 It was alleged that the German general staff was funneling money to the Bolsheviks, with Hanecki as the go-between.The head of the Provisional Government, Alexander Kerensky claimed in his memoirs that the government had proof that Hanecki intended to enter Russia in July, carrying incriminating material, and would have had him arrested, but he was alerted in time.At the time, Lenin denied that Hanecki was a Bolshevik, or that the Bolsheviks had ever received money from him.
