LETTER TO A. II. LYUBIMOV.
Comrade Mark.
April 10, 1910. [Paris.]
Dear Comrade! Yesterday’s meeting has finally convinced us of what we had scarcely doubted even before it—namely, that you have absolutely no grasp of the Bolshevik current, despite your pretensions to represent it within the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party.
Basing our judgment on every reason to regard ourselves as representatives of the Bolshevik current—on the letters we have received from Russian comrades-in-arms, and on the political developments among Bolsheviks abroad—we declare that your vacillations in policy, your willingness to tolerate the presence within the Central Committee of a liquidator and conspirator against the Party, Igor, your tendency to cover up his sabotage of the Party’s unity (instead of exposing Igor, demanding his immediate and unconditional removal from the Central Committee, and resolutely taking up the fight against the liquidators while steadfastly defending the alliance between the Bolsheviks and the Party’s core members—a union which alone might still, perhaps, salvage the cause of Party unity)—all of this behavior of yours leaves us in no doubt that, whether consciously or not, you have become a mere pawn in the hands of the liquidators.
We reserve the right to bring our position to the attention of the Bolsheviks—and, if necessary, to the entire Party and to the press at large.

B.
Gorev–Goldman, a member of the Central Bureau of the Bolshevik Party, expressed himself as follows:
On March 16, 1910,
the Central Bureau of the Bolshevik Party
* The letter, aside from Lenin, was signed by Zinoviev (“Grigory”). Ed.

issued, in the form of a separate leaflet, the “Letter to All Comrades Abroad,” calling upon all overseas social‑democratic organizations to submit to the resolutions of the January Plenum of the Central Committee and to adopt the most energetic measures to eliminate the organizational split—and urging all factions to follow the example of the Bolsheviks and to dissolve their factional organs. B. Gorev–Goldman, together with the representative of the Bund, voted against the adoption of this letter within the Central Bureau of the Bolshevik Party. This fact was immediately published by the editorial staff of “The Voice of the Social Democrat” in their “Letter to Comrades” (see Documents and Materials for the Collected Works of Lenin, Volume XIV, p. 476).
