Dear Comrade,
Your article “What Are We To Do?” is unsuitable
for publication. You are creating a non-existent disagreement. We
have so many serious disagreements that we must beware of multiplying
them still further. Who and where has spoken specifically about
dispersing by force? I think no one. This was only admitted as an
inevitable result against our will.
We called for going to meetings, even penetrating by force, in order to preach
our slogans. I admit that sometimes there were awkward expressions,
but to pick on them would mean repeating the nasty tactics
of the new Iskra. You, of course, have no desire to pick on them, that is
beyond doubt. But you do not prove by anything the existence of “tactlessness”.
And to say “the whole tactics must be expressed in the word
tact” and the like—that, you know, is quite.... “not the thing”.
With comradely greetings, N. Lenin.
