Draft Resolution on the Ukrainian Borotbist Party [1]

The Borotbists shall be qualified as a party, which, by its
propaganda aimed at splitting the military forces and supporting banditism,
is violating the basic principles of communism, thereby playing directly
into the hands of the Whites and of international imperialism.

Also opposed to the interests of the proletariat is their struggle
against the slogan calling for a close alliance with the R.S.F.S.R.

The whole policy must be systematically and steadily aimed at the
dissolution of the Borotbists in the near future. To this end, not a single
misdeed on the part of the Borotbists should be allowed to pass without
being immediately and strictly punished. In particular, information should
be collected concerning the non-proletarian and most disloyal nature of the
majority of their party members.

The moment for their dissolution shall be determined within a short
time by the Politbureau and communicated to the Ukrainian Revolutionary

Committee. [2]
