This Yermolenko charged that Lenine had been instructed by the authorities
in Berlin, just as he himself had been, and that Lenine had been furnished
with almost unlimited funds by the German Government, the arrangement being
that it was to be forwarded through one Svendson, at Stockholm.[22] By a
vote of 300 to 11 the United Executive Committee of the All-Russian
Councils of Workmen's, Soldiers' and Peasants' Delegates adopted the
following resolution:
The whole Revolutionary Democracy desires that the Bolsheviki
group accused of having organized disorders, or inciting revolt,
or of having received money from German sources be tried publicly.
In consequence, the Executive Committee considers it absolutely
inadmissible that Lenine and Zinoviev should escape justice, and
demands that the Bolsheviki faction immediately and categorically
express its censure of the conduct of its leaders.
Later on, under the "terror," there was some pretense of an "investigation"
of the charge that Lenine and others had received German money, but there
has never been a genuine investigation so far as is known. Groups of
Russian Socialists belonging to various parties and groups have asked that
a commission of well-known Socialists from the leading countries of Europe
and from the United States, furnished with reliable interpreters, be sent
to Russia to make a thorough investigation of the charge.
