To:   G. Y. ZINOVIEV (1) We shall write to Grisha that he should offer the printer to
publish part (or an instalment) of Sbornik Sotsial-Demokrata . This would be sensible. We could select for it
articles passable by the censor (from the French point of view). I would
like you to write him about it too.

Are they preparing a collection of their own?

(2) No answer should be given to Radek’s question about the
cause of the
Bruch [1] with Bukharin and Lyalin. Must agree on it first. Have you a copy of the
C.O. Editorial Board’s letter (end of 1915 to Bukharin &
Co.)? [3]

To hide behind Yuri on the question of self-determination is downright
meanness.

(3) Letters from Russia (from the C.C. Bureau) say that Bukharin &
Co. are trying to establish their own contacts with the P.C. over
the head of the
Bureau. [4] Fine fellows, eh? They not only “inform” Radek, as you
write, but do worse things.

(4) A reply has come from Neue Zeit : freie
Exemplare [2] are forbidden. I shall subscribe for 1/4 year.

N.B. ||| (5) What subjects are you taking for the Russian edition?

(6) I am waiting for your reply as to exactly how much material there now is for Sbornik .

(7) How strange, Grisha and Varin writing about Kommunist and
not Sbornik !

(8) What is that article “Bruderorgan” in Berner Tagwacht .

Please send it!!

Salut, Lenin
