  5. PARVUS – LENIN - KONDRATIEFF SOME CHRONOLOGY • 1867 Birth of Parvus (Alexander Israel Helphand) in what is now Belarus. • 1870:  Birth of Lenin • 1887 Execution of brother politicizes Lenin • 1891 Parvus receives his PhD in economics from Basel; develops a reputation as Marxist theoretician, and ultimately described in the memoir of one German socialist as having "the ablest brains of the Second International” • 1892 Birth of Nikolai DmitriyevichKondratieff • 1893 Lenin in exile, Siberia plus Europe, for political agitation • 1900 Lenin meets Parvus in Munich. He revives Marx's concept of "permanent revolution" which is adopted by Lenin and Trotsky. • 1901 Parvus writes a pamphlet restating 1847 idea of British engineer Dr. Hyde Clark, of 54 year cycle but it was Kondratieffwho first described the cycle in detail and for whom the cycle is named. Kondratieff cycles are most readily apparent in monetary data such as prices and interest rates.

  6. 1905 Russian Revolution:  labor strikes, officer mutinies, Bloody Sunday (peaceful demonstrators gunned down by Imperial Guard) led to the establishment of limited constitutional monarchy, the State Duma of the Russian Empire, the multi-party system, and the Russian Constitution of 1906.  Parvus, along with Trotsky,  is arrested and imprisoned for authoring a paper entitled The Financial Manifesto which caused panic in the banking sector and other agitation but escapes 3 years in exile in Siberia. • 1913 Two Dutch socialists talk of a cycle including 25 years of slow growth followed by a "springtide". • 1914 Russia sustaining huge losses in WWI • 1915 Lenin and Parvus meet in Bern. Lenin is willing to receive German sponsorship but won't publicly acknowledge relationship so there is still debate about how Lenin was financed.   By now Parvus regarded as a German agent, but a committed Marxist. • 1917 Kondratieff a young professor specializing in agricultural economics. • 1917 Lenin returns to Russia following February Revolution that overthrows the Czar, replacing him with a Provisional Government, whose second Prime Minister was Alexander Kerensky. Kerensky appoints Kondratieff Deputy Minister of Food Supplies. Lenin becomes leader of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party and helps orchestrate the October Revolution that overthrows Kerensky's Provisional Government and establishes the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic.
