put on trial. Lenin never forgot this and Volodarsky was assassinated on<br />

June 20th, 1918, less than a year later. Lenin decided to revenge himself<br />

upon Volodarsky immediately upon hearing that he had raked toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

much too big a fortune, which should have been <strong>the</strong> property <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Party<br />

leadership. Lenin had himself emphasised that <strong>the</strong> Bolsheviks must never<br />

forget anything.<br />

Kerensky began releasing arrested Bolsheviks as early as <strong>the</strong> 17th <strong>of</strong><br />

August. Kamenev was <strong>the</strong> first to be set free.<br />

Kornilov's Revolt<br />

The Supreme Commander <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Russian army, General Lavr Kornilov<br />

(1870-1918), no longer wanted to take part in <strong>the</strong> shady game <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

revolutionary freemasons. He broke away from <strong>the</strong>m and began<br />

preparations in Mogilev to overthrow Kerensky's government. Kornilov<br />

understood that those left-wing ministers, who for many years had been<br />

shouting that <strong>the</strong>y could do better than <strong>the</strong> Tsar's ministers were actually<br />

perfectly ignorant people.<br />

According to <strong>the</strong> prevailing myth, <strong>the</strong> February revolution was a very<br />

positive event. In reality, this coup d'etat led only to anarchy, as <strong>the</strong> writer<br />

Alexander Solzhenitsyn emphasised in a BBC interview.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> 19th <strong>of</strong> August (1st September), Kornilov ordered his Cossacks<br />

to attack Petrograd. On <strong>the</strong> 25th <strong>of</strong> August (7th September) Kornilov said<br />

to his chief <strong>of</strong> staff: "It is time to hang <strong>the</strong> Germans' supporters and spies<br />

led <strong>by</strong> Lenin. And we must destroy <strong>the</strong> Soviets so that <strong>the</strong>y can never<br />

assemble again!"<br />

On <strong>the</strong> same day he sent General Alexander Krymov's troops towards<br />

Petrograd with orders to hang all soviet members. (John Shelton Curtiss,<br />

"The Russian Revolution <strong>of</strong> 1917", New York, 1957, p. 50.)<br />

In his proclamation on August 26th (September 8th), (Novoye Vremya,<br />

11th <strong>of</strong> September 1917), Kornilov accused <strong>the</strong> Provisional Government<br />

<strong>of</strong> co-operating with <strong>the</strong> Germans to undermine <strong>the</strong> state and army. He<br />

wanted to dissolve <strong>the</strong> Soviets and demanded that Kerensky should step<br />

down and give <strong>the</strong> power up to him. Kornilov understood that <strong>the</strong><br />

Bolsheviks were <strong>the</strong> greatest danger to Russia. That was why he wanted<br />

<strong>the</strong>m all imprisoned.<br />
