Plan of a Speech at a Meeting of The Communist Group of the Fourth All-Russia Congress of Trade Unions
Source: Lenin Collected Works, 3nd English Printing, Progress Publishers, 1977, Moscow, Volume 42, page 302b.
The meeting of the Communist group of the Fourth All-Russia Congress of Trade Unions to discuss the activities of the ACCTU was held on May 18, 1921. The congress Steering Commission set up by the CC of the RCP(b) drafted a reso-lution on the activities of the ACCTU which was to be used as a basis for the resolution of the T.U. Congress, and directed commission member M. P. Tomsky, Chairman of the ACCTU, to put this draft down for discussion by the Communist group. Tomsky, however, did not do this. The groupâs, meeting adopted a resolution tabled by D. B. Ryazanov, which ran counter to the Party decisions concerning the relations between the Party and the trade unions. The plenum of the CC, RCP(b) on May 18 condemned Byazanovâs resolution, decided to remove Tomsky from the commission and relieve him of his post in the ACCTU, and to remove Ryazanov from trade union work.

- â During the years of industrial breakdown and disorganisation following the First World War and the civil war some of the industrial workers became declassed. It was said of such people that they did not do their jobs at the factories, but made "cigarette ligliters" there, that is, they took advantage of the slackening of labour discipline to make articles of domestic use for the black market.
