Did you ever hear the tragedy of Jacob Peters? I thought not. It's not a story the British would tell you. It's a Conspirologist legend. Jacob Peters was a Bolshevik, so powerful and so wise he could use the British to influence the very fabric of reality in Russia.
Officially, "Jacob" "Peters" was the son of a Latvian farmhand. After the Revolution of 1917, he was one of the founders of the Cheka. Officially, he was Dzerzhinsky's deputy, but there are reasons to think he was equal or even superior to "Iron Felix".
Depending on who he was talking to, Peters claimed that he was was born either to pauper peasants or to a wealthy landowner's family. It is unclear whether Latvian, Polish or Russian was his first language.
During the 1905 Revolution he claimed to have been involved in "propaganda among Latvian paupers and peasants". Later he was accused of the attempted murder of a factory owner; after his acquittal he went to London, where he met with "Theodore" "Rothstein".
Rothstein was the Russian communists' "Man in London" who was good friends with C. P. Scott, influential politician & editor of The Guardian. At one point, Scott called Prime Minister Lloyd George and asked him to stop a Scotland Yard investigation into Rothstein.
