Alexander Manuilov was the principal <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong> Moscow. /<br />

He became one <strong>of</strong> the managers <strong>of</strong> the bolshevik National Bank. <strong>The</strong><br />

well-known economist Vladimir Groman was a menshevik, who be-<br />

came a freemason, preferring to work for the bolsheviks. Maximilian<br />

von Mekk rose to be an important <strong>of</strong>ficial with the Peoples' Com-<br />

missariat for Transport. <strong>The</strong> historian Mikhail Lemke turned into a<br />

dedicated bolshevik and began to fake history.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tsarist deputy Minister <strong>of</strong> Finance Nikolai Kutler and the<br />

deputy Minister <strong>of</strong> the Interior, General Vladimir Dzhunkovsky were<br />

two more high-ranking freemasons that served communism by<br />

working for the Cheka. Even the speaker <strong>of</strong> the Duma, the freemason<br />

Fiodor Golovin, managed to reach a high position in Soviet Russia.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tsarist Minister <strong>of</strong> War, the freemason Alexei Polivanov, joined<br />

the bolsheviks and served in the Red Army. Grigori Petrovsky,<br />

another freemason, was made the people's commissar for interior<br />

affairs. He was still working for the government in the 1950s.<br />

Gleb Boky, the supreme chekist in Petrograd, kept his masonic<br />

brothers protected. In 1919, Boky was a member <strong>of</strong> the Common<br />

Brotherhood. By the mid-1920s freemasons were found everywhere in<br />

the Soviet administration (Platonov, "Russia's Crown <strong>of</strong> Thorns: <strong>The</strong><br />

Secret History <strong>of</strong> Freemasonry 1731-1996", Moscow, 1996, p. 292).<br />

<strong>The</strong> high-ranking freemason Dmitri Navashin was the adviser on<br />

planned economy to the Soviet government. <strong>The</strong> bolsheviks were<br />

very kindly disposed to these masonic brothers. Before 1925, no<br />

harm seems to have come to them.<br />

In 1925, General Boris Astromov, secretary general to the Auto-<br />

nomous Russian Freemasonry, contacted the political police, the GPU.<br />

In a letter, he stressed the common goals <strong>of</strong> the freemasons and the<br />

bolsheviks. He wanted to assist in establishing communism (ibid, p.<br />

293). Astromov pointed out that the communist symbol, the red five-<br />

pointed star, was a masonic token, as were the hammer and the<br />

sickle.<br />

<strong>The</strong> communists also advocated brotherhood, as do the free-<br />

masons. Freemasons are world citizens without loyalty to any parti-<br />
