To:   THE CENTRAL CONTROL COMMISSION [1]

I confirm the above. I have known Comrade Adoratsky (and I know him we’ll) since the post–1905 period of reaction.
In face of the trend to the right, he was a Bolshevik already at the lime, and has remained one. He arrived from
Germany in 1919 in very poor health. He is a theorist and
propagandist. I should think it absolutely right to date
his membership in the R.C.P. from 1904.

10. IV.1922. V. Ulyanov (Lenin )

Written at the bottom of the autobiography of V. V. Adoratsky,
who was asking the Central Control Commission to date his Party
membership from 1904. His request was met.
