Karl Moor

Karl Vital Moor (11 December 1852 – 14 June 1932) was a Swiss communist, and a channel for German financing of the 19th-century European Bolshevik movement.

During this period, he provided assistance to political exiles from Russia, as well as the leaders of the Peoples' First Polish Socialist Party, "Proletariat," and the Bolsheviks-Lenintsev.

On May 4, 1917, Moor received a report from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs detailing his interactions with various representatives of pacifist groups within Russia, including Socialists.

These representatives expressed a strong desire for a systematic, intensive, and effective campaign advocating for peace, to be led by a well-known neutral figure.

He further suggested the following principles: The sponsor would guarantee that money would come from an unsuspected source, and that the sponsor or the mediator would be provided with entry into Russia with the money, and to implement an immediate allocation of funds in the form of cash, and the most appropriate form of cash would be the Swiss franc As a result, in July 1917 Moor was in Russia and supplied the Bolsheviks a loan in the amount of 32,837 dollars, allegedly from the inheritance.
