It is a downright invention to say that Frederik Ström, allegedly contrary to the wishes of the Russians, had prevented a representative of Socialdemokraten[1] from attending the conference. To Ström’s question, Lenin replied:

We have absolutely no trust in Mr. Branting. If you have trust in him, you are free to invite his representative.
