The Sixth (Prague) All-Russia Conference of the R.S.D.L.P.

JANUARY 5–17 (18–30), 1912

THE CHINESE REVOLUTION

In view of the campaign of propaganda conducted by the government and
liberal newspapers ( Rech ) in favour of taking advantage of the
revolutionary movement in China in order to annex, in the interests of
Russian capitalists, the Chinese provinces bordering on Russia, the
Conference recognises the world-wide importance of the revolutionary
struggle of the Chinese people, which is bringing emancipation to Asia and
is undermining the rule of the European bourgeoisie. The Conference hails
the revolutionary republicans of China, testifies to the profound
enthusiasm and complete sympathy with which the proletariat of Russia is
following the successes of the revolutionary people of China, and condemns
the behaviour of the Russian liberals who are supporting tsarism’s policy
of conquest.
