In the army the former
agents and detectives of the political police carry on ardent
campaign for defeat, and in the rear the former
agents-provocateurs prepare and direct endless troubles.
The motives of this policy on the part of the reactionaries are
clear. It is the direct road to a counter-revolution. The
troubles, the insurrections, and shocking disorders which follow
provoke disgust at the Revolution, while the military defeats
prepare the ground for an intervention of the old friend of the
Russian Black Hundreds, William II, the counter-revolutionaries
work systematically for the defeat of the Russian armies,
sometimes openly, cynically.
Thus in their press and proclamations they go so far as to throw
the whole responsibility for the war and for the obstacles placed
in the way of a peace with Germany on the Jews. It is these
"diabolical Jews," they say, who prevent the conclusion of peace
and insist on the continuation of the war, because they desire to
ruin Russia. Proclamations in this sense have been found, together
with a voluminous anti-Semitic literature, in the offices of the
party of Lenine Bolsheviki (Maximalists), and particularly at the
headquarters of the extreme revolutionaries, Chateau
Knheshinskaja.
