The documentary is based on one of the many versions of the events that led to the October 1917 coup in Russia. The focus of documentary filmmakers is the figure of Alexander Parvus. It was he, the organizer of the financing of the Bolsheviks led by Lenin, the German government, who was the main protagonist of these events. The version proposed in the film is convincingly confirmed by sensational documents from Western repositories and archives of the FSB, for the first time open to the Russian audience, as well as research by authoritative historians.
