Gurdjieff myself commented indirectly on this claim in his book Beelzebub’s Tales when he said that “During a war each person that is several what aware is measured a spy because of his sincerity and alertness.”

In the midst of activist confusion in Russia he absent Petrograd in 1917 to arrival to his family home in Alexandropol. Throughout the Bolshevik Revolution Gurdjieff set up temporary study district in Essentuki in the Caucasus, then Tuapse, Maikop, Sochi and Poti, all on the Black Sea coast of southern Russia, wherever he worked intensively with many of his Russian pupils.

In March 1918, Ouspensky divided from Gurdjieff, and four months later Gurdjieff’s eldest sister and her family reached him in Essentuki as refugees, bringing news that Turks had attempt his father in Alexandropol on 15 May. As Essentuki became ever more exposed by Civil War, Gurdjieff planted a fabricated newspaper story of his approaching ‘scientific expedition’ to Mount Induc.

There Gudjieff rented a home on Koumbaradji Street in Pera and later at 13 Abdullatif Yemeneci Sokak near the Galata rise. The residence is near the tekke of the Mevlevi arrange of Sufis, where Gaurdjieff, Ouspensky, and Thomas de Hartmann experienced the sema ceremony of the Whirling Dervishes. In Istanbul Gurdjieff also met John G. Bennett.
