V. I.

Lenin

1902

February 18, 1902

Dear L. I., In reply to your letter, I hasten to tell you that the
articles by Struve and Bulgakov appeared in the May 1897
issue of Novoye Slovo (No. 8, according to their special
numbering). [1]

We are very glad that you will be finishing the article
soon—please send the articles of Struve and Bulgakov along with it.

Have you made any use of the articles by Vl. Chernov in the latest issues of Russkoye Bogatstvo on the subjective
method, Berdayev, etc.? What a good thing it would be to devote even a few lines to giving this chatterbox
a dressing down! In No. 2 (February) of Sozialistische Monatshefte [2] someone called Lozinsky also tries to bury
materialism and extols Berdayev.

We hear from Vologda (where Berdayev and Bogdanov are doing time) that the exiles there engage in earnest
discussions of philosophy, and that Berdayev, as the one
who knows most about it, appears to be “winning”.

Every good wish, Yours....
