Arkadsky-Dobrenovich, I.Z. Loris-Melikov, A. Trachevsky. After Kedrin’s interview in The New Time, the reactionary newspaper Rech wrote: "Kedrin admitted with his Jesuitical frankness that he’s a participant of one of the freemasonic lodges, but foreign ones." This "but foreign ones" changes much, because Kedrin was dismissed from top rank freemasons because of admittance of belonging to Russian masons.It’s clear that it was just a pretext to make him go. |

Lenin (Ulyanov) Vladimir Iyich (1970 - 1924) | |
Founder of the Communist Party, of the largest totalitarian state and of the extremist antinational form of the communist and socialist ideology. The first of the greatest dictators of the 20th century. Russian of German, Swedish, Jewish and Kalmyk roots. His grandgrandfather, who was burgemeister of one of the Hansa cities acquired a reputation of extremely cruel ruler. Lenin considered German language to be his second native one.
Considered Jews, Letts and Hungarians to be more clever and appropriate for making socialist revolution than "those lazy Russians". By this reason stimulated proliferation, including marriages, of Jews and Letts into the ruling elite of the new Soviet state, now known as "nomenclature". (In the 30s Letts and their families were repressed. In the 50s when there came the turn of Jews Stalin died and failed to resurrect pure Russian ruling class). Lenin co-operated secretly with many forces that enabled him to usurp State power in Russia, including German General Staff through, for example, Alexander Lazarevich Parvus (Gelfand), shadow tutor of Lenin and Trotsky, big businessman, etc., this "Louis Cypher" of the Russian revolution whose connections with Geman military circles were revealed and published by a free mason P.N. Pereverzev.

Having put under control pure Masonic bodies, secret political police didn’t take into account quasi-Masonic organizations as they had nothing in common with regular Masonry. These were political circles of liberals and democrats recruited from the upper classes. They hadn’t rituals and records. They eagerly accepted women who often provided members of such organizations with places where they could regularly meet and discuss pure political affairs. Usually it was private apartments. Panina" cadet circle was a typical case of the above said scenario. |
