advance. Both murderers could freely gain entrance to the respective
buildings.
It is clear today that Stalin was behind the murder of Kirov, despite the
fact that there are no documents about this. There is no lack of evidence
and logical arguments. Kirov's bodyguard was prevented from accom-
panying him, so that the real murderer could shoot the Leningrad Party
Secretary at exactly 4:30 in the afternoon. That event provided a good
reason for Stalin to begin his campaign of mass terror. At least 7 million
people were killed during that campaign and 18 million were imprisoned.
97 per cent of the participants at the 1934 Party Congress were liquidated.
Kravtsov presented some suspect circumstances in connection with the
murder of Uritsky, who was also a member of the Central Committee. No
analysis was made of Kannegisser's revolver and ammunition. The Cheka
did not seem to want the truth to come out. Kannegisser was never taken
to trial, but was illegally killed. If Kannegisser had really been a Social
Revolutionary, then a trial would have been a propaganda triumph for the
regime. It would have been publicly announced who planned the murder.
But not even the motive for Uritsky's murder was ever revealed.
In contrast, it is known now that Lenin became furious when he
received reports from Alexander Parvus in Berlin in which it was revealed
that someone in Petrograd had stolen from Lenin. Just before Dzerzhinsky
had travelled to Switzerland to investigate the situation. It turned out that
not all the cargoes had reached Berlin; not all the money had ended up in
the Swiss bank accounts of Lenin and his approved comrades. Some
cargoes of "nationalised" goods had been sent to Sweden, including many
valuable icons (some of these are still on display in the National Museum
in Stockholm), the money had gone into the hands of other people than
Trotsky and Lenin.
Stalin transferred Lenin's foreign money deposits to Moscow in the
1930s. In 1998, an account was found in Switzerland, which belonged to
Vladimir Ulyanov. No one had touched it since 1945. There was slightly
less than one hundred Swiss francs left (50 USD).
The guilty parties were soon found, in June 1918. The main suspects
were Uritsky, Volodarsky and Andronnikov (the chief of the Cheka in
Kronstadt). They had stolen whole cargoes and sold everything through
different Scandinavian banks. 78 million roubles in gold had vanished in
this way. (Igor Bunich, "The Party's Gold", St. Petersburg, 1992, p. 41.)
