To:   N. V. KUZNETSOV

Dear Friend, I shall not be in Paris any more. The plan for publishing a lecture on
the national question—nothing doing.

I repeat: not a kopek for anything except the bulletins of the
C.C. They are to be done at Riskin’s printing shop ( not
Stepan’s). He is to be told to observe the strictest secrecy. You yourself or Inessa— but not Antonov —should get back all the
MSS. and all the proof-sheets.

Tomorrow I am sending material for the bulletin. Format =sheet of
9.I.1914. Four such pages, Type—large for propaganda material
(page 1); small for pages 2 and 3 .

Do the job neatly , not à la Antonov and without
Antonov. It is ridiculous and shameful to handle practical affairs
through that daydreamer. What is needed is a committee of
practical men and not a daydreamer (he is a nice, charming man, but
a preposterous dreamer).

All the rest of the literature (the C.O., Programme, Rules,
Kamenev s pamphlet, the London minutes, [1] etc., all ) send without delay to Leipzig. Herrn
Koiransky. Sophienstraßk: 30 I rechts. Leipzig. (Indicate expéditeur.) Notify me immediately what has been sent and when , at the address: Mr. Wladimir
Oulianoff. Rue Souveraine. 18. Bruxelles (Ixelles).

All the best, Yours,

V. Lenin
