mason) was sent from London to Murmansk. He gave instructions to take<br />

<strong>the</strong> British troops home again.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> beginning, <strong>the</strong> West claimed ra<strong>the</strong>r hypocritically that <strong>the</strong> Bolshe-<br />

viks were dangerous. In spite <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se warnings, <strong>the</strong> British sent only a few<br />

soldiers to ostensibly fight against <strong>the</strong> Reds. In actual fact, <strong>the</strong> Allies<br />

avoided disturbing <strong>the</strong> Bolsheviks. An example <strong>of</strong> this was when <strong>the</strong><br />

British promised Boris Savinkov, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Social Revolutionary leaders<br />

and a freemason, to send two divisions against <strong>the</strong> Bolsheviks in<br />

Arkhangelsk. Only 600 troops were actually sent, and <strong>the</strong>se were not<br />

involved in any fighting. Savinkov accused <strong>the</strong> British <strong>of</strong> secretly aiding<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bolsheviks.<br />

President Woodrow Wilson was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first heads <strong>of</strong> state to<br />

recognise Soviet Russia. On <strong>the</strong> 6th <strong>of</strong> July 1918, <strong>the</strong> Americans decided<br />

to send a fur<strong>the</strong>r 7 000 soldiers to Vladivostok. The purpose <strong>of</strong> this was to<br />

lessen <strong>the</strong> Japanese preparedness for action. The Americans soon became<br />

worried and were forced to take measures against <strong>the</strong> Japanese army.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> 26th <strong>of</strong> August 1918, <strong>the</strong> American consul in Vladivostok, John<br />

Caldwell, sent a telegram to Robert Lansing, <strong>the</strong> secretary <strong>of</strong> state in<br />

Washington: "Nearly 18 000 Japanese soldiers have landed in Vladivostok.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r 6000 are en route to <strong>the</strong> front in Manchuria. The Japanese are<br />

pushing forward everywhere <strong>the</strong>y can... <strong>the</strong> situation is critical." ("Papers<br />

Relating to <strong>the</strong> Foreign Relations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United States, 1918, Russian",<br />

Vol. II, pp. 328-29.)<br />

The Americans regarded <strong>the</strong> situation as dangerous primarily because<br />

<strong>the</strong> Japanese overthrew <strong>the</strong> Soviet regime everywhere <strong>the</strong>y came. There<br />

were already 70 000 Japanese soldiers in <strong>the</strong> Far East in <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong><br />

November 1918, according to <strong>of</strong>ficial sources. Robert Lansing, <strong>by</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

way, did not conceal his opinion that <strong>the</strong> Bolshevik Jews were spiritually<br />

underdeveloped, i.e.: primitive beings.<br />

Despite <strong>the</strong> strict Soviet censorship, one important and revealing phrase<br />

could still be read in certain collections: "The American government was<br />

obviously against <strong>the</strong> Japanese advance." ("Documents <strong>of</strong> Foreign Politics<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Soviet Union", Vol. I, Moscow, 1957, p. 225.) This sentence was<br />

later censored, since <strong>the</strong> falsifiers <strong>of</strong> history regarded it as much too<br />

dangerous and revealing.<br />

The civil war was too exhausting for Lenin. That was why <strong>the</strong> West<br />

increased its contributions to bring an end to it. The Allies began to<br />
