ч3) Refers to an article by Martov, published in the organ of the Austrian Social Democrats "Arbeiter Zeitung" ("Workers' Gazette"), in No. 233
of August 24 (11), 1905. "Das russische Proletariat und die Duma" ("The Russian Proletariat and the Duma").
4) Article — ss — "To Go or Not to Go to the State Duma" in
"Liberation" АЗ 75, of August 19 (6), 1905. Speaking against
the boycott of the Bulygin Duma, — ss — indicated that for the radical group
of the congress of the Union of Unions, the center of gravity lay in the demand for a change in the electoral system, for the moderate group of the bourgeoisie — in expanding the rights
of the Duma. — ss — (middle letters of the word professor). Under such a pseudonym
P. N. Milyukov collaborated in "Liberation."
5) In the article "What Our Liberal Bourgeois Want and Fear,"
Lenin quotes from an article by historian Pavel Vinogradov in АЗ 210
"Russian Gazette" of August 18 (5), 1905. "Political Letters":
"I do not know whether Russia will still succeed in passing to a new system by a road,
close to the path taken by Germany in 1848, but I have no doubt that every effort must be made to get onto this road,
and not on the path chosen by France in 1789." (Works, vol. VIII, p. 189).
6) Verlrauensduseln — slobbery gullibility.
7) Lenin, quoting Martov's reference to the alleged dominance of rev. self-government in two governorates in the Caucasus, writes: "Is it not naive to forget that in the Caucasus (not in two governorates, but in several volosts)
self-government is based on armed uprising?
Is it not childish to think that what is possible in several villages in the mountainous areas of the distant
outskirts is possible in the center of Russia without the victory of the people over the autocracy?" (Works, vol. VIII, p. 177).

"Troika" — three slogans: 1) armed uprising, 2) revolutionary army, 3) temporary revolutionary government.
и) The article by Dan "Our Tactics and the State Duma" ("Iskra"
L* 108, of August 26 (13), 1905) has the following passages:
"Now that we are no longer talking about training maneuvers, but about a real battle, the policy
of folded arms will, of course, find even fewer adherents"...
..."More and more comrades... irrevocably reject the political absenteeism, forcibly imposed on the party by some "leaders", obviously with the aim of bringing to the altar of the beloved
"temporary government" all their quasi-socialist virginity at once."
12) The article states: "Proletary" considers it absolutely unacceptable to obscure or even postpone the slogan of the uprising with the slogan
of organizing revolutionary self-government."
13) This refers to the unsigned editorial "Revolutionary Self-Government of Citizens" in the popular organ "Social-
Democrat" (No. 12, of August 31 (18), 1905) published by the Mensheviks.
14) Miserable — that is miserable.
15) In "Proletary" No. 14, of August 29 (16), in the section "From Public Life" is a resolution of the congress of delegates of the Union of Unions,
calling for an active boycott. Clause 2 of this resolution says:
"To consider it unacceptable for members of the Union of Unions to either promote anyone
to the projected State Duma or to personally participate in it." Clause three: "...to appear at electoral assemblies of all levels and agitate
there in favor of the electors' refusal to participate in the elections."
16) From Cherevanin's letter in F. Dan's article "Our Tactics and the State Duma." ("Iskra" No. 108, of August 26 (13), 1905). Criticizing
supporters of the boycott, Cherevanin states: "Thus [i.e., with the boycott of the Duma. Ed.]
the possibility of making the State
Duma an instrument of the democratic revolution is excluded." (See about this Works, vol. VIII,
pp. 170—171).
