It turns out to be an absurdity: we agree to give the party both money and the Rabochaya] Gizeta* and all our strength conditionally. — What is the condition? In prshch[sh1ialyuioi] line and in reform. — Who carries out the one and the other? Central Committee — And who guarantees the implementation of this in the Central Committee? — A random ultimatum from enemies of Social Democracy (like liquidators from the Bundist intelligentsia)!!
An agreement that the Central Committee will do what it cannot do within the eight.
That's the bottom line.
This outcome repeats the error of the plenum:3 good wishes, affectionate words, good thoughts — and impotence in implementing them. Empty rhetoric against liquidators in words and captivity by liquidators in deed.
You, practitioners, will have to implement the "agreement"—You yourself introduced the point about the eight. My duty — upon careful consideration of the agreement — is to warn you: the liquidators will dupe you again!
(It is very easy to "call oneself" a Plekhanovite (Adrianov4 or his minions will probably call themselves the devil and the demon in order to obtain a concession: names are words, but a concession is a deed).
In fact, you will get in the form of the eight an impotent institution, captured by liquidators. That is the danger that I consider it my duty to especially warn you about.
If you, as practitioners, undertake to implement such a Central Committee (or: such an eight) that will be able to condemn both the Golosites and the Forwardists, and also carry out reforms — it is your business. Wholeheartedly wishing agreement and peace with You, I am obliged to help VakhM in the implementation of Your plan.
But to help does not mean to lull with the charm of red vysmyslov. "To help means to point out the real dangers, which one must be able to avoid.
The plenum of 1.10 has tod stalled the practical work of the centers, capturing them, surrendering them into captivity to the liquidators. In the spring of 1910, Inok 5 failed to break free from captivity. At the beginning of 1911 This will not succeed for you either, if You do not take extraordinary measures to implement the agreement.
Handshake and greetings!
N. Lenin.

1 This refers to the "Points of Agreement" between the Polish Social Democrats on the one hand and the Bolshevik-Conciliators and Leninists on the other, adopted on February 11, 1911, in Paris, on the issue of the composition and immediate tasks of the central institutions of the party, in particular on the 2nd point of the agreement, which read:
"The Central Committee is created with the following composition: 4 Bolsheviks + 1 p.
s. d. + 2 Plekhanovites (variant: nlekhanovets + 1 Golosovite) + 1 Bundist -f 1 Latvian." Further, there is a stipulation, which Lenin criticizes as nullifying the entire content of the first part of the point: "Only after a formal statement by the Latvian and Bundist on behalf of their organizations that they will withdraw from the Central Committee in such a composition, — ours demand, as a minimum, imperatively: 3 Bolsheviks + 1 p. s. d. + 1 Golosovite + 1 Plekhanovite + 1 Latvian + 1 Bundist" (arch. I. L. "No. 29536). L. Tyshko, A. Rykov, G. Zinoviev and others participated in the signing of the agreement.

The editorial board of Rabochaya Gazeta included: V. I. Lenin, G. E. Zinoviev and L. B. Kamenev. In addition to the Bolsheviks, Menshevik party members also collaborated in the newspaper: G. V. Plekhanov, X. Rappoport and others (see Works, vol. XV, p. 622, note 62).
3 The so-called "unification" plenum of the Central Committee of the RSDLP met in Paris from January 15 to February 5, 1910 (see Works, vol. XIV, p. 533, note 139).
