The expanded editorial board of *Pravovtsa*, having examined the question of the school in NN, recognizes that the organization of this school by a group of initiators (including one of the members of the expanded editorial board of *Proletarii*, Comrade Maximov) proceeded from the very beginning outside the editorial board of *Proletarii* and was accompanied by agitation against it. The steps taken thus far by the group of initiators have already revealed with complete clarity that under the guise of this school a new center of a faction splitting away from the Bolsheviks is being created. The initiators of this school, apart from the general centers, have entered into relations with many Russian committees, have organized an independent fund and money collection, are organizing their own apparatus, without even informing either the editorial board of *Proletarii* or the general party center.

While recognizing that, given the present shortage of experienced party workers, a properly constituted and genuinely party school, even located abroad, could to a certain degree assist local organizations in developing suitable party workers from among the working class, and considering it necessary on its part to do everything that the position of our organization allows in order to render this assistance to local organizations – the expanded editorial board, on the basis of the entire course of action of the initiators of the school in NN, establishes that these initiators are pursuing not general fractional aims, that is, not the aims of the Bolshevik faction as an ideological current in the party, but their own particular, group ideological-political aims. The expanded editorial board of *Proletarii* establishes that in connection with the disagreements that have appeared in our faction on questions of recallism, ultimatism, the attitude toward the propaganda of god-building and in general on the intra-party tasks of the Bolsheviks, in connection with the fact that the initiators and organizers of the school in NN are exclusively representatives of recallism, ultimatism, and god-building – the ideological-political physiognomy of this new center is determined with complete clarity.

In view of all this, the expanded editorial board of *Proletarii* declares that the Bolshevik faction cannot bear any responsibility for this school.
