Letter to the Editors of Za Pravdu, October not earlier than 27th, 1913
Published: First published in 1933 in Lenin Miscellany XXV. Sent to St. Petersburg. Printed from the original.
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1977, Moscow, Volume 43, page 361b.
Za Pravdu (For Truth)âone of the names under which the Bolshevik newspaper Pravda was published from October 1 (14) to December 5 (15), 1913. Altogether 52 numbers were issued, of which 21 were confiscated and 2 were fined.
Dear Colleagues,
I have just read No. 8 and cannot help expressing my surprise at your publishing such an article as âA Meeting of Marxistsâ,[1] etc.!! To my mind this was extremely unwise, and if the author, for obvious reasons, was âcarried awayâ, you, on the spot, should have realised the impossibility of printing this article. For Godâs sake avoid such carelessness: in this way you are giving the very devil of assistance to all our enemies.
It is necessary to reprint (gradually) from No. 8 the articles of Petrovsky and of the former conciliator.[2]
Best regards,
V.I.
I earnestly request you to change my address: I have written and asked, but it doesnât help!!

Petrovsky, âMy Impressionsâ (concerning his visit to Kiev, Yekaterinoslav, and Kherson and Poltava gubernias) and âFoul Playâ (concerning the Beilis case), and the article by the âformer conciliatorâ N. Borin (N. Krestinsky), âTwo Moral Measuresâ. These articles were not reprinted.
