Since the German government did not support the Bolsheviks economically, at least the rumor that the sponsorship of the 50 million Jinmaks was unfounded. Then there is an obvious question: Where did the Bolsheviks need to engage in revolutionary activities come from?

After all, the vast majority of Bolsheviks, whether old or small, are cleaner than their faces. It is almost a dream to rely on collecting party fees to maintain normal activities. At least Li Xiaofeng knew very well that the party's ability to fight Qiufeng was very good, and he snatched 200,000 rubles from him. So when he heard that Derrensky and Ganetsky went out to make money again, he couldn't help but wonder who the guy who was as unlucky as himself was.

"Comrade Felix Edmundovitch, where are you going to beg for alms?" Li Xiaofeng asked half-jokingly.

Derrensky smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "We are not begging for alms. Comrade Karl Moore is more enlightened than you. He has supported hundreds of thousands of Swiss francs in the party one after another!"

Ha! Li Xiaofeng was also surprised. There were also Bolsheviks who were as rich as brother in the past (You kid are not Bolsheviks yet, okay?). But then he remembered this Karl Moore. This person was not very famous in history, or even unfamous, but it had something to do with the rumor of the 50 million German Jinmak.

Karl Moore was a German born in Switzerland. He was born in Switzerland in 1852. In the late 1870s (at that time, Lenin was still a teenager under the age of 10, and Stalin might not have been born yet) joined the party. He lived in Bern since 1889, where he began to pay attention to the Russian Revolution and had long been engaged in the research and support of the Russian Revolutionary Movement.

Karl Moore has organized rallies and demonstrations many times, exposing various shameful crimes of the Tsarist government, supporting the Russian revolutionary movement, and providing valuable advice to the Russian revolutionaries in a timely manner. He once provided a lot of help to Russian political exiles, including the Popularists and the Bolsheviks. In 1908 alone, he provided a grant of 150,000 Swiss francs.

At the same time, Moore also aided hundreds of thousands of Swiss francs to revolutionaries in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Scandinavia. It was under his influence that Europe established the International Association for Support Revolutionary Warriors, providing important assistance to revolutionaries in various countries in distress.

In 1904, Moore met Lenin in exile. During his tenure as a member of the Executive Board of the International Socialist Party from 1913 to 1914, he supported the Bolsheviks when he accepted the dispute between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks over the ownership of Schmitt (the owner of the Moscow factory, who provided economic sponsorship to the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party during his lifetime). In the early days of World War I, Lenin

Ning and Zinoviev were expelled by Austrian authorities, and fortunately Moore guaranteed that they could stay in Switzerland and avoid exile.

The following year, Moore also paid a 100 Swiss franc deposit for Lenin and others to extend their residence. In April 1917, he also sponsored Lenin, Zinoviev and others to return to Russia from Switzerland through Germany to lead a new revolutionary climax. Before the October Revolution, he provided 113,926 Swiss francs (equivalent to US$33,214 at the time) at the request of the Bolshevik Foreign Affairs Bureau. As a private friend, Len

Ning always maintained a high level of trust in Moore, and the relationship between the two was never interrupted directly or indirectly when they were separated.

It can be said that in addition to knowing medical skills, Moore was simply the contemporary Bethune. How could such an internationalist warrior be related to the 50 million Jin Mark? The bad thing is that he is a German identity. Regardless of whether he has a dime relationship with the Second German Empire or not, malicious slander is not simple. Who made Germany and Russia in a state of war at that time? It was natural to hate each other. No matter whether Moore was wearing a pair of pants with William II, as long as the Bolsheviks received funding from German friends, it would be a great crime. What's more, Milukov and Kerensky and his group were worried about not knowing how to deal with each other.

Ning, this is not a target to come to your door.

For a time, Lenin and the German government secretly colluded, Lenin accepted large funding from the German government, and other rumors were rumored. In order to draw a realistic conclusion, clarify right and wrong, eliminate all kinds of doubts and blames, and crush all kinds of rumors and slander, although Lenin and Moor were friends who had been with each other for many years, Lenin still wrote a letter to the Bolshevik Foreign Bureau, asking them to find out Moor's true identity.

In the letter, Lenin wrote seriously and earnestly: "Who is Moor? Has he been completely and absolutely proved that he is an upright person? Did he have directly and indirectly colluded with German social imperialists in the past and present? If Moor is really in Stockholm, if you know him, then I sincerely and earnestly, repeatedly demand that all measures be taken to the strictest and most evidenced review of this. Here, there should be no room for people to raise any doubts, blame, spread rumors, etc...."

The situation at that time was that Lenin's comrades around him and senior leaders of the Party Central Committee had a sharp contrast in their understanding, evaluation and attitudes of Moore for various reasons. Someone clearly told Lenin that Moore was the "agent of the German government with money", and the source and real purpose of his funds were suspicious.

