V. I.   Lenin

Session of the Council of the R.S.D.L.P. (January 1904)

January 15-17 (28-30), 1904

Comrade Martov entirely misinterprets the Rules. The Central Organ must have full information about everything— that is required both by the Rules and by the interests of the work. But the dispatch of representatives with organisational objects—such as sending Z[1] to the Odessa Committee without the Central Committee’s knowledge—manifestly upsets the natural division of functions between the two central bodies of the Party. It is quite unnecessary for purposes of information, and only introduces the plainest disorganisation, completely disrupting unity of action. What this sort of move does is to aggravate the chaos in Party affairs, and in practice it means an outright splitting of the Party in two—instead of division of functions between the two central bodies.


Notes

[1] By Z is meant V. N. Krokhmal.
