In January 1912, an All-Russian conference of the RSDLP took place, composed of delegates from the following organizations: Petersburg, Moscow, Moscow District, Kazan, Saratov, Tiflis, Baku, Nikolaev, Kiev, Ekaterinoslav, Vilna, and Dvina. This conference restored the party, elected a new Central Committee to replace the one destroyed by the liquidators, and the conference was forced to declare these liquidators as standing outside the party (see the pamphlet: "Anonymous from 'Vorwärts' and the Situation in the RSDLP," which was sent to the Board; in it mention was made of the protests of the liquidators, national organizations: the Poles, Latvians, the Bund, and foreign groups).

In January there also took place a meeting with the aim of creating an Organizational Committee for convening a new conference—a "general party conference," as the liquidators and their friends called it.

In a letter to the Board from June 24, the Latvians assert that this "Organizational Committee" is composed of the following organizations and tendencies: the Bund, Latvian Social Democrats, the Caucasian Regional Committee, the Menshevik "Voice of the Social Democrat," the Vienna "Pravda," and the "Forward" group.

Thus, on one side stands the Central Committee of the RSDLP, which was elected at the conference by the Russians, that is, by organizations working in Russia (opponents call it the Leninist tendency); on the other side stands the so-called Organizational Committee, which promises to convene a "universal" party conference.
