V. I. LENIN — TO V. M. KASPAROV
IN BERLIN.
[Second half of July 1914. Poronin. |
Dear Comrade,
I do not have *Vorwärts*, and yet there are now important things in it (judging by excerpts from other socialist newspapers)—for example, reviews (and correspondence) about the working-class movement in St. Petersburg, about the demonstrations, etc.¹
We need them extremely (both for the Central Organ and for other work).
Could you compile (and keep compiling) a set of clippings from *Vorwärts* on these questions (indicating the dates of the newspaper) and send them to us?
If you can, I will send money for expenses (drop me a line how much). If you are busy or generally cannot, let me know.
I hope you are following *Vorwärts*? Was there a translation of Plekhanov’s article from *Za Partiyu* there?²
You would oblige me greatly if you also collected clippings from the bourgeois newspapers about the present stormy events in St. Petersburg.
Hasten!
Awaiting reply,
Yours,
Lenin

¹ In *Vorwärts*, Nos. 193, 195, 197, 198, 199, 201, 204 for July 1914, notes and correspondence were published on events in Russia—on strikes in St. Petersburg, Baku, Odessa, Riga, Moscow, Nikolayev, and others. Almost the entire first page, including the leading article, of No. 199 of July 24, 1914, was devoted to events in Russia.
² This refers to G. Plekhanov’s article “The New Upsurge,” published in No. 5 of *Za Partiyu* (see Lenin, *Works*, Vol. XVII, Note 115, p. 729). In *Vorwärts*, No. 59, of March 1, 1914, a translation of the first part of this article was published.
