Dear Comrade Huysmans! For some time now, Muranov has been the treasurer of the Social-Democratic group in the Fourth Duma. He publishes in the St. Petersburg Social-Democratic newspapers reports on the sums received by the group. According to the newspapers, the Russian workers have been making collections “for the Belgian workers” since the beginning of the general strike in Belgium. 214 For instance, in Nos. 101, 102, 109 and 116 of the newspaper *Pravda* there are reports signed by Muranov, who received for the Belgian workers about 500 rubles collected by Russian workers in all parts of Russia. I have no doubt that the 800 + 700 francs which you received were collected by Russian workers for the Belgian workers. I shall write to Muranov, and if the purpose of these sums is different (which is very unlikely), I shall inform you.
