To:   G. Y. ZINOVIEV

We have written to Bukharin.

I am sending you an article; it should go to Berne too, as Paris is
silent.

We must calculate more exactly (you have both the MSS. and proofs)
how much there is for Berne.

Naturally, I can’t be “pleased” with your keeping my articles so long
in pickle. Send them immediately to the printing shop: you hurried me with
them, saying the compositor was hurrying you!!

And where are our theses? [1]

Where are the proofs of them?

The question of Sotsial-Demokrat is a difficult one, as I am afraid this will hold up Sbornik Sotsial-Demokrata !!

When you have returned “Disarmament” [2]

I shall think it over finally. We shall weigh more carefully what
can go in there, how long it will hold up Sbornik .

I am not writing anything so far for
Voprosy . [3]

But for

the collection ( Pod Starym Znamenem ) I want to write about
Kautskyism [4] (incidentally, return the pamphlet on imperialism as soon as possible : I need it for quoting).

Salut!
Lenin

P.S. On business matters you answer much less.
