V. I. Lenin

Statement of Fact Concerning the Commission of the Newspaper Vperyod at a Meeting of the St. Petersburg R.S.D.L.P. (B.) Committee

May 30 (June 12), 1917

Concerning Comrade Tomsky’s reference to the workers press
commission and its complete failure, I state that this reference is
factually incorrect and that the mission of the newspaper
Vperyod {1} (headed by A. A. Bogdanov and others) was undoubtedly useful.
