Letter to Grigori Zinoviev, September 7 or 14, 1909
Published: First published in 1930 in Lenin Miscellany XIII. Printed from the original.
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1971, Moscow, Volume 36, page 166.
Tuesday
Dear Grigory,
I have received the article about the Swedish strike.[1] Itâs a very good one. I have sent it to Paris together with the end of my article on Bogdanov[2] (which came to 100 lines â2 pages of Proletary in the supplement). I donât know now whether you will approve it all. I leave it entirely to your judgement: I am so sick of writing this article that now I donât know whether it wouldnât be better to scrap the whole, and reply to Bogdanov literally in a couple of words about his scandal-mongering regarding the âproperty of the whole groupâ. Itâs up to you!
I shall write about Plekhanov. The Swedish strike article should go in as the leader.
Best wishes,
Lenin
