Dear Comrade,
In reply to your query with Comrade Tyszkaâs telegram enclosed I regret to inform you that I must refuse to pose the question as Comrade Tyszka would wish, for I believe that such a presentation of the question is absolutely in correct.
The representative of our group in the Central Committee Bureau Abroad, Comrade Victor, informed Comrade Tyszka that our group could not agree to the appointment of both a Bolshevik and a Menshevik as representatives of the CC[1]
Now Comrade Tyszka is appealing from Comrade Victor to me personally: âif Lenin himself objects to Igor,â the telegram says, âwe shall give up Igorâ!! This is tantamount to appealing to me personally against a decision of our group. I shall not reply to this âifâ of Comrade Tyszkaâs. In my opinion, Comrade Tyszka should himself withdraw his motion to appoint Igor.
With comradely greetings,
N. Lenin
