Things here have gone wrong. One has already gone over to the conciliationists, so that now there is no majority and everything will turn out in the spirit of rotten conciliationism.

I am leaving here on Tuesday or next Wednesday and will be in Cracow quickly (only a lecture in Leipzig).

They write from there that things are bad with *Pravda* – no money. Circulation is smaller. Deficit.

Just a disaster.

My new address: Oulianoff, rue Souveraine, 18.
(Ixelles) Bruxelles.

From the enclosed letter to Nik. Vas. you will find the answer to your question as to whether I am angry because of the failure of the lecture. Of course I’m angry! That idiot Antonov!! And the inability to arrange practical matters without him.

I received the express and gave everything to Malinovsky. He is here and will stay another 2–3 days.

Save every kopeck in the C.Z.O. and don’t let Antonov engage in project-mongering.

I warmly, warmly, warmly shake your hand, my dear friend. Forgive the haste and brevity.

No time.

Your V. U.

The bulletin – is the most important thing. I implore you to look after it and see to it yourself or arrange it without Antonov.
