REMARKS ON THE DRAFT PLAN OF WORK OF THE C.C., R.C.P.(B.)

1.
[May 24, 1921]

The main task of the May
All-Russia Conference*
is to prepare and collect material on the question of
1) closer contact between Party organisations and the non-Party masses.
2) wider and more systematic enlistment of non-Party workers in the work.
3) reorganisation of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspection in the direction of combating bureaucracy and red tape, improving the conditions of the workers and peasants, and enlisting non-Party people in Soviet work.¹

On all these questions the conference must not only collect and study all the material of practical experience, but also work out practical proposals for the C.C.

Reports at the plenum** (a)
2—3 reports on the work of the C.C. and the Party at the present time (actual)
(b) also on the plan for reorganising it in accordance with the new tasks.²

* The last paragraph was crossed out twice by Lenin and adopted in a different wording. Ed.
** Under the crossed-out word “political” someone has written “Soviet?”. Ed.

LENIN MISCELLANY

¹ The draft plan of work of the C.C., R.C.P.(B.) was drawn up by V. M. Molotov, dated May 24, 1921. Lenin’s remarks are dated the same day.
² Lenin has in mind the All-Russia conference of Party workers from the largest local organisations, scheduled for May but not held, to discuss the immediate tasks of the Party’s organisational work, in particular, the promotion of new forces from the Party ranks and the enlistment of non-Party people in Soviet, trade union and other work. Its convocation was provided for in point VI of V. M. Molotov’s plan.
³ Lenin’s remark about reports at the C.C. plenum was prompted by the seventh point of Comrade Molotov’s plan, in which Lenin specially underlined in pencil the place concerning questions to be submitted to the next plenum of the C.C., R.C.P.(B.).
* This point was crossed out by Lenin with three vertical lines. Ed.
* From these words to the end, the note was made later in pencil. Ed.
