Letter to Lev Kamenev, January 8, 1913
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1977, Moscow, Volume 43, pages 325-326a.
Dear L. B.,
I received your letter and will try to fulfil your requests, although I can promise no success as yet.
The people are practically all here....[1]
The first impression (sous toutes rèserves) is most favourable. No âmincingâ whatever. We are starting to confer today and hope to make good progress. When we have finished I shall write to you again.
They have brought a letter from Alexinsky. I am enclosing it. When you have read it (and made a copy for yourself) be sure to return it without delay.
Yesterday an extremely friendly letter arrived from Gorky, who appears to be utterly âcharmedâ at the Vperyod people joining Pravda.
He writes that he and Tikhonov will take the literary section of Pravda, ... and that âMachism, god-building and all that nonsense have faded out for goodâ. Splendid!
It was a mistake of yours to undertake to write a review on Steklov. It wonât ring true....
They promise to put out Prosveshcheniye in the middle of January.
Plekhanov wrote to Pravda (through Dnevnitsky), offering to write an answer to Mayevsky, âprovided there is no double censorshipâ. They replied consenting. They are awaiting the article. Buryanov has come to see Plekhanov. Plekhanov wrote him opposing Jagielloâs admission.
An invitation has been received from the Vorstand to a unity conference: CC+OC+Plekhanov+Duma group+P.S.D. Weâll send them to the devil. Entre nous!
Iâm in a hurry. Must wind up. Everyone sends you best regards, especially Malinovsky and Koba. We are terribly sorry you are not here. On the whole things seem to be on the upgrade. Financially Pravda is hard up, but we pin our hopes now on Gorky.
All the best,
Yours,
Lenin
