Proposal for the Politbureau of the RCP(b) CC, April 28, 1922
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Volume 45, page 536a.
Written in connection with the following proposal introduced by Trotsky in the Politbureau of the RCP(b) CC on April 28, 1922: = â1) to issue a statement for agitational purposes to the effect that if the Entente governments should confiscate all the capital of the Russian capitalists abroad, the Soviet Government would undertake not to raise any protest, = 2) to issue a manifesto to the population in the event of a break-up of the talks at the Genoa Conference.â = Lenin underlined this sentence from Trotskyâs note: âWe should ask our delegation to let, us have an outline of their main ideas for such a manifesto (otherwise we may well miss some important aspects)â and wrote in the margin: âI agree only with the last sentence.â
That same day, the Politbureau adopted this decision: = âTo send a telegram to Comrades Chicherin and Litvinov to this effect: âIn the event of a break-up we consider it, necessary to issue a manifesto to the population on behalf of the CPC or the All-Russia CEC. Please outline a draft of the manifesto or the main ideas for one, and send urgently to Moscowââ (Central Party Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the CPSU Central Committee).
In the subsequent course of the talks, the need for a manifesto disappeared.
Only one thing should be done right away: send a coded telegram to Chicherin requesting a summary or theses for a manifesto.
