The Moscow Zubatovist Workers’ Society has a branch in St. Petersburg with the
same Rules (workers of machine industry) and partly even with the same
membership, that is, with those who previously worked in the St. Petersburg
Zubatovist Society (Ushakov, Starozhilov and Gorshkov, Pikunov and Mokhnatkin,
Nikiforov, and others). This Society is sponsored by Litvinov-Fallinsky, Chizhov
and Langovoi. It is strongly recommended that extreme caution be
exercised in contacts with this Society owing to the huge risk of
agent provocateurs . The Society has now gone a bit left, but is
completely at the service of the bourgeoisie and the police.
