To:   THE EDITORS OF ZA PRAVDU [1]

Dear Colleagues, I have just read No. 8 and cannot help expressing my surprise at your
publishing such an article as “A Meeting of
Marxists”, [2] etc.!! To my mind this was extremely unwise, and if the
author, for obvious reasons, was “carried away”, you, on the spot, should
have realised the impossibility of printing this article. For God’s sake
avoid such carelessness: in this way you are giving the very devil
of assistance to all our enemies.

It is necessary to reprint (gradually) from No. 8 the articles
of Petrovsky and of the former conciliator. [3]

Best regards,
V.I.

I earnestly request you to change my address: I have written and asked,
but it doesn’t help!!
