usiness manager of the Soviet paper Novy Mir during
the first months of revolution in Russia; when Raymond
Robins' Red Cross Mission arrived in Russia, Gumberg
served as interpreter and advisor to the Mission, working
closely with Thacher.
(The present senior partner of Simpson, Thacher and
Bartlett is Cyrus Vance, who served as Carter's
Secretary of State, and is now a director of the
Rockefeller Foundation.)
The international financiers, advised by Gumberg, now
launched a worldwide propaganda campaign to sell the
Bolsheviks as idealists, selfless humanitarians, and the
modern disciples of Christ, who wished only to spread
brotherhood and universal love throughout the world.
The tune rang strangely against the backdrop of the
machine guns steadily chattering in Russia as the
"disciples of love" massacred millions of women and
children, but none of their devout admirers in the United
States heard this as a sour note.
From the outset, the "humanitarians" showed an
excessive concern for the material wealth which they had
seized from its rightful owners. The New York Times
noted on Jan. 30, 1918, a despatch from Petrograd:
"The people's commissaries have decreed a State Monopoly of gold.
Churches, museums and other public institutions are required to place their
gold articles at the disposal of the State. Gold articles belonging to private
persons must be handed over to the State. Informants will receive one-third
of the value of the articles."
