Letter to Grigori Zinoviev, Prior to August 23, 1915
Published: First published in 1904 in Collected Works, Fifth (Russian) Ed., Vol. 49. Sent from SĂśrenberg to Hertenstein. Printed from the original.
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1977, Moscow, Volume 43, pages 483b-484.
I am for No. 1 (August) and No. 2 (September).[1] 50 pages for an article is yourâpardonâfantasy.
Yuri should not be included in the delegation.[2] He doesnât know any foreign language. No sense in it. To pay court to them is harmful. We have one âlady editorââdo you want another âdelegate from the CC delegationâ? Better not.
I canât write about Russia. Send Bukharinâs letter. I do not see any newspapers. (I have only Rech.)
Itâs annoying that Radek has not been copied. If corrections, the following should be added:
1) mention of Basle
2) illeg. org., etc. But is it worth sending him corrections? (for Trotsky?)
Yuri writes that Trotsky will be the only one from Nashe Slovo. This will make cheating still easier for them.
Will Kamenski be there? I doubt it!! Write to him immediately, for you have spoken to him.
I remember you saying that Grimm wanted the conference to be not in Berne. Are we to return to Berne? If so, 1.IX is too early. (Maybe you will go a bit earlier, or do you have special business to see to there?)
Alexander wants to go to Russia. I am writing him, supporting this plan.[3] A pity there are no CC men. Heâs the man for us, if it were not for Kollontai (she is going to America to lecture and carry on internationalist agitation).
Ludmila has found herself (sic!) without money or a passport!! I donât think she will go anywhere.
She has brought French books, which we shall send to you after perusal (and you return Rappoport, after perusal: I sent it to you without having had time to read it).
Regards,
Yours,
Lenin
What about Karpinskyâs article for Kommunist?
Re the draft resolution, I sent it to you (=draft of condensed resolution). Did you make a copy? If not, I can send you one. If we are to prepare our own draft we must hurry.
P.S. â300 yearsâ is no good, in my opinion. Must be rewritten for the legal publication.
