V. I.

Lenin

Dear Comrade, If you happen to be in Jena, be sure to make the
acquaintance of our representative (send him a letter postlagernd
Herrn Bekzadian, Jena —if you do not manage to meet him
otherwise). [1] Have a talk with him about all our affairs. He should be given the facts against
Tyszka. [2]

Greetings, Yours, Lenin

Acquaint him with Pannekoek, Mehring and others of the Left, if he does not get to know them himself. Drop
me a line whether you are going to Jena (when you have quite decided on this).

Absender: Ulianow. Poronin.

Notes:
[1]
A. Bekzadian was the R.S.D.L.P. representative at the German
Social-Democratic Party Congress held in Jena from September
14 to 20, 1913.

[2]
The Bolsheviks wanted to take the opportunity of the German
Social-Democratic Party Congress in Jena so as to settle the affair
of the trustees’ money. The affair dragged on, because L. Tyszka
and Rosa Luxemburg, who sympathised with the conciliators,
used their influence with the trustees—Clara Zetkin, K. Kautsky
and F. Mehring—to prevent the return of the money to the
Bolsheviks.
