Here is my feedback, dear L. Please bear in mind that I did not have ample time to ponder the formulation at length (since Yu. is demanding the manuscripts from me without delay) and that I have only sketched out the general spirit in which I would like to see these changes implemented. It is essential that the impact be more profound*: I would then advocate for the issuance of the verdict in a special leaflet, complete with a card and a foreword by Iskra on the necessity of conducting a systematic struggle against provocateurs and spies—on the establishment of vigilante squads tasked with exposing them, keeping watch over them, subjecting them to relentless harassment, and the like.

Should the “fighter”** attempt to wiggle out of it, strive to compel him to record a dissenting opinion in the official minutes—or some similar measure—so that a lasting mark may remain of his tail‑wagging antics.

Sending you a firm handshake. Yours, Lenin
