Dear Comrades!
With great pleasure I have read your draft theses on the organizational question. In my opinion, the work is very successful.
I would propose only two additions:
1) advice — to form control
commissions in all parties from the best, tried and tested, experienced
workers 2;
2) on spies — a special paragraph in connection with the
question of illegal work. The content is approximately as follows: the bourgeoisie will inevitably send spies and provocateurs into illegal
organizations. Against this, the most thorough and persistent struggle must be waged, and especially it is necessary
to recommend, as a means in this struggle, the skillful
combination, combining of legal work with illegal work, verification (whether suitable for illegal
work)
by means of prolonged legal work 3.
With communist greetings
Your Lenin
