Dear Comrade,

We were very willingly preparing to publish your article on Struve’s book.[1] But in a second reading we realised that the passage about the serf economy would inevitably be understood in Party circles as advice to delete the confiscation of landed estates in the Programme. This needs discussing. Why not throw out the passage for the time being? We thought you did not want to start a discussion just at present.

If we are wrong, and you did want to start a discussion, drop us a line: if you insist, we shall carry the article....[2]

The Economy and Society.—Price-Value. St. Petersburg-Moscow. Ryabushinsky Publishers, 1913. On Lenin’s advice, the section on the serf economy was deleted.
