Written in connection with the election of the Mensheviks F. I. Dan and L. Martov to the Moscow Soviet of Workers’ and Red Army Deputies.

In the elections to the Moscow Soviet, which were held in the second half of February and early March 1920, 1,566 deputies were returned, including 1,316 Communists (84%), 52 Communist sympathisers (4%), and 46 Mensheviks (3%).

I think you should “wear them out” with practical assignments:

Dan—sanitary inspection,

Martov—control over dining-rooms.
