V. I.

Lenin

Speech at a Meeting of Communists and Candidate Members of the R.C.P.(B.) of the Kremlin Area. May 9, 1921 (From The Minutes)

Comrade Lenin said in his report: You, as members of the
Party, should read my pamphlet concerning the tax in kind, [1] which has now come off the press and is being distributed. He also pointed out that every member of the Party should not
lose touch with the non-Party masses, as often happens with us. Each one of
us, therefore, must keep closer to the non-Party masses and carry on more
propaganda. In conclusion he said: All of you, who often read the
newspapers and attend meetings and lectures, being more developed people,
should do more work among the peasants, carry on agitation among them to
explain the significance of the tax in kind. We shall then achieve better
results.
