Murder of the President P. Doumer by a Russian emigrant: versions of the motives for the crime.
May 6, 1932 French President Paul Doumer was shot dead in Paris. The murderer was a Russian emigrant P. Gorgulov, eccentric person. Almost immediately it was suggested several versions regarding motives that guided Gorgulov. Russian emigrant acted in the state of temporary insanity and wasn`t aware of what he did. P. Gargulov was a Soviet agent carrying out the mission to kill the president, and thus to trigger a war. Emigrant belonged to the so called white emigration and participated in a white plot that pursued the aim to unleash war between Russia and France in order to destroy Bolshevism. The complexity is caused by the fact that there is reason to identify Gorgulov in each of these versions.
