V. I. LENIN — TO KARL RADEK
[Translation.]

Dear Radek,
The letter to Weincke has been sent.
Gregory also has the report together with your letter.
You probably do not have a copy of our statement (that we are dissatisfied with the manifesto, that it does not go far enough, etc.)? We handed it over to the bureau, and Grimm read it out. We absolutely need a copy of this statement. Will Grimm allow you to make this copy? If not, this is simply a scandal!!! 1

P.S. And Grimm's "conspiracy"! The whole world already knows everything! And those stupid Italians in *Avanti*! Shame and disgrace! 2

Yours, Lenin.

1 This refers to the statement in which the Zimmerwald Left motivated its vote for the official manifesto.
2 Issue No. 260 of *Avanti* (Forward) of September 19, 1915, published under the title "II Convogno Internationale di Zimmervald" ("The International Conference at Zimmerwald") a report on the Zimmerwald Conference. This report gave all the details of the organisation of the conference and contained a number of photographs of the house in which the Zimmerwald Conference was held.
