats, generals, Duma politicians and capitalists. Lenin took power and began, as he could, to build a new Russia - Soviet. It cannot be denied that it was he who laid the foundation for the integrity of Russia, recreated statehood, and began to fight foreign invaders, White Guards who fought in the name of Western interests, national separatists, and bandits of all stripes. Therefore, they tried to kill Lenin in order to put in his place the protege of the "financial international" - Trotsky.
The main advantage of Lenin’s short rule: he and his associates — Dzerzhinsky, Frunze, Stalin, and other honest Bolsheviks — managed to preserve the integrity of Russia, recreate statehood, and fill the foundation for building Great Russia - the USSR.
