History
André Bar, journalist and agitator working undercover under the coordination of Meteora, investigated the Serbian conspiracy of the Circle of the Serpent from its tables. On the night of 5–6 July 1901 he gave the Time Bandits the intelligence on the secret midnight meeting at the Mansion of Natalia Petrovna: time, entrances, plan of the main hall and estimated number of attendees. The trade earned Bar the nickname “the journalist of the Carousel”.
