Abstract

The article examines the charges brought against S. M. Shapshal for his activities during his stay in Persia. It is shown that their main are Russian slanderous articles, consisting of unsubstantiated accusations with lack of awareness of the authors and unreliable evidence of the period of the information struggle of England and her henchmen in Persia and Russia against the Shah and the influence of Russia in Persia. The distribution of false information is shown by the example of the publication of M. Kizilov “The Sons of Script” and D. Shapira. The facts of the real attitude of the government of Persia after the overthrow of Shah Ali Mohammed to S. M. Shapshala are given, confirmed by documents stored in the S. M. Shapshala F143 fund in the Library of the Academy of Sciences of Lithuania.
