[1921, later than September 18]

Comrade Radek!
Many thanks for the materials sent. I am returning them.
I cannot give my opinion, because the matter is unclear to me: too
little has been underlined by you and read by me for me to
form a judgment.
By the way. If you see Gennari, thank him for his letter "to Comrades Members of the ECCI" dated 18. IX. 1921.
Clear, precise and convincing to the end.
Serrati – a mixture of philistine flabbiness and political
swindling.
If Gennari and other comrades – of course, including you and Zinoviev – deemed it useful for me to
repeat this in print, I would gladly do so. Then Gennari should
send me the original of Serrati's article in "Avanti!" * and I will write
20 lines to him in the form of a letter for publication. But it is hardly worth
doing.
Your Lenin
