"Heart of Russia" —

1) Moscow Okhotny Ryad butchers beat students (1887) 14
2) "The Street" comes to students' aid (1901) 4
3) The street strike begins armed struggle 1905

Immediate uprising and protracted uprising. Strike and uprising. Stubborn struggle — guerrilla warfare. Its significance: lack of strength for open, direct armed struggle, for uprising in the narrow sense of the word. Preparation of forces. Revolutionary maneuvers. It teaches, educates the people's revolutionary army. It shakes the tsarist army. It gives us time to prepare (Bombs in Tiflis).

This is where revolutionary detachments belong. Cf. No. 14 of Iskra on armed demonstration, on how to remove chiefs etc. etc.

Now the type of the predominant [at the present] time form of revolutionary struggle in Russia is already taking shape: strike + scattered armed clashes, exhaustion of the enemy etc.

Question: 1) will the movement stop at this stage or 2) rise higher? Defection of the army? Cf. news about the Manchurian army. [Illegal mobilization of Cossacks].

(Ad 2) We know how the movement grew: 1885 — 1896 — 1901 — 1903 — 1905. We are obliged to indicate the higher stage even now. What could be the higher stage compared to 1905? What for 1906? Strike broader + uprising more united and armed.

Nothing else.

Armed uprising + revolutionary army + provisional revolutionary government.

If 1) — then the crux is in prolonging this struggle. And it à la longue will make the existence of tsarism impossible. "Permanent anarchy."
