After several attempts at a revolution in 1905 and 1906, the Grand<br />

Orient opened new lodges in Russia: <strong>The</strong> Iron Ring in Nizhny Nov-<br />

gorod (Kilvein was grand master), Kiev (Steingel was grand master)<br />

and in other cities. Count Alexei Orlov-Davydov financed these new<br />

lodges (Oleg Platonov, "Russia's Crown <strong>of</strong> Thorns: <strong>The</strong> Secret History<br />

<strong>of</strong> Freemasonry 1731-1996", Moscow, 1996, p. 172).<br />

In 1906, the Grand Orient incited their members to serve the<br />

highest interests <strong>of</strong> international socialism. <strong>The</strong> Grand Orient pro-<br />

mised all the support imaginable for anti-government activities in<br />

Russia. <strong>The</strong> decision about this support was to be kept secret,<br />

however (ibid, p. 178).<br />

Laferre, one <strong>of</strong> the leaders <strong>of</strong> world <strong>freemasonry</strong>, said at an Inter-<br />

national Masonic Conference in 1908, that the freemasons were<br />

prepared to finance a conspiracy against Russia. He specified: "<strong>The</strong><br />

Council <strong>of</strong> the Order will make any necessary sacrifices in order to<br />

achieve true progress for this nation, which has not yet been delivered<br />

from darkness and where the triumph <strong>of</strong> <strong>freemasonry</strong> is about to unfold."<br />

When Nicholas II went on a state visit to Sweden in 1909, he was<br />

the victim <strong>of</strong> an assassination attempt. <strong>The</strong> anarchist who had been<br />

hired attacked the wrong person, however, and ended up killing a<br />

Swedish colonel in dress uniform.<br />

In the middle <strong>of</strong> 1911 deputy Minister <strong>of</strong> the Interior, Lieutenant<br />

General Pavel Kurlov, issued a special report to the Minister <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Interior Piotr Stolypin, the contents <strong>of</strong> which disturbed the Russian<br />

freemasons deeply. <strong>The</strong> report dealt with the freemasons' connection<br />

with terrorist activities against the Russian state and its repre-<br />

sentatives. It appears that Stolypin took this threat against the state<br />

from the freemasons most seriously and decided to impose measures<br />

against them. Stolypin was not just minister <strong>of</strong> the interior, but also<br />

chairman <strong>of</strong> the Council <strong>of</strong> Ministers, that is prime minister.<br />

Earlier, in 1910, a police agent named Boris Alexeyev had been<br />

sent to Paris to gather information about the Grand Orient <strong>of</strong> France,<br />

where the actions against Russia originated from. But Stolypin was<br />
