The Trust: The Classic Example of Soviet Manipulation.

Abstract : Russian groups who were committed anti-Bolsheviks; the two most important victims were Sydney Reilly (Britain's Master spy) and Boris Savinkov (Kerensky's War Minister and a former terrorist under the Czars). The perceived threat of external hostility from the emigre's and the Capitalist states was not another example of the legendary Russian paranoia. It was real and was seen as a life and death struggle by some of the leading personalities on both sides. The Trust thus came into being from various ideas and plans presented to Lenin. Lenin always worried about the threat of counter-revolution, especially from the emigre groups.
