Letter to the Organizing Committee, March 31, 1903
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1974, Moscow, Volume 34, page 152.
We advise that steps be taken immediately to have the OC together with the Polish Social-Democrats issue a formal declaration (as detailed and precise as possible) on their full solidarity with the Russian S.D.L.P. and their desire to join the Party. On the basis of such a formally published statement the OC could invite the Polish Social-Democrats to the Congress. Then, surely, no one will protest.[1]
Next (privately), we earnestly request you everywhere and among everyone to prepare the ground for a struggle against the Bund at the Congress. Without a stubborn struggle the Bund will not surrender its position. And we can never accept its position. Only firm determination on our part to go through to the end, to the expulsion of the Bund from the Party, will undoubtedly compel it to give way.
Make haste with the list; it is very important and must be done quickly, without waiting for a reply from the committees. By the way, were the committees given a short time within which to reply? Are you keeping a list of the delegates already appointed? (Send it to us as an additional precaution.)
- â The Polish Social-Democratsâ statement of solidarity with the RSDLP did not appear in Iskra. Representatives of the Polish Social-Democratic Party attended the Second Congress as non-voting delegates.
