Comrade Molotov:
Unless my memory fails me, I believe the newspapers carried a CC letter or circular about May Day, which said: expose the falsehood of religion, or something to that effect.
That is not right. It is tactless. Just because it is the Easter holiday, we should recommend something quite different:
not to expose the falsehood,
but absolutely to avoid any affront to religion.
We should issue an additional letter or circular.[1] If the Secretariat does not agree, then in the Politbureau.
Lenin
- â In addition to an earlier circular, the RCP(b) Central Committee published a letter in Pravda on April 21, 1921, urging that in celebrating May Day ânothing should be done or said to offend the religious feelings of the mass of the populationâ.
