adviser to both the Turks and the Bulgarians during the Balkan wars,
1912-13. At the same time he became immensely rich through his own
arms deals. Parvus had worked from Salonica in Greece, where he got into
contact with the powerful local Masonic organisation.
The most important force behind him was Prince Volpi di Misurata -
perhaps the most powerful man in Venice - who helped Parvus with
finance, deals and Masonic contacts. It was this Volpi who, in October
1922, brought the socialist-fascist Benito Mussolini into power, making
the King appoint him prime minister. He was also behind the founding of
Libya in 1934. Mussolini had been especially pleased with the murder of
the Russian Prime Minister Stolypin, whom he called "the tyrant by the
Neva" in an article. Volpi became minister of finance in Mussolini's
government. Volpi had been in the centre of the financial circles that
provoked the Balkan War in 1912-13. (The New Federalist, 11th of
September 1987.) In 1916, Alexander Parvus suggested that the German
government should finance Lenin and his Party still more intensively.
They would be able to make a separate peace with Germany if they
reached power in Petrograd. It was also clear to the Germans that the
Bolsheviks would be able to efficiently weaken Russia.
The Kaiser's Zionist adviser Walter Rathenau (1867-1922), who was a
rich industrialist, also recommended financing the Bolsheviks. Germany's
ambassador in Copenhagen, Count Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau, who
was a well-known 33rd degree freemason and Illuminatus, was of the
same opinion. (Nesta Webster and Kurt Kerlen, "Boche and Bolshevik",
New York, 1923, pp. 33-34.) Parvus was close to him and had great
influence over him. Parvus himself made 20 million marks from this
suggestion.
It was Ulrich Brockdorff-Rantzau's letter on the 14th of August 1915
which finally decided the question of financial support to the Bolsheviks.
This letter, addressed to the German vice-state secretary, summarised a
discussion between Brockdorff-Rantzau and Helphand-Parvus. The am-
bassador strongly recommended employing Helphand to undermine Russia
since "he is an exceedingly important man, whose unusual power we
should be able to utilise during the war". But the ambassador added a
warning: "It is probably dangerous to use the forces which are behind
Helphand, but if we should refuse to use their services, since we fear that
we may not be able to control them, it will surely only demonstrate our
