To:   THE EDITORS OF SEVERNAYA PRAVDA [2]

Dear Colleagues, Yesterday I sent to Prosveshcheniye a long article “How Vera
Zasulich Demolishes
Liquidationism”. [1]

If Severnaya Pravda is still coming out I suggest publishing this
article in six feuilletons, one section per feuilleton, the manuscript,
however, to be preserved and returned immediately to
Prosveshcheniye .

I repeat, I cannot work without seeing the newspapers. A thousand
requests—and still you do not send either Rabochaya Pravda [3] and Zhivaya Zhizn [4] (sets), or Severnaya Pravda and Novaya Rabochaya Gazeta . [5] This used to be done before.

Why publish daily, I don’t understand. I advise changing over to a
weekly issue. What is the daily loss? What is the circulation?

Greetings and best wishes!

Yours,

Lenin

The promised and long-earned fee from Pravda has not been received! This is becoming insulting!!
