The main task now is to strengthen the O. C., to give battle, on the basis of recognition of this O. C., to all who are opposed, and then prepare for convening the congress as soon as possible. Please do everything you can to ensure that everybody understands this task correctly and that it is energetically carried out. It is time for Brutus to enter the stage! Publicity should be given the O. C. as soon as possible.[1]

[2] The Iskra organisation in Russia united all followers of Iskra in the country. When the Organising Committee for convening the Party’s Second Congress was established at the Pskov conference, the Iskra organisations placed all their contacts at its disposal. The Iskra organisation in Russia existed up to the Second Congress and played an important part in preparing for and convening this Congress which founded the revolutionary Marxist party in Russia.
