[AFAICT there was a lot of paranoia on the Soviet side, and as a basis for that paranoia they pointed to all the Capitalist forces active in russia during the revolution, but in retrospect some part of all that foreign intervention had been due to a problem of their own making: they believed world revolution was only a few years off (and just maybe they didn't want to look inconsistent with their own ideology?), so instead of doing what any reasonable mafia would've done and kept on paying dividends on imperial paper (perhaps even after negotiating an acceptable haircut?) and maybe even paying lip service to IP rights, on both fronts they rather rudely essentially told all the now-former investors to "go to wood"]
Lagniappe: somewhere in Abai's қара сөздері, he says something similar to "you know, it wouldn't do us Kazakhs much harm if once in a while we were to think of something other than how to grift more cows"; with that in mind: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/life-3
