Copy to Comrade Rakovsky
In view of the fact that 13 delegates from each trend were elected at the congress, that 105 delegates took no part in the elections to the Central Committee and 8 abstained, the Politbureau of the CC, RCP has resolved, as a way out of the abnormal situation, to set up a temporary bureau of two representatives each from the old CC and the new. Comrade Shumsky, a former Borotbist, to be appointed the fifth member of the bureau.[1]
On behalf of the Politbureau,
Lenin
- ↑ This refers to the elections to the CC, CP(b) of the Ukraine at the Fourth Conference of the CP(b)U held in Kharkov from March 17 to 23, 1920.
The work of the conference was marked by a bitter struggle of the Leninists against an oppositional group of Democratic Centralists headed by T. Sapronov, V. Boguslavsky, Y. Drobnis, M. Farbman (Rafail) and others. During the elections to the Central Committee of the CP(b)U the Democratic Centralists succeeded by factional devices (voting by lists, etc.) in getting a majority of their supporters into the Central Committee and in sending their delegates to the Ninth Congress of the RCP(b).
105 conference delegates who upheld the Leninist line refused to take part in the elections to the CC of the CP(b)U and denounced them as non-valid. Since the Central Committee elected by the conference did not reflect the will of the majority of the Ukrainian Communists, the CC, RCP(b) decided it should be dissolved and replaced by a provisional CC of the CP(b)U consisting of V. P. Zatonsky, F. Y. Ron, S. V. Kosior, D. Z. Manuilsky, G. I. Petrovsky, F. A. Sergeyev (Artyom), V. Y. Chubar, and others. In order to explain the measures taken to suppress the factional activity of the Democratic Centralists in the Ukraine, the CC, RCP(b) on April 16, 1920, published an open letter addressed to all Party organisations in the Ukraine. This letter was approved by all the Party organisations of the Republic. To strengthen the Ukrainian Party organisations, the CC, RCP(b) put a large group of experienced Party workers at the disposal of the CC, CP(b)U. In May 1920 alone, 674 Communists were sent to the Ukraine. By a decision of the CC, RCP(b) of April 5, 1920, a re-registration of members of the Communist Party of the Ukraine was carried out.
