Radek
and Zinoviev
7.50 p.m. 28.V.
I have just received a telegram from Berlin signed by Zetkin, with the following text:
âUnder various pretexts, the Party CC has refused permission for the departure of the delegates authorised by the opposition, BraĂ and Anna Geyer. That is why I refuse to go until my associatesâ trip is guaranteed.â
I request Radek and Zinoviev to let me know their opinion by telephone: isnât it better to advise the Central Committee to agree to the departure of BraĂ and Anna Geyer? Or is it better for everyone, including myself, to say absolutely nothing?[1]
28/V.
Lenin
- â In a reply letter, the same day, May 28, 1921, K. B. Radek and G. Y. Zinoviev advised Lenin to pass on Clara Zetkinâs telegram to the Comintern Executive Committee. The latter rejected Clara Zetkinâs demand. Later, after a conference with delegates from the United Communist Party of Germany to the Third Congress of the Comintern (before it opened), the Executive sent the CC of the U.C.P.G. a telegram proposing that Anna Geyer and Otto BraĂ should not be prevented from attending the congress.
However, the two did not attend the congress. The CC of the U.C.P.G. objected to their going to Moscow, apparently because they approved the stand of Paul Levi, who had repeatedly violated Party discipline and had been expelled fro:n the Party by the CC on April 15, 1921 (see Note 119).
