V. I. Lenin

Comrade Zinoviev, Ihave read the rough draft of the theses and have no objections.

Theparagraph on the history of Bolshevism should be amplified and
partly modified. It is incorrect to say there was a split only in 1910. It
should be stated that the formal splits with the Mensheviks in the spring
of 1905 and in January 1912 alternated with the semi-unity and unity of
1906 and 1907 followed by that of 1910 not only because of the vicissitudes
of the struggle but also under pressure from the rank and file, who
demanded check tests through their own experience.

Ithink this should be stated more explicitly and concretely on one page. {1}