In addition, some people, such as Radek, who is familiar with the situation in Germany, firmly told Lenin that they must not believe it and that they must condemn the false accusation and slander of Moore. Lenin himself insisted that all kinds of criticism should not be trusted without a solid basis, and that this international friend who had funded the revolution in hard years should be treated with honesty and trustworthy attitude. Therefore, after the October Revolution, at the critical moment of peace talks with de Brest,

Ning still hired Moore, who was familiar with the situation in Germany, as his special adviser to negotiate with the German side.

In March 1919, Moore was invited to attend the First Congress of the Communist International, chaired by Lenin. During the complex and changing international situation, Moore still ran between Soviet Russia and Western Europe with his special and favorable identity. The famous Bolshevik, who was carrying a special mission, also received Muer's warm care and help from him and survived (Moore spent money to open up official channels and turned Radek's cell into a special salon.)

In the fourth year after Lenin's death, Moore finally left the Soviet Union and died in Berlin in 1932. Until his death, he engaged in political activities as a party left in the international community. In the end, no one could prove that he was "the agent of Germany" with definite information, just as it was impossible to prove that the Bolsheviks had received subsidies from the reactionary German government.

However, what is most disheartening is that when Lenin was assassinated and seriously injured and unable to be in charge of the director, the Bolsheviks were not friendly to this old friend at all. The particularity and complexity of the relationship between the Bolsheviks and Moor is not only reflected in the fact that the revolutionary party, which was in an underground state and in dilemma, had received huge funding from this foreign friend, but also that after the Bolsheviks transformed from a revolutionary party to a ruling party, the two sides experienced six or seven years of entanglement and unhappiness to settle the debt. Moor himself almost lost his life.

If the former is a gratifying comedy and drama, then the latter is a puzzling and even saddening tragedy and farce. The debt-taking behavior of this mysterious German figure is not due to his normal economic concept (the loan has to be paid), or the suspicion, indifference and harm of the Bolsheviks after taking power.

As early as the beginning of the victory of the October Revolution, as a friend of Lenin, Moor did not go well to apply for a passport to the Soviet Union, and he had to seek help from Lenin. During his participation in the Communist International Congress in 1919, Moor made the first request to Lenin to return his loan, and Lenin immediately expressed his full understanding and recognition.

Two years later, with the help of Lenin, Mur came to Moscow and formally made a request to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia (Bolsheviks) and the Soviet government to return all the funds lent to the Bolshevik Foreign Affairs Bureau before the October Revolution. Since he did not get a reply, he gave Len one after another.

Ning and Molotov (the then Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia) wrote a letter to reiterate his request.

Lenin not only replied to Mur, expressing his kind care, and promised that "you can come to me for any matters" and clearly instructed to "clear accounts with Mur immediately." Because the specific executors shirked responsibility and procrastinated, Mur had to "send countless letters and telegrams" to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia and the relevant departments of the Soviet government, "do everything he could."

After Lenin was seriously ill in 1922, it was further difficult for Moore to request repayment. Especially after Lenin's death, he was almost in a dilemma of no one to pay attention. For more than six years, the poor German paid a huge and multi-faceted sacrifice and price to claim the money that should belong to him:

Financially, part of the money he lent belongs to his private deposits obtained from his inheritance, and most of them are interest-bearing loans. Because he could not repay the loan as scheduled, he had to mortgage securities to the bank and pay huge interest and margin. For this reason, he suffered nearly 10,000 US dollars in economic losses. At the same time, he also lived a difficult and difficult life.

In terms of health, due to the increasingly low material living conditions and the harsh climate in Russia (the severe cold and dampness of the long winter), the elderly over the age of 70 suffered from heart disease, lung disease, rheumatism, asthma and nervous system diseases.

Russia has poor medical conditions and cannot receive the care of the Russian government. His various diseases are not treated promptly and effectively, which has caused extremely serious damage to his health.

The more serious harm is mentally and psychologically. As a foreign friend who "great selfless and huge help in the most difficult times of the Party (Bolsheviks), he deserves respect from the Russian Party and government that have been in a ruling position after his victory, and at least he should be treated fairly on the issue of clearing debts.

However, the outcome was exactly the opposite. Especially after Lenin's death, the Russian Party and government neither followed Lenin's instructions to seize the time to solve the problem, but were extremely arrogant and unreasonable, openly indifferent and disgusted with the past funders, and simply used it as a burden of disgust, as if the debt was not the Russians but Moore. All this made his mental pain almost collapse. He pleaded to the Russian Party and government in the cold basement: "Don't let me die in Russia!"

Politically, long-term stranded Russia lost the opportunity to return to China to participate in the general election and work in parliament. In almost despair, Moore had to turn around and ask for help from his comrades in his national party, Ms. Clara Zeitkin, who was widely respected in the international community at that time.

It was precisely because of Zetkin's direct intervention that the seven-year debt dispute was resolved. The "lovely old comrade Moor" (Zetkin's words) who has cared about and supported the Russian Revolution for more than 50 years and enthusiastically protected and funded the Russian revolutionary in troubled times. Finally, he left the Soviet Union, which broke his heart. Five years later, he died of illness in Berlin. During this period, the anti-Soviet voices were rampant, but people did not see the sad Moor making any anti-Soviet remarks.
