On the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Revolutionary Activity of G. V. Plekhanov

The Editorial Board of Iskra joins whole-heartedly in celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the revolutionary activity
of G. V. Plekhanov. May this celebration serve to strengthen the
positions of revolutionary Marxism, which alone can guide the world
struggle of the proletariat for emancipation and resist the attacks of
eternally old opportunism that is recurrently making its noisy
appearance in new guises. May this celebration serve to strengthen the
bonds between the thousands of young Russian Social- Democrats who are
devoting all their efforts to difficult practical work and the
Emancipation of Labour group, which is providing the movement with what
it stands so much in need of—a tremendous reserve of theoretical
knowledge, wide political horizons, and rich revolutionary experience.

Longlive Russian revolutionary Social-Democracy! Long live
international Social-Democracy!
