1 Here the reference is to the «deductions (theses)», formulated by Lenin at
the end of his article «On the Provisional Revolutionary Government» in No. 3
of «Proletary» of June 9 (May 27), 1905 (Works, Vol. VII, pp. 328—329).
2 No. 97 of «Iskra» is erroneously indicated instead of No. 96 of 18(5) April, where

*** At the top of the manuscript Lenin wrote: all Feuilleton: 48 x 6 = 288
«(Zceilon) [lines. Ed.] to 60 = 17 280 that's all. Theses (deductions) JMS 1 — 5». Ed.

Plekhanov’s article «On the Question of the Seizure of Power» was published (see
Works of G. V. Plekhanov, Vol. XIII).
3 Here is meant the letter of Engels to Turati written in 1894, which Plekhanov referred to in his polemic with Lenin. In the article
«On the Provisional Revolutionary Government» (Works, VII, p. 322) Lenin wrote: « . . . unfortunately, Plekhanov does not provide the letter in its entirety». This
same, probably, was meant in the brief note «1894. Omissions».
4 Here is meant the article by A. Martynov «In the Struggle against the Marxist
Conscience» in No. 103 of «Iskra» of July 4 (June 21), 1905.
