* DRAFT AGENDA FOR THE CONGRESS.
[April 26 (13), 1905]
The draft agenda was discussed at the third session of the Congress
on April 26 (45). (Congress Minutes, pp. 76–85.)
The “Draft Agenda,” formulated by Lenin (document no.”)
and adopted by the group of delegates who signed the document
(see the right-hand side of document “ST”), was read out at the Congress—with minor editorial revisions—as “the draft signed
by Messrs. Maksimov, Lenin, and Kuznetsov.” (Congress Minutes,
pp. 76–77.) The key differences between this final draft and the version announced at the Congress are as follows: the designations A, B, C, and D have been replaced with the numerals I, II, III, and IV. In Section A, the phrase “Tactical Questions” has been amended to read “Questions of a Tactical Nature.”
Item
5.
Instead of the words “# the very moment of it,” the text reads—“# the very moment for revolutionary upheaval.”
Item 4. In place of the words “support for the peasant movement”—
“attitude toward the peasant movement.” Item 6, which had been struck out by Lenin, was reinstated, along with the deleted numbering of items 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 42. In the manuscript, Item G was titled:
“Internal Party Work”—in the minutes, however, it appears as “Internal Party Affairs.” In item 42, the order of the terms “propaganda” and “agitation” was reversed. Item 45. “May First”—completely absent from the minutes, though it had also been struck out in Vladimir Ilyich’s draft; consequently, the numbering of the two final items diverges from that of the manuscript:
instead of item 42 comes item 45, and instead of item 45 comes item 44.
The Congress first adopted six main sections of questions, which
entirely corresponded to the rubrics outlined
by Vladimir
Ilyich in the document “vm”; subsequently, the subdivisions within these main rubrics were adopted, differing from the draft announced
on the 3rd.

DRAFT AGENDA FOR THE CONGRESS
At the Congress, the following changes were made: item 2 was omitted; the second section was designated as III,
“Party Organization,” reworded as “Organizational Questions”; item 6, now item 7; the heading was revised to read: “Attitude
toward National Social-Democratic Organizations.” The title of the fourth section was revised to: “Internal Questions of Party Life,” and item 12, now item 10, was reworded as: “Propaganda
and Agitation.” “Delegates’ Reports” became the fifth section, comprising the following items:
all) Report of the Central Committee” and “12) Reports of Delegates from Local Committees.” For the final items included under Section IV, the following were revised:
“15) Elections, 14) Procedures for Announcing the Resolutions and Minutes of the Congress, and for the Inauguration of Officials in Their Posts.”
The document includes preliminary outlines of speakers assigned to address individual items on the agenda.
A comparison of document “v” with the Minutes of the Third Congress reveals the following:
