The Congress recognizes it necessary to establish precisely the indisputably proven facts regarding the conduct of the Mensheviks or Novoiskovtsy after the Second Party Congress. Without even attempting to dispute the legitimacy of the decisions and elections of this Congress, they shamelessly tore up the Congress's decisions. Immediately after the Congress they boycotted the central institutions created by it and secretly formed a special organization within the Party apart from it. This organization pursued the goal of forcibly introducing six candidates rejected by the Congress into the editorial board of the Central Organ and into the Central Committee of the Party. In the struggle for this goal, which contradicted the will and interests of the Party, the Mensheviks disorganized the positive work of the Party everywhere, introducing secret schism everywhere, demoralizing comradely relations among social-democrats, transforming the Central Organ of the Party into an organ of gossip and intrigue, permitting themselves vulgar and abusive outbursts against the committees of the Party that had elected the central institutions and demanded accountability from them, reducing the Council of the Party to an instrument of factional vengeance, not stopping short of outright falsification of the voice of the Party, which demanded a Third Congress.

The Congress condemns this disorganizational conduct in the most decisive manner and warns all conscious social-democrats against the notorious theory of organization-as-process, which justified disorganization and debased revolutionary Marxist theory to an unprecedented degree.

The Congress recognizes that the supporters of the Party majority, in drawing up resolutions against the disorganizers and demanding the Third Congress, exhausted all means of honest comradely struggle against Party members. Now that the centers created by the Party have finally evaded responsibility to the Party, the Congress is compelled to recognize them as standing outside the Party. The Congress establishes that for the supporters of Party unity there is no other way out than work separately and independently from the disorganizers. The Congress therefore decrees that supporters of the minority or Novoiskovtsy may not be accepted into any of the organizations of our Party.

The Congress entrusts the Central Committee of the Party with issuing a brief pamphlet clarifying this resolution, for the information of all Russian and international social-democracy.
