YEREVAN (YERKIR) – The Russian Cultural Fund and Rossia State TV Channel in
association with the Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s (ARF) Moscow office,
have produced a documentary called “Who Had Paid Lenin?”

The documentary tells the truth about the 1917 October coup. Based on rich
documentary material, the film shows for the first time that the Bolsheviks
seized the power using Kaiser Germany’s funding under the plan offered by
Parvus.
The fact is that the October coup was the result of the cooperation between
Parvus and Lenin.

As a reward for the assistance to seize the power, the Bolsheviks signed the
Brest-Litovsk Treaty with Germany, getting out of the war and making vast
concessions to Germany and its allies.

In the film, ARF Bureau member and Armenian National Assembly vice speaker
Vahan Hovhannisian speaks of the October coup impact on the fate of the Armenian
people. He speaks of the devastating consequences the Bolshevik coup for the
Armenians.

By the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, not only the Russian troops — so close to a
victory — were withdrawn from Western Armenia, but also the Kars and Ardahan
regions of Eastern Armenia were surrendered to Turkey. Once again, the Armenian
people, who had been subjected to a genocide, faced a threat of being
massacred.

Later on, the concessions made by the Bolshevik government to Turkey, were
sustained in the 1921 Moscow and Kars treaties.
Also, the film contains documentary footage of the Genocide.

“Who Had Paid Lenin?” will debut on the Rossia Channel no December 22 at
11:35 p.m. Moscow time.
