On February 6, 1919, the Soviet Armies once more cleaned KieV<br />

of the Poles and Petlm-a's Bands. I was still a patient at the hospital<br />

when a Soviet Committee came there. Colonel Muravyov approached<br />

'me, <strong>in</strong>troduced himself, and asked whether I was DudikoiT. He also<br />

<strong>in</strong>quired of the nurse whether I could sit up. She replied, '*No/*<br />

Then turn<strong>in</strong>g to me, the Colonel asked: "Were you arrested and if<br />

so, why?" I replied that I had been arrested and had reason tb bd-<br />

lieve because of an order and false <strong>in</strong>formation furnished by a certa<strong>in</strong><br />

person. "Yes, we know," said Muravyov. "And who is this person,<br />

isn't it Platon Rozhdestvensky ?" I confirmed this, and Colonel Muravyov<br />

reassured me and told me that most of the documents <strong>in</strong> my<br />

case aga<strong>in</strong>st Platon were with the General Staff. "Well, don't worry,<br />

Dudikoff," he said, "we will f<strong>in</strong>d the Metropolitan for you."<br />

Soon afterwards I was discharged from the hospital and weni<br />

back, to my post. I was warned that I had a number of enemies<br />

among Platon's followers, and that they were circulat<strong>in</strong>g false rumors<br />

and do<strong>in</strong>g all <strong>in</strong> their power to harm me. I knew Vv/ho those enemies<br />

were. They were the very same psrsons who had, togther with Platon,<br />

obta<strong>in</strong>ed my signature and sent assans<strong>in</strong>s to kill my children ;<br />

the same<br />

persons, on whose false evidence I was arrested ; the same persons,<br />

two of whom had come to see me at the hospital.<br />

When I returned to the factory, I found that there was no money<br />

<strong>in</strong> the cash-box, and there were no funds from which to pay the<br />

workmen. I telephoned to the "Sovnarchoz" and they told me to call<br />

for the money, also that they had set apart 18,000,000 rubles for my<br />

pay roll. I went for the money by myself, without guards and took<br />

along my own 3,500,000 rubles. I arrived at Kiev <strong>in</strong> a phaeton, which<br />

was stopped by two bandit^—one wore a mask, the other was so<br />

rouged and powdered, that his make-up looked like a mask. They<br />

levelled their revolvers at me, and took my money and my gun. As<br />

thev were mak<strong>in</strong>g their getaway, I began to shout. Four soldiers<br />

came runn<strong>in</strong>g to my aid and fired at the robbers. One of them was<br />

killed on the spot, the other escaped. The soldiers found m.y money<br />

on the man they had killed, took it off his body, and led me to the<br />

Lukianov Prec<strong>in</strong>ct Police Station. T- was released the next day by<br />

the manager of the "Sovnarchoz." My money was returned to. me,<br />

and the robbery entered on,; the^station blotter. After this,; I secured<br />

guards, and hav<strong>in</strong>g received the 18,000,000 rubles <strong>in</strong> Petlura notes<br />

returned to the factory. The workmen refused to accept Petlura<br />
