Да вот что: не потому ли Парвус так и старается, чтоб именно - Ленина замарать с собою вместе? Вот такой индивидуально-семейной поездкой накинуть петлю - а потом и в руки взять? а потом и условия диктовать - как революцию вести? (Солженицын 5). Perhaps that was it: perhaps Parvus was going to so much trouble simply so that Lenin would be tarred with the same brush? Perhaps Parvus had arranged this individual and family journey to slip a noose on him and then take him in hand? Dictate conditions, tell him how to conduct the revolution? (5a).
