Comrade Lunacharsky:
I should very much like to fulfil Comrade Zinovievâs request and scold Serrati.[1]
Could you help me?
You could help in two ways:
1) let me have the manuscript of your pamphlet (16.XI, did you say? or later, retyped?),[2]
2) let me have two or three original documents in Italian, the better to âbraceâ me up. Letâs have the most eloquent documents.
Incidentally, Serrati appeared to have asked Lazzari: âHave you been swindled?â âWho is the swindler?â Do you happen to have the original of this question?
P.S. Return the enclosure.
Regards,
Lenin
- â G. Y. Zinoviev asked Lenin to write an article or a letter against the Italian reformists and Serratiâs double-dealing behaviour, believing this to be of groat importance. See also this volume, Document 569.
- â A reference to A. V. Lunacharskyâs pamphlet which he was then writing on Leninâs proposal (see Collected Works, Fifth (Russian) Edition, Vol. 53, Document 518). The pamphlet was published in Petrograd in 1922 under the title Citizen Giacinto Serrati, or a Revolutionary-Opportunist Amphibian.
