for the following massacre - unless the genuinely Russian Tolstoyan
thought that one should not oppose the wicked brought about its
consequences.
Apart from the parallel government of the Petersburg
Workers' Councils, in Kronstadt a separate republic of sailors had
been formed. It recognised no law above it, the weak government
dealt with the mutineers as with a power with equal rights, and in
this way it was possible that in June 1917 many thousands of sailors
incited and led by a Jewish student from the Riga Polytechnic, the
infamous Roschal, sailed up the Neva to overthrow the government.
The coup failed and the most important leaders, Bronstein (Trotsky),
Rosenfeld (Kamenev), 321 Nachamkes (all Jews) were imprisoned.
But not for long. Thanks to the energy of Lieber, they were soon
released, the demand for which succeeded in the name of freedom,
the Bolsheviks had indeed fought only for their ideals and this faith
should be respected. From which it is evident that it is good to let
one's brothers operate in many parties.
Kerensky, the new prime minister, could not save the
situation. Much has been written on his personality, many in
322
Germany saw in him a Jew, others a Russian imperialist, the third
group a new pure idealist. The picture that Prof. Freytagh-
Loringhoven 323 gives of Kerensky surely comes closest to the truth.
Kerensky was a man like thousands of Russians. His father was a
principal of a grammar school, his mother (supposedly) the daughter
of a general. He came therefore from the circle of the intelligentsia
and was a typical representative of a large category within its centre.

[Lev Kamenev (ne Rosenfeld) (1883-1 936) was a Bolshevik revolutionary who
served in 1918 as deputy chairman under Lenin of the Council of People's
Commissars and was married to Trotsky's sister Olga (see also note above).]

In his book Zertriimmert die Gotzen, Dr. Eberle informs us that, according to
the Jiidische Rundschau of Warsaw, Kerensky comes from a Jewish family from
Vilna; his father emigrated to America; according to the Volkstem, his mother was
born Adler. 1 have read many biographies of Kerensky and found nothing of this in
them. [Joseph Eberle (1 884- 1 947) was a German conservative Catholic writer who
moved to Austria in 1916, where he published a journal called "Schonere Zukunft".
Despite his anti-Semitism, he was arrested and imprisoned by the new National
Socialist government for contravening the educational aims of the Fuhrer.]
