8 The record about Georgia is connected with the events that took place in May 1920. On May 7, a peace treaty was concluded with Menshevik Georgia. At the same time, a popular uprising broke out there. A large number of telegrams were received by V.I. Lenin with messages about events and with requests for directives.

On June 26, Lenin received an Italian delegation that arrived at the II Congress of the Comintern.
During the conversation, he drew the attention of the representatives of the socialist party to the need to cut off the reformist wing, which was infecting the party with moods of passive waiting and capitulatory concessions to the bourgeoisie.
A.
V. Shotman, chairman of the Ural-Siberian Commission of the Council of Labor and Defense, was received together with the Cossack-Communist I.D.

APPENDICES

16 F. Lebovich — Hungarian communist.
17 J. Marchlewski — member of the Polish Bureau of the Central Committee of the RCP(b). The conversation was about Marchlewski's article "The Agrarian Question and the World Revolution."

During the conversation, Marchlewski informed Lenin of the extreme delay in the transfer from the People's Commissariat for Nationalities Affairs to the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the "liquidation commission for the affairs of the former Kingdom of Poland."
On the same day, Lenin wrote a letter to the Small Council of People's Commissars asking to expedite the resolution of this issue (see Full. coll. works, vol. 41, pp. 169—182; vol. 51, p. 227).
A. E. Abramovich — employee of the Comintern. He was probably at the reception regarding V. K. Vinnichenko's request to allow him to return to Ukraine, since he had broken ties with the Mensheviks and decided to stand on the platform of the Communist Party of Ukraine. This issue was discussed several times in the Central Committee of the RCP(b) and the Central Committee of the CP(b) of Ukraine (see V. I. Lenin. Full coll. works, vol. 51, pp. 190, 423—424).
V. N. Ksandrov — special representative of the Council of Labor and Defense in the Donbass.

D. Wijnkoop handed V. I. Lenin a letter expressing gratitude for the opportunity to familiarize himself with his book "Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder" before its publication in translation into Western European languages, and pointing out that there was an inaccuracy in the book. The views of the "leftists," Wijnkoop wrote, are shared only by some members of the Dutch Communist Party, against whom the party is waging an energetic struggle. After reviewing the letter, Lenin promised to make appropriate changes to the prepared English edition of the book (see Full. coll. works, vol. 41, pp. 103—104).

18 P. I. Popov — manager of the Central Statistical Administration; asked for an audience in connection with his departure to Ukraine.

Lenin, having received a note from the secretary with a request whether he would receive the German delegation and the Irish delegate to the II Congress of the Comintern P.

M. M. Gruzenberg — employee of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the RSFSR and the Executive Committee of the Comintern.
21 V. I. Lenin, having familiarized himself with the secretary M. I. Glaser's note about the time of reception of A. M. Heller and the German delegation, writes: "1) I will receive Heller today at 5 h. 50 m., 2) Germans of what kind? Communists? "Independents" all or leftists?".
