As for the publication of a special, popular newspaper for the peo-

rejecting this plan in principle, considers its immediate implementation untimely *).
*) Vladimir Ilyich did not submit this resolution to the congress. In the debates on Martov's resolution on this issue, Vladimir Ilyich introduced an
amendment to it, proposing to remove from point 1 (regarding the content of the Central Organ) the words: "excluding articles of a purely theoretical nature." Lenin's amendment was rejected by the congress

*) In the lower left free corner of the manuscript across
the page (from bottom to top) the beginning of notes for a report on the activity of the "Iskra" organization is sketched in pencil (above, p. 68), and at the bottom of the text of this draft resolution in a direction parallel to the text the words are written in pencil
as well: "Work on
Iskra + : {[Zarya] through
Russia", representing a continuation of the notes.

The document printed below is an unfinished draft of Lenin's resolution on the place of the Bund in the party. Vladimir Ilyich, apparently, after acquainting himself with the Martov draft, abandoned his project and therefore did not finish it. At
the congress, Vladimir Ilyich voted for Martov's resolution, which, of course, was previously согласована. Judging by

book together with Vladimir Ilyich's congress «Diary», precedes the beginning of the «Diary» entry and is crossed out by the author, — apparent, because he began to write his
«Diary» here, — there is reason to think that this draft reso-
lution was written before the opening of the congress, i.e. earlier than July 30

the successful struggle against anti-Semitism, this vile inflaming of
racial distinctiveness and national hostility, produced
by the government and [ruling]] exploiting classes; — that the full fusion of Social-Democratic organizations of the Jewish] and non-Jewish proletariat in no way and in nothing can
limit [the freedom] of independence of our Jewish comrades

in [discussing and] publishing corresponding needs of a given
