Dear L. B.,

I am sending you the set of Proletary (Nos. 1–20) which you asked for.

I have reread some of them. Do not forget to insert a whole chapter on the Popular Socialist liquidators (from Two Parties)[1] in your legal pamphlet. (Peshekhonov, Nos. 7 and 8 of Russkoye Bogatstvo, 1906—cf. Proletary No. 4, “Socialist-Revolutionary Mensheviks”.[2] )

People now have forgotten everything. The novices know nothing.

Begin at the beginning and tell all about liquidationism (and the “legal party”) among the Popular Socialists.

Yours,

Lenin
