oops

Hello Maria. Oops, missed your question. My finding this was mere happenstance. I have wondered where Rachkovski played up the Ripper killings. Here it is. Vassiliev--in the form we know it--was a myth.

Cheers.

Father Gapon

Hello All. Here is an interesting story from the "NY Times" November 7, 1909.

It concerns Father Gapon, a man who became a spy for Rachkovski. I post his sketch below and plan to post the story afterward. (I apologise in advance for the poor quality of some of the print.)

Cheers.

Rachkovski--MO

Hello All. Here is a write up on Rachkovski, just after his death. It is taken from the "Indianapolis Star" December 1, 1910.

Note that he is accused of hatching some of the plots himself. Note, too, that many socialists/anarchists/nihilists were in his employ.

Cheers.

Hello Lynn,

Thank you for your presentations recently, especially this last one. Really interesting it is.
Dear old Father Gapon got a little hooked up in the job, I note.

best wishes

job description

Hello Phil. Thanks.

Yes, he didn't like the job description for his position with Rachkovski. He felt a bit stifled as it was too constrictive.

Also, he may not have been properly trained. I daresay that's what he meant when he replied, "Well, this is all noose to me."

Cheers.
