15.       General    A.    I.    Spiridovich   has   sharply   criticized

Dzhunkovsky for this action claiming that the governÂ

ment lost what could have been very valuable intelliÂ

gence about Bolshevik dealings with the Germans durÂ

political balance sheet can be found in R. C. Elwood,

Study of the RSDRP in the Ukraine, 1907-1914 (Assen,

1974), pp. 229-43.

17.       There is no firm evidence to support this hypothesis,

in part because it was clearly in Dzhunkovsky's interests

in 1917 to maintain that his motives in firing Malinovsky

were solely idealistic. It might be noted, however, that

a   year   later   the   Soviet   government   charged   that

Malinovsky,  by his sudden departure from the Duma,

"delivered an extremely serious blow to the workers

movement,  introduced disorganization into the ranks

of revolutionary and party organizations, made possible

the slandering of the entire workers movement by the

enemies of the revolution, undermined  the prestige,

revolutionary authority and significance of the entire

fraction . . . and committed his greatest crime against

the revolution." Vechernie Izvestiia Moskovskogo Soveta, No. 91 (5 November 1918). See also Krylenko, Zapiat'let, p. 345.

18.       Interview   with   Rodzianko   entitled   "Malinovskii   i

Rodzianko," published on  18 June 1917 probably in

Utro  Rossii  (newspaper clipping in the Nicolaevsky

Collection, file  132, box 4, no. 27). Rodzianko gave

several rather contradictory accounts about this sequence

of events. Cf., Rodzianko, Byloe, No. 21 (1923), pp.

248-49;   B.   I.   Nikolaevskii,  "K delu Malinovskago,"

Markov, one of the leaders of the reactionary Union

Social Democratic fraction,  is always referred  to in

contemporary accounts as "Markov II" to differentiate

him from the Octobrist deputy, N. L. Markov ("I").

funds,  Pravda   noted  that Malinovsky had given his

wife    power    of   attorney    over   all    funds   in   his

possession or which she might receive in his absence

(Put' pravdy,  No. 87,  15 May 1914, p. 2). She then

signed these over to Muranov (Sotsial-demokrat, No. 58,

18/31   January   1917,   p.   2).   The  Mensheviks quite

rightly noted that the premeditation of this act called

to question the various Bolshevik explanations for his

departure  {Nasha rabochaia gazeta,  No.  12,  17 May

1914,p. 1).

Malinovsky's disappearance and told them specifically

not to expel the ex-deputy. Lenin, PSS, XLVIII, 294.

42.       Somewhat later it was announced that Malinovsky had

contacted two lawyers in St. Petersburg, N. D. Sokolnikov and N. N. Krestinsky, about instituting libel proceedings against these papers (Rabochii, No. 5, 28 May 1914, p. 2). This threat did not deter them in the least.

52.       A footnote  in  an early edition of Lenin's collected

works indicates that the questioning of Rozmirovich,

Saveliev, Bukharin and the latter's wife continued on

into June and early July (Soch., 2nd ed., XVII, 738).

Rozmirovich, however, admitted that she did not even

arrive in Poronin until "August 1914" (N.S.?) at which

.time she gave her testimony (Deiateli SSSR i Oktiabr'-

skoi   revoliutsii:   Avtobiografii   i   biografii,      3   vols;

Moscow,   1926,   II,   210).   One   wonders  how   much

evidence the tribunal in fact received before rendering

its quick verdict.

56.       See, for example, Bobrovskaya, Provocateurs, p. 27.

59.       Sumsky ms., pp. 3-4, in the Nicolaevsky Collection,

file  132, box 4, no. 27. Sumsky's account, which is

inaccurate in many other details, is suspect. The letter

which Troyanovsky supposedly sent does not appear

among the vast collection of intercepted correspondence

in the Okhrana Archives. E. E. Smith speculates (pp.

282-83)   that   Troyanovsky,   if  he   wrote   the   letter,

was  really  threatening  to  expose  Stalin  rather  than

Malinovsky   and   that   he   planted   the   story   with

Sumsky on  the eve of the purges as a reminder to

Stalin and as an insurance policy for himself. Beletsky's

conversation with Malinovsky was allegedly related by

the ex-Director of Police to the Investigatory Commission

in 1917. It does not appear in his extensive published

testimony   but   according   to   Sumsky   was   seen   in

stenographic   form   by   an   unnamed  individual   who

repeated it to him verbatim many years later. These

stories are found in many Western studies but do not

find confirmation in Soviet accounts of the Malinovsky

affair.

(Berlin, 1924), p. 292. It might be noted that TroyÂ

anovsky had increasingly moved toward the Mensheviks

as the war approached perhaps because of the Malinovsky

affair,  perhaps  because   of growing differences with

Lenin    over    nationalities    policy,   perhaps   because

Rozmirovich was now  living with another Bolshevik

agent      and  Malinovsky's subsequent prosecutor —

N. V. Krylenko.

point. Dzhunkovsky told the Investigatory Commission

in 1917 that he felt Malinovsky had volunteered for the

Russian army in France (PTsR. V, 85; VII, 374). This is

a good example of the imprecision of both the Okhrana

and the Commission's findings since the Deputy Director

had obviously  confused his prime agent provocateur

with the  future Soviet marshal, Rodion Malinovsky,

who had indeed fought on the western front. Other sources suggest that Roman Malinovsky was caught in Germany by the outbreak of the war and was interned (P. Osipov, "DeloMalinovskogo: Istoricheskaia spravka," newspaper clipping from Riga's Trudovaia my si, 20 April 1930, in the Nicolaevsky Collection, file 132, box 4, no. 27; Possony, Der Monat, Heft 71, August 1954, p. 493).

Russian  military intelligence in western Europe took

an interest in Malinovsky's activity and duly filed a

report on  16 October 1916 (PTsR, II, 317). Lenin's

correspondence    with   him    was   submitted   to   the

Investigatory Commission in  1917 (Pis'ma Aksel'roda

i Martova, p. 292) but it too was not published either

by the Provisional Government or by the Soviet editors

of the Polnoe sobranie sochinenii. And finally, according

to the index prepared by the Hoover Institution, some

material on Malinovsky's wartime  conduct has been

preserved in the Okhrana Archives but unfortunately

when the relevant file (XIc (3), folder 1) was delivered

to me, it was mysteriously empty.

8.         On   17  March Lenin wrote  an article defending the

Bolsheviks' handling of the Chernomazov affair in 1914.

Malinovsky is mentioned as being a sometime member

of the Duma fraction but not as Chernomazov's co-

worker in the service of the Okhrana. Pravda, which

had   itself   noted   Malinovsky   among   the   exposed

provocateurs    on    29    March,1   saved   Lenin    further

embarrassment   by   declining   to  publish   the   article.

of it has been published (save Krylenko's speech and the

accusations against Malinovsky) makes reconstruction

difficult.   Lenin's  attendance,   which one  would not

expect given his health and the embarrassing nature

of   the   trial,   is  verified   by   an   eye-witness     (Olga
