SPEECH ON RUMYANTSEV’S RESOLUTION ON THE SPLINTER SECTION OF THE PARTY{1}

APRIL 28 (MAY 6)

I find the first part unacceptable: how, given the split, is one to refrain from agitating? As for dissolving the Menshevik committees, that should be done with extreme caution.

Notes

{1} A draft resolution motioned by P. P. Rumyantsev (Filippov) said that there should be no agitation on the periphery and in the workers’ masses against whole Menshevik organisations or against individuals refusing to accept the Congress decisions, and that dissolution of Menshevik committees and establishment of Bolshevik committees where parallel organisations exist should be carried out in a most cautious manner, only when it was quite clear that a majority of the local committee members had refused to accept the decisions of the Third R.S.D.L.P. Congress. After a debate, the first part of the resolution was rejected, and the second adopted in the wording of Lenin and Bogdanov (Maximov) as not subject to publication (see Trety syezd R.S.D.R.P., p. 363). p. 162
