To:   G. Y. ZINOVIEV [1]

Regarding Kommunist , it’s not worth arguing any more, seeing
that you deny the fact that they insisted to the last on equality
and refused to make any change in the Editorial Board. You can’t
get away from the facts:
(1) equality; (2) Tyszka im
Hintergrunde. [2]

I sent the 200 frs.

The Shklovsky scandal makes me furious and worries me. [3] And you wanted to hand all the funds over to him!! Energetic
action is called for: he should be told that the money is needed by the New
Year, and you should keep at him until he returns it all! What a damned
scandal! A real “financial swindle”, and right under our noses.

I agree to your plan for a collective letter to
Arbeiterpolitik .

Best regards, Lenin

P.S.

What about the letter to Paris?

Hasn’t Inessa sent it yet?

|| N.B.

P.S. Re “ Soviet of Workers’ Deputies ” and other material on
1905 please send to me .
