Research by A.G. Mosyakin "Gold of the Russian Empire and the Bolsheviks" introduces into scientific and public circulation a large layer of archival documents revealing the fate of the world's largest Russian gold reserve, created before the First World War and disappeared in eight years.
The fate of Russian gold exported abroad by the tsarist government during the war is generally known. But the fate of the gold reserves of Imperial Russia, inherited by the Bolsheviks, is almost entirely a dark spot in Russian history. The documents published here shed light on it. They show the special role that "royal" gold played in the course and outcome of the Civil War in Russia, and reveal the secret connections of the Bolshevik leaders with the world financial oligarchy, allowing you to look behind the scenes of the historical events that saved the Bolshevik regime from collapse. Almost all of the 742 published documents originate from the Russian State Archive of Economics and are made public for the first time, facsimiles at that. A facsimile is given and a document on the accounts of V.I. Lenin in New York banks, sent to the author from the USA. The presented documents and their analysis make us take a fresh look at the historical events of a hundred years ago, which determined the future of Russia and the whole world. For historians and a wide range of readers.
