To:   K. B. RADEK

Comrade Radek:

I thank you very much for the material you have sent me. I return it. I cannot express my opinion, because I am
not clear on the matter: I cannot form an opinion after
reading the very little that you have marked off.

By the way, if you see Gennari, thank him for his letter to the “Comrades members of the Executive Committee
of the Communist International” of 18/IX.1921.

It is clear, precise and fully convincing.

Serrati is a blend of petty-bourgeois spinelessness and
politicaster swindling. I am quite prepared to repeat this in
the press if Gennari and other comrades—you and Zinoviev
among them, of course—consider it useful. In that case, let
Gennari send me the original of Serrati’s article in Avanti! ,
and I shall write him a 20–line letter for the press. But it
is hardly worth while to do this.

Yours,

Lenin
