Common points of contact between individual Russian revolutionaries and “unknown forces,” or rather occult ones, really existed. For example, it turns out that the leading figure of the Communist Party, a fiery tribune, a fighter for the ideas of the revolution, “leader number two” Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov was... an occultist. And a convinced occultist, an avid follower of dark sacred teachings. The departure from classical family Judaism due to the wandering and stormy life of a revolutionary pushed him to an independent search for certain “deep” truths. And he, like some other revolutionaries, came to Kabbalah. Their entire infernal essence fully manifested itself at a turning point in our past, during the era of revolution and civil war, whose anti-Christian character is now obvious to everyone. In the new book by V.E. Shambarov reveals in detail and conclusively the occult roots of the Russian revolution and analyzes one of the most terrible and mysterious figures in Russian history, Ya.M. Sverdlov, whose non-mythical personality seemed to “fall out” from the field of view of researchers.
