Comrade Berzin

Dear Comrade B.,

What’s this story about Herzog’s expulsion?[1]

I think we should speak in his favour. Don’t forget, the people who have expelled him are scoundrels, opportunists.

Write about this.

I hope you have wound up the Guilbeaux “affair” in the sense of having fully recognised him as rehabilitated. Give him my regards. Where is he?

When will the French edition of The State and Revolution appear?[2] Have I time to write a preface against Vandervelde?

Send me: Vandervelde, Le Socialisme contre l’Etat; La Belgique envahie et le Socialisme international; Trois aspects de la revolution russe. All three are published by Berger-Levrault, Paris, 5–7, rue des Beaux-Arts.

Please collect all pamphlets of this kind (English, French, Italian, German).

Send information about France more often. What goes on there? How are things there?

Greetings,

Yours,

Lenin
