But His Majesty did not accept their petition with his hands, but received them with guns and bullets, and in the meantime, the Hermitage Square was full of blood, and more than 1,000 people were killed and countless wounded.www.biquge.info On this day, wives lost their husbands, children lost their parents, mothers lost their sons, and this day is "Black Monday", and this day will be remembered in the hearts of the Russian people ......" -- "History of the Revolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Volume I, Chapter 17, The Hermitage Massacre"

In the No. 1 secret point, Chaginov and others heard gunshots coming from the Winter Palace, and Nikonov said angrily to Chaginov: "Comrade Chaginov, can you tell me what is going on?" Why bring us out, Comrade Ulyanov? ”

Chaginov stood up and looked around, all the members present looked at him with an angry look, Chaginov took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Comrades of the Committee of the Petersburg Marxist Association, now I will convey the important instructions of Chairman Ulyanov, and I hope that you will not write down with a pen and do not spread it to the outside world. ”

The members present were silent, and Chaginov continued: "First of all, I would like to make it clear that it was an order of Chairman Ulyanov to take everyone away from the Hermitage Square. Next, I will formally convey the instructions of Chairman Ulyanov: First, Vasily. Borisovich. Comrade Witte, with the consent of I, Ulyanov, went deep into the tsarist government and used his identity as a cover to develop the revolutionary cause. Second, in me Vladimir. Ilyich. After the arrest of Ulyanov, by Vasily . Borisovich. Witte headed the Petersburg Marxist Society and was solely responsible for all its work; Thirdly, the cause of the revolution has just begun, and we are facing many setbacks, and I hope that comrades will work hard and cooperate, and the proletarians of the whole world will unite, long live socialism! ”

After Chaginov finished speaking, he sat down, Propaganda Minister Ulyanova was already crying, and Commissioner Ivanov asked: "Comrade Chaginov, why is the matter about Comrade Witte hidden from everyone?" And what about Comrades Ramimanov, Choruskaya, Sidorov and Gleboyedov? ”

"Commissioners, some time ago, in view of the many egregious incidents against us, the Ministry of Security conducted a review of all members. During the review, it was discovered that Ramimanov, Chorusskaya, and Sidorov had been bribed by the Tsar's secret police before the establishment of the association, and that Greboyedov's real identity was that of an agent of the secret police. "Therefore, in order to protect the safety of Comrade Werther, we did not state the true identity of Comrade Werther at the committee meeting. ”

Onegin asked, "What?" How is this possible? All the members present were as incredulous as Onegin, but seeing Chaginov say slowly: "The identities of the above-mentioned people have been confirmed by Comrade Werther, and Comrade Werther has seen these people with his own eyes in the secret police station. In addition to that, if the deployment of the secret police is followed, all of us will be arrested by the secret police tonight. ”

Everyone knew that the original strike time at the committee meeting was tomorrow, but last night a meeting was suddenly held to hold a strike in advance, and at the meeting it was only said that the secret police department had learned of the time and number of strikes and was ready to stop it, but they did not expect it to be so serious. Zabarueva asked: "So where are we now?" Is it safe here? ”

The committee members all looked at Chaginov, and then Chaginov said: "We are now at the No. 1 secret point of the Ministry of Security, where no one knows except Comrade Witte and the core members of the Red Group, so everyone can wait here with peace of mind." According to the appointed time, Comrade Witte will come to meet you tonight. ”

As soon as Chaginov finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and all the committee members inside became nervous, at which point Chaginov said: "Everyone is at ease, it is our own people." Then Chaginov went to open the door, and Krupskaya flashed in, and when everyone saw that it was Krupskaya, their nervous hearts immediately relaxed.

"Luka has heard that they have just discovered that Sverdlov has been preempted by the Janissaries before he can start his operation." Krupskaya whispered to Chaginov: "Now Sverdlov has been brought into the Winter Palace by the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, and Luka and they can't follow him. ”

Chaginov's heart tightened when he heard this, and Fedorovsky, who was on the side, saw it and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, Karpovich, what's wrong?" ”

"Sverdlov was brought into the Winter Palace by the Praetorian Guard." "According to the information from Comrade Werther, the executioner Sverdlov seems to know the identity of Comrade Werther, and Comrade Werther ordered us to get rid of this guy. ”

When Fedorovsky heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Then what now?" Will Comrade Witte be in danger? ”

Chaginov replied: "Now we can only respond to all changes with the same, we can only wait patiently, and hope that Comrade Witte will be able to save the day." ”

The people of the Petersburg Marxist Association waited anxiously, and the Hermitage was indeed jubilant, and after the morning crackdown, the Hermitage Square was immediately washed with water, and the square was now clean and tidy again. Witte was still with Nicholas II, as were Interior Minister Goremykin and others. Nicholas II asked: "Goremykin, where is Sverdlov now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has ordered someone to detain him in a secret prison, does Your Majesty want to see him?" Goremygin replied.

Nicholas II thought for a moment and said, "What is the use of such a useless person to see him?" Tell the presiding judge of the court to start the trial as soon as possible and try Ulyanov and Sverdlov together, and I want to tell everyone not to be deceived, and to let all my subjects know that this is just Sverdlov's order. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" A group of ministers shamelessly sycophant.

Nicholas II smiled faintly, and then said: "This time, the palace chamberlain's secretary Vasily. Borisovich. Witte was loyal and brave in his escort, and he did not hesitate to notify the palace guards in time to respond, which was very crediting. From now on, Vasily. Borisovich. Witte served as secretary of the court chamberlain, captain of the Guards, and was given a manor on the outskirts of Petersburg. ”

When Witt heard this, he bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." ”

Nicholas II smiled indifferently and said: "This beautiful afternoon cannot be wasted, afternoon tea time is very precious, and you will go with me." Surrounded by a crowd of ministers, Nicholas II was at the front, and Witte was a little behind, but no one knew what was really going on in his heart at the moment.
