In Poking I stayed three weeks. This was at the time that Comrade Ivanoff (alias Krause), who got rid all the counterfeit Canadian dollers in China; arrived fr Urga. While I was there Karakhan suggested that I ought to prepare for Moscow a full report on my previous work, but I got through Egoroff an appointment to the Shanghai Consulate-General, under Vice-Consul Bitieff, as a secret agent along the lines of the Cheka. For a time I lived on the top floor of the Consulate but later lived in three different private flats.
Mr. Kezlovsky may not know much of my work here, but Ozornin will remember it.
He will know that T hed much to do with the mobilization of White Ri Nitehieff, and that I furniss material for a series of articles in this connexion about evil conditions in the White detachments which appeared locally. A witness to these affairs was Baranoff who. after T had left Shanghai, was found unconscious in Range' Road on the first day of Russian Easter and who died without recovering consciousness. The Consular people also know that I was asked to sort ithe documents bearing upon military affairs which were stolen from the off. Also that I enlisted White Russian recruits for Gouschin's detachment. I was involved in many other tricks played by the: Consulate and know something about most stolen documents, including those taken from an' Amerfoan intelligence man here. The raid the st was, ky, as is' gene supposed, but by Vilde, Angarsky and me, T gave Makavos the Soviet flag for the boat. it will be remembered in the Consulate that I sent Essaoul Kopteoff to Russia, by order of the Cheka transmitted through Murner, to search for counter-revolutionary in Zabailkai, where he proved an inefficient' worker: It was T also who was sent to Chapei to teach the Chinese mob demons strafers the use of swords, bayonets and other "cold munitions," and also-delivered grenades to the Communist workers on the jetty of the Chinese Eastern Railway in Pootung.
