February 18, 1902
Dear L. I.,
In reply to your letter, I hasten to tell you that the articles by Struve and Bulgakov appeared in the May 1897 issue of Novoye Slovo (No. 8, according to their special numbering).[1]
We are very glad that you will be finishing the article soon—please send the articles of Struve and Bulgakov along with it.
Have you made any use of the articles by Vl. Chernov in the latest issues of Russkoye Bogatstvo on the subjective method, Berdayev, etc.? What a good thing it would be to devote even a few lines to giving this chatterbox a dressing down! In No. 2 (February) of Sozialistische Monatshefte[2] someone called Lozinsky also tries to bury materialism and extols Berdayev.
We hear from Vologda (where Berdayev and Bogdanov are doing time) that the exiles there engage in earnest discussions of philosophy, and that Berdayev, as the one who knows most about it, appears to be “winning”.
Every good wish,
Yours....
[1] Lenin informed Lyubov Axelrod of the publication of the articles by P. B. Struve and S. N. Bulgakov and sent her the clippings from Novoye Slovo (New Word), Vol. 8, May 1897. Axelrod used the material in her article, “Some Philosophical Exercises by Certain ‘Critics’”, which was directed against Struve and Bulgakov, and appeared in Zarya No. 4, August 1902.
