- Jacob Schiff (<strong>of</strong> the New York bankers, 'Kuhn, Loeb & Co). - New York Times, March 24th 1917.<br />

"Today it is estimated even by Jacob Schiff's grandson, John Schiff, a prominent member <strong>of</strong> New<br />

York society, that the old man sank about $20,000,000 for the final triumph <strong>of</strong> Bolshevism in Russia."<br />

- Cholly Knickerbocker, N.Y American Journal, February 3rd 1949<br />

"A wind <strong>of</strong> reaction was blowing at that time over the whole <strong>of</strong> Russia against the devastating furors<br />

<strong>of</strong> Bolshevism. <strong>The</strong> struggle for emancipation in the Urals, Siberia, in the Donets and in the northern<br />

provinces, had torn from the authority <strong>of</strong> the Soviets a great part <strong>of</strong> Russian territory. Bolshevism<br />

seemed to be on the verge <strong>of</strong> collapse.<br />

It was daved by the intervention <strong>of</strong> the allied powers, and principally by the untoward intervention <strong>of</strong><br />

President Wilson (who) secured the survival <strong>of</strong> the Communist regime. <strong>The</strong> Bolsheviks themselves<br />

were convinced that the experiment <strong>of</strong> Communism had reached its end; they were more surprised<br />

than anyone else at the unexpected turn <strong>of</strong> events."<br />
