Dear Georgi, I don’t know anything about the conference. [3] Decide for yourselves.

N. K.’s treatment is dragging out, and I shall be staying
here another fortnight , or maybe longer. I don’t know exactly.

The Ukrainian’s article is very good. [4] The main thing
is that he is a centralist. This is so rare and so valuable
in our rotten times that you and
Yuri [5] must without fail get to know him closer , get to know the man.

The article requires not so much corrections of style (that’s nothing) as explanations by the author . He must
write one more article. I am writing about this on the next
page [1]

;

you and Yuri read it, and decide for yourselves whether to let the Ukrainian read it, or whether it is better
for you to tell him what it says.

Beste Grüsse , [2]

N. Lenin
