 Comrade Valentine: The True Story of Azef the Spy - The Most Dangerous Man in Russia at the Time of the Last Czars. - ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Born in 1869 near the Polish border city of Lyskovo, the son of a Jewish tailor, Azef became embroiled in the anticzarist underground movement as a student.
Azef had amassed a fortune and long maintained two households, one with his wife and the other with his German mistress, Hedy, with whom he luxuriously (if cautiously) traveled, eventually settling in Berlin as Herr Alexander Neumayer.
Azef's dual loyalties, ironically, made him a historical nonperson for the winners and the losers of the Russian Revolution.

He describes Azef as a man whose "search for freedom, security, and power led him to the dark heart of the underground civil war." That is, Azef was able to play all sides of the political spectrum for his own emotional and financial profit.
This is the sinister personality of the quintessential traitor: Yevno Azef, who had the effect on the history of the past century and on our own far beyond of what is usually recognized, and probably far beyond his talents.
By the combination of fate and his own ambitions Yevno Azef got close to the leading Russian Revolutionaries of the beginning of century - and they were not Lenin and his tiny band, but a well-established and organized party of Socialist Revolution, known to-day mostly only to the historians of the period.

COMRADE VALENTINE: THE TRUE STORY OF AZEF THE SPY (1994) is the biography of Yevno Azef, a master of intrigue who was simultaneously Russia’s greatest revolutionary terrorist and a top agent of the czar’s secret police.
In his role as chief of the Socialist Revolutionary Party’s Combat Organization, Azef was responsible for the assassination of scores of high government officials, including the notorious interior minister, von Plehve, and the czar’s uncle, the Grand Duke Sergei.
At the same time, Azef betrayed many of his terrorist comrades to the police — a practice that eventually led to his “trial” in Paris by a revolutionary tribunal headed by the famous anarchist, Prince Kropotkin, and a daring flight to freedom.

 Evno Azef
Azef was paid 100 rubles a month and in 1899 it was suggested by Okhrana that he would be more effective working in Russia.
Azef sat in a very dangerous position, especially after Gershuni's arrest, and he had to think first of his own safety.
Azef had little love for Plehve: as a Jew, he could not help but resent the Kishinev pogrom and the minister's reputed role.

Both were poignant examples of the incredible lengths to which Government Secret Servants went in confronting waves of Anarchist violence at the start of the 20th century by use of the agent provocateur.
Most amazing of these was Yevno Azef, a poor Russian Jew who became, first, a revolutionary sworn to overthrow the Czarist regime, and then, a well-paid secret police spy, encouraged by government pay-masters to lead fellow revolutionaries in acts of terror so that the police would be justified in arresting his accomplices.
Many books have been written trying to understand Azef's true motives.

This use of double agents (or agents provocateurs, as they were often known) did much to demoralize both the revolutionaries and the police and to undermine the reputation of both with the public at large.
The nadir was reached in 1908, when it was disclosed that Yevno Azef, longtime head of the terrorist wing of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, was also an employee of the department of police and had for years been both betraying his revolutionary colleagues and organizing the murders of his official superiors.
The split in the Social Democratic Party was deepened by the failure of the 1905 revolution.

 Gapon - Who was he? What were the consequences of Bloody Sunday?
In fact, it was this attempt — and the revelation that Gapon was still in touch with the tsar’s police from abroad — that spawned the plot to murder Gapon.
And one of the four plotters, Yevno Azef, was himself revealed in 1908 to be an Okhrana double agent.
You are really going to have to do better than simply labeling Gapon and Rutenberg “pals” to build a case that Gapon ever became truly committed to revolution.
