The last two-thirds of Kamenev's article are very poor and hardly lend themselves to revision.

I have corrected the first third (p. 1 - p. 5 to the end), but I am unable to correct any further, for I see that the matter here is not one of editing, but of rewriting from scratch.

His idea (that the Octobrists and the Right are fighting over details, that their struggle, squabble, and fight are inevitable on the path of transforming the monarchy into a bourgeois one, that revolution emerges from this fight only mediately, i.e., with the intervention of the proletariat, and not immediately, not from the "leftward shift" of the bourgeoisie) - this idea Kamenev expresses in this part of the article in an extremely confused and muddled way, with thousands of unnecessary flourishes.
