The Politburo of the RCP(b) deems it utterly inappropriate to publish Gorky’s articles in No. 12 of the Communist International, especially the leading article, for not only is there nothing communist about these articles, but they contain much that is anti‑communist. Henceforth, under no circumstances are such articles to be published in the Communist International.
