under mysterious circumstances on <strong>the</strong> 20th <strong>of</strong> July 1926 when he began<br />

to express his desire to have as much power as Stalin. Stalin was also<br />

interested in "inheriting" <strong>the</strong> money Dzerzhinsky had put into foreign<br />

bank accounts.<br />

That was typical <strong>of</strong> Stalin who, for example, gave orders on <strong>the</strong> 31st <strong>of</strong><br />

October 1925 to murder <strong>the</strong> military commander Mikhail Frunze on <strong>the</strong><br />

operation table. A myth was later created which turned Frunze into a<br />

national hero.<br />

The "attempt" on Lenin was immediately exploited <strong>by</strong> <strong>the</strong> party leader-<br />

ship, who stated that it was <strong>the</strong> right-wing Social Revolutionaries who had<br />

committed <strong>the</strong> terror action and that <strong>the</strong> deed had been directed at <strong>the</strong><br />

whole working class. On <strong>the</strong> 2nd <strong>of</strong> September, Yakov Sverdlov <strong>of</strong>ficially<br />

demanded <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> a red terror campaign. He was <strong>the</strong> chairman <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Central Executive Committee (head <strong>of</strong> state) and <strong>the</strong> secretary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Central Committee.<br />

According to <strong>of</strong>ficial reports, <strong>the</strong> commandant <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kremlin, Pavel<br />

Malkov, killed Fanny Kaplan illegally (without trial) on September 4,<br />

1918. She stuck to her version that she had acted <strong>of</strong> her own accord. A<br />

political prisoner, Vasili Novikov, claimed that he had met Fanny Kaplan<br />

in <strong>the</strong> prison <strong>of</strong> Sverdlovsk in July 1932. This was <strong>of</strong>ficially denied just a<br />

few years ago. The prosecutor's group in Moscow did not wish to ignore<br />

this version, according to which Fanny Kaplan was pardoned at <strong>the</strong> last<br />

moment and sent to prison in Sverdlovsk in <strong>the</strong> Ural (Dagens Nyheter,<br />

17th <strong>of</strong> March 1994). She came out in May in 1945 and died in 1947.<br />

Lenin knew that <strong>the</strong> Chekists had sabotaged <strong>the</strong> investigation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

"attempt" <strong>by</strong> distorting <strong>the</strong> real circumstances <strong>of</strong> such an important<br />

"crime" against <strong>the</strong> Bolshevik regime. He would never have accepted such<br />

a procedure unless he himself was behind <strong>the</strong> attempt.<br />

The first thing to be done after <strong>the</strong> attempt was <strong>the</strong> execution <strong>of</strong> 900<br />

undesirable persons in Moscow. Tens <strong>of</strong> thousands were killed afterwards.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> 21st <strong>of</strong> November 1917, Lenin had said: "We organise <strong>the</strong> violence<br />

in <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> workers!"<br />

The Council <strong>of</strong> People's Commissaries proclaimed <strong>the</strong> red terror as an<br />

<strong>of</strong>ficial policy on <strong>the</strong> 5th <strong>of</strong> September 1918. This policy was never called<br />

<strong>of</strong>f. A similar campaign <strong>of</strong> terror was begun after <strong>the</strong> murder <strong>of</strong> Kirov. It<br />

became one huge grisly celebration for those Jewish criminal gangs who<br />

had come into power with German and American aid and ruled <strong>the</strong> people<br />
