TSARSKOE SELO AFTERNOON.
February 1, 1905. Geneva.p
• Foreign newspapers reported that at recent meetings in Tsarskoe Selo (after the victory of January 9) with the Tsar or
without him, the question of the desirability of peace with
Japan was actively discussed. In principle, everyone surrounding the adored monarch
is now in favor of peace. The number of state dignitaries who
ten days ago were definitely in favor of ending * the war
has decreased significantly now, and many of them have become convinced
supporters of peace.
For the information of those foolish social democrats from the so-called
C.C. of our party, who did not understand that phrases about "peace at any cost,"1 remaining empty phrases
(because no one asked about the opinions of social democrats and nothing depended on their opinion), in fact, under the given circumstances, served

only the frightened supporters of the autocracy. Our new Iskrists missed the turning point in the mood of the entire European
bourgeoisie (which began with sympathy for Japan and has long since
begun to side with Russia out of fear of revolution - cf. Frank
furter] Zeitung et al.). Now they are missing how empty,
banal phrases about peace at any cost begin to be utilized in their own purposes by the St. Petersburg Ugrum-Burcheevs.*
1 The slogan with the title "Peace at any cost" was put forward in
the leaflet "Who should win" signed by the "Editorial Board of Iskra". This
slogan was also promoted by Trotsky on p. 87 of his pamphlet "Our
political tasks". In 1905, Lenin repeatedly returned to criticism
of the mentioned slogan (see, for example, Works, vol. VII, pp. 49 and 176).

in "The History of a City" by M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin.
The manuscript of Lenin, containing an exposition of the appeal to officers adopted in the Free Economic Society, is printed below
at a meeting of protest against the atrocities of the police and troops
(22) January 9, 1905. The presentation is given according to the text of the German
newspaper "Vossische Zeitung". In *No.
7 "Vpered" of February 7 (January 25) 4903, Lenin's note "Appeal to Officers"
was printed in a slightly modified version and with the verbatim text
of the appeal.
