Letter to the Editors of Severnaya Pravda, After August 21, 1913
Published: First published in 1933 in Lenin Miscellany XXV. Sent from Poronin to St. Petersburg. Printed from the original.
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1977, Moscow, Volume 43, page 359b.
Severnaya Pravda (Northern Truth)âone of the names under which the Bolshevik Pravda was issued from August 1 (14) to September 7 (20), 1913. Altogether 31 numbers were issued.
Dear Colleagues,
Yesterday I sent to Prosveshcheniye a long article âHow Vera Zasulich Demolishes Liquidationismâ.[1] If Severnaya Pravda is still coming out I suggest publishing this article in six feuilletons, one section per feuilleton, the manuscript, however, to be preserved and returned immediately to Prosveshcheniye.
I repeat, I cannot work without seeing the newspapers. A thousand requestsâand still you do not send either Rabochaya Pravda[2] and Zhivaya Zhizn[3] (sets), or Severnaya Pravda and Novaya Rabochaya Gazeta.[4] This used to be done before.
Why publish daily, I donât understand. I advise changing over to a weekly issue. What is the daily loss? What is the circulation?
Greetings and best wishes!
Yours,
Lenin
The promised and long-earned fee from Pravda has not been received! This is becoming insulting!!
