The Deep States of the world like to hide info like this, but it is out there in plain view if you look for it.
From Wikipedia: "Alexander Lvovich Parvus, born Israel Lazarevich Gelfand (8 September 1867 – 12 December 1924) and sometimes called Helphand in the literature on the Russian Revolution, was a Marxist theoretician, publicist, and controversial activist in the Social Democratic Party of Germany."
He was one of the important leaders of the Russian revolution of 1905, which ultimately failed. Parvus became extremely wealthy as a merchant, trading largely around Turkey. He devoted his wealth to pushing Vladimir Lenin into prominence, and convinced Germany, during World War I, to covertly sneak Lenin from exile in Switzerland into his native Russia, supporting Lenin's political activities with piles of money. Germany was only interested in breaking up the Russian empire, which it was fighting. Lenin got lucky, won the Russian civil war, and the Soviet Union was formed.
