Parvus was well-connected, he had ties to Lenin, Trotsky, and German elites.
His plan was brutally strategic:
“Russia’s war effort can be destroyed not by armies, but by revolution at home.”
The memorandum outlined concrete steps:
Fund Bolshevik propaganda and newspapers
Smuggle materials into Russia
Support worker uprisings and strikes
Fuel separatism in Ukraine, Finland, the Caucasus
Sabotage railroads and communications
Disrupt supply lines to the front
Provide support to Russian revolutionary émigrés in the United States to spread anti-Tsarist agitation abroad and pressure allies from outside
Parvus wrote:
“The political strike must begin in Petrograd and spread to key industries and railways… The objective is to paralyze transport and the war economy.”
