Key Notes
Bolshevik violence Jiang interprets as both political terror and wealth extraction.
Jiang claims Wall Street and the City of London paid Bolshevik mercenaries, and that the Bolsheviks repaid them through Red Terror extraction from Russian wealth holders.
He defines Bolshevik asset stripping as reducing Russia to barter and robbery, looting palaces, banks, churches, and museums, and fencing valuables abroad for capitalist hard currency.
The Bolsheviks won despite weak electoral support by using Red Terror, wealth seizure, mercenaries, and outside financial help.
