Dear Friend!

Regarding Radek. You write: "I told him in Kinthal that he was acting badly."

And that's all? And that's all! But what is the political conclusion?? Or is his action merely an accident?? merely a personal matter?? Nothing of the kind! There is the source of your political error. You are not evaluating what is happening — politically. And, truly, this is a question of politics, however strange it may seem at first glance.

Regarding the defense of the fatherland. It would be extremely unpleasant for me if we were to part ways. Let us attempt once more to find harmony.

Here is some "material for reflection":

War is the continuation of politics.

The entire matter concerns the system of political relations before the war and during the war.
