PLAN OF THE ARTICLE “AN EXAMPLE FROM PETROGRAD
OF WORKERS” TO
[October 3, 1919]
The Petrograd Example
Its Significance:
“The Kursk Victories”
They terrify the enemy—never again!
Do not alter the plan; do not touch [the] ranks—(Veshenskaya, to the [party]!||j! for [mobilization]),
do not
succumb to panic; <to the center of the [party]> |!; deploy [all] available forces.
(The comrades must) mobilize with ultra‑fierce energy,
for the danger is immense—there has never been such a peril before.
Proletarian Initiative
The Example of Petrograd
The Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
The deserter “wavered.”
Through the Organizational Bureau, No. 2.
1 See Works, vol. XXIV, pp. 473–474.
2 This idea is not reflected in the article. Lenin clearly has in mind
the forthcoming mobilization of Party workers to the Southern Front, to be carried out via the Organizational Bureau of the Central Committee of the RCP(b).
