A Note on the Resolution of the Estonian Social-Democrats [1]

Our correspondent has also sent us the Rules of the League of the Estonian Area of the R.S.D.L.P. , adopted at the conference. We are unable to print
them owing to lack of space.

We call our readers’ attention to the resolution on the Duma. It is quite
obvious that the resolution of the Mensheviks, published in Russkaya Zhizn , No. 47, served as the basis for it; the influence exerted by the
Mensheviks M. and A. was confined to this. The Estonian
Social-Democrats have recast all the militant parts of the
resolution in a fine Bolshevik spirit (especially the part about the Cadets and the
“responsible ministry”). An excellent example of “amendments” to Menshevik resolutions!
