Editing Europa: The Last Battle (section)

===== '''Claim (22:00):''' 1. Kerensky was given a million dollars from the wall street banker Jacob Schiff... 2. to free all political prisoners and permit exiles to return to Russia =====
Schiff floated loans worth at least a million dollars to Kerensky. The Kerensky government ordered an immediate amnesty for all political and religious prisoners, along with other reforms such as freedom of press. There is, however, nothing linking this specific policy to any demand or wish by Schiff. Schiff wanted the persecution of Jews to stop, but that is a religious - not a political - prisoner. Furthermore, the dictator Kerensky soon started '''cracking down''' on the Bolsheviks. For their anti-war stance they were charged with treason by the Ministry of Justice, hundreds were arrested.<ref>Buttar, Prit (2017). ''Russia's Last Gasp: The Eastern Front 1916-17''.</ref> Schiff, however, was in favour of the continued war effort against Germany. How does that fit into the narrative? '''Verdict: 1.''' True '''2.''' False
