Notes:
[1]
Lenin was elected to the Tenth Congress of the R.C.P. as a voting
delegate by the Fourteenth Petrograd Gubernia Party Conference from the
supporters of the “Platform of the Ten”. The delegation was unable to
attend the congress in its elected form owing to the critical situation in
the city and the counter-revolutionary mutiny at Kronstadt which had just
started. Apparently it was in the absence of minutes recording the election
of the Petrograd delegation that Lenin wrote in the questionnaire that he
had a debating voice. Nevertheless he took p art in the voting of all the
resolutions and figured in the list of delegates to the Tenth Party
Congress as a voting delegate (see Tenth Congress of the R.C.P.(B.), March 8-16, 1921. Verbatim Report . Moscow, 1963, p. 729).
