- The "Theosophical" World Order
This theory alleged that Helena Petrovna Blavatsky used Theosophy as a spiritual front for political influence, and in some versions as a Russian espionage or infiltration project aimed at the British elite and imperial society. It developed from Blavatsky’s Russian origin, her extraordinary public claims, the transnational reach of the Theosophical Society, and repeated accusations of fraud and hidden patronage. The theory was amplified after the 1885 Hodgson Report, which also included the allegation that she was acting as a Russian agent.
