There are many cases of the Baha'is cooperating with the political and economic institutions related to Russia in Iran. The following are some cases: Azizullah Khan Warqa was one of the dignitaries of Tehran and was a member of Russian loan bank in Tehran. It has been written: When Azizullah Khan entered the Russian loan bank in Tehran city to serve, the powerful chairman of the bank achieved confidence, kindness and respect and he was the mere intermediary between men and guardians of affairs and respectful influential people of the country in that bank. He possessed house and furniture in the highest part of the city with coach, beautiful horses and special stable attendant. He often rode his coach along with huge horsemen wearing special cloths and brands of bank to manage the affairs and everybody had to respect him. "Valiullah Khan Varqa, Mirza Azizullah Khan's brothers was the employee of the Russian embassy and then he became the first secretary of the Ottoman embassy in Tehran[1]. It is worthy to be said that the Baha'is exploited their relationships with their friends and relatives and the Russian organization in Iran in order to confront the Iranian government and to be gotten rid of the pressures imposed by the government and people which some cases will be mentioned as follows: According to the book "Mesbahul Hedayat", one of the important Baha'is references when Varqa (of the Baha'ism heads) was captured by Alaudduleh, the ruler of that land, along with Mirza Hussein Zanjani (Muhammad's son died 1302 A.H. in Eshq Abad) in Zanjan city, the ruler was frightened about the consequence pointing out the relationships existent between Mirza Hussein and his groom with the Russian embassy in Iran. The mentioned reference is writing that Alaudduleh addressed Varqa and said: I will cannonade Mirza Hussein tomorrow and send you and your son to Tehran city. The Excellency Verqa had secretly stated that Mirza Hussein has come from Eshq Abad ordered by the consul and king Naseruddin and their groom was a translator. They pursued the matter and the overseer wasn’t pleasant with it. It seems him to be sent to Tehran city with us[2]. Seemingly, Varqa whose threatening dialogue with Zanjan ruler was mentioned above was the very Mirza Ali Muhammad Varaqa, the famous proselytizer of Baha'ism who entered into Caucasus in 1312 A.H. Alaudduleh arrested him and debated with Sheikh Ebrahim Zanjani in the governor's seat in the presence of a number of city wealthy people. Zanjani denounced him in the debate and then wrote a book called "Rajmuddejah Fi Raddul Bab Al-Zalal" (or "Ershadul Iman") to criticize and reject Babism and Baha'ism.[3] The successful debate between Sheikh Ebrahim and Varqa; of course, it was dangerous for Sheikh and ended in issuing the order for his assassination by the Baha'ism center.[4]

According to one of the contemporary researchers[5]: In Qajar period of time, we find out that the European embassies in Iran were openly in favor of Babis and Baha'is. For instance, Sheikh Ali Akbar Qouchani the famous Baha'i (Martyr Shahid Zadeh descendants_ had social intercourses with the European and was imprisoned ordered by Mirza Abdul Wahhab Khan Asefudduleh. He wrote a letter to Kasten, the chairman of Khorasan customs. Another example is the adventure of Baha'is of Azerbayjan being imprisoned. Mirza Heydar Ali Oskouee and a group of Baha'is were imprisoned in Tabriz for a while; but they were freed by the interference of Russian and French consul; even, the Russian consul blazed Shojaudduleh, the ruler of Tabriz and went to prison personally and freed the Baha'is and took them to consulate and entertained them.
