AMENDMENTS AND A NOTE TO V. SEVERTSEV’S ARTICLE “THE ZEMSKY SOBOR AND OUR TACTICS”.
No. 10 of “VPERYOD”, March 18 (2), 1908¹.
..The blow seemed [so terrible] so terrible...
. .it is important for us to clarify [the role] the significance of the Zemsky Sobor.
. [The impossibility of avoiding the expression of the real mood of the country and the possibility of postponing some unpleasant fact are perfectly understood by our government and] AND SO NOW, when the growth of new social forces, apart from the timid middle classes, is clear to everyone, the government wants to make every effort to remove dangerous elements (workers and peasants) from representation...
From the Ed[itorial Board]. Comrade V. S.’s article was written before the rescript of February 18 [to Bulygin], promising the convocation of elected representatives from the population. That the government wants to get off with this empty promise and leave everything as before is clear to everyone. But the more zealously the grovelling press compares the tsar’s empty promises with the Zemsky Sobor, the more important it is for us to insist strictly on the old revolutionary tactics, which Comrade V. S. correctly recalls.²
