<strong>The</strong> otherwise ungrateful Lenin showed his gratitude exclusively<br />

towards his masonic masters <strong>of</strong> Paris, who helped him to <strong>power</strong>. In<br />

1919 he sent enormous amounts <strong>of</strong> money to the Grand Orient for<br />

the renovation <strong>of</strong> their Paris building, for its propaganda and other<br />

activities, while millions <strong>of</strong> Russians were starving and people were<br />

dying in the streets <strong>of</strong> Petrograd and Moscow (Oleg Platonov,<br />

"Russia's Crown <strong>of</strong> Thorns: <strong>The</strong> History <strong>of</strong> the Russian People in the<br />

20 th Century", Volume 1, Moscow, 1997, p. 577).<br />

In October 1920, Libre Parole published information about the<br />

Grand Orient council meeting <strong>of</strong> 20 December 1919, held at rue<br />

Cadet. Officially, the leadership <strong>of</strong> the lodge wished to keep a<br />

straight face and show an anti-bolshevist attitude. <strong>The</strong> magazine<br />

reported the lodge brother Millet admitting that the Grand Orient<br />

enthusiastically welcomed the bolshevik seizure <strong>of</strong> <strong>power</strong>, stating<br />

Brother Lankin <strong>of</strong> Paris admitted there were bolsheviks among the<br />

members <strong>of</strong> the Grand Orient <strong>of</strong> France, and that the lodge aided the<br />

bolsheviks in their worldwide activities.<br />

Representatives <strong>of</strong> international <strong>freemasonry</strong> <strong>of</strong>ten came to visit<br />

Soviet Russia to discuss current issues with Lenin, Trotsky, Bukharin,<br />

Petrovsky, Lunacharsky and other masonic brothers (Oleg Platonov,<br />

"Russia's Crown <strong>of</strong> Thorns: <strong>The</strong> Secret History <strong>of</strong> Freemasonry 1731-<br />

1996", Moscow, 1996 p. 283).<br />

<strong>The</strong> international <strong>freemasonry</strong> eagerly followed the bolshevik<br />

destruction <strong>of</strong> a flourishing country and its national culture. <strong>The</strong><br />

Grand Orient helped spread lies about the situation in Russia before<br />

the bolsheviks came to <strong>power</strong>, claiming that the country was in a<br />

miserable state and that things were now constantly getting better in<br />

all respects. <strong>The</strong>y did not mention that in tsarist Russia, every<br />
