Collected Works of V. I. Lenin - Vol. 16 - From Marx to Mao

286V. I. LENINof the otzovist-ultimatumists openly without veiling them,as is the common practice in the literary utterances of theVperyodists. Listen for yourselves. What member of theVperyod group would frankly admit now that the otzovistultimatumistsare still dreaming about fighting squads,etc.? But the candid Voinov writes frankly that he and hisfriends want to “continue and develop our preparation forarmed action”, whereas Lenin, who has swung to the Right,denies “for example, the necessity of training schools”at the present time. What Vperyodist now says openly thatan “ultimatum” must be sent to the Duma group? But thegood Voinov informs us frankly that the “regeneration ofthe Party” is necessary to his friends in order to “presentan ultimatum to our deputies”.... What Vperyodist willtell you in the press for what purpose the otzovist-ultimatumistsrequire a “Party school” abroad? But the loquaciousVoinov does not omit to inform us that the “school” is necessaryfor preparing a “new congress” of the Party and theelection of a different Central Committee in place of thepresent “Right-wing” Central Committee.* Surely theVperyod “diplomats” will not thank Voinov for this candour!Trotsky, Voinov and Streltsov have fraternally joinedhands in opposing the Party line....Sotsial-Demokrat No. 17 ,September 25 (October 8), 1910Signed: N. LeninPublished according tothe text in Sotsial-Demokrat* In this article Voinov thought it expedient ... to add a littleboast that “some members of the C.C.’s elected at the Congress, butdissatisfied with the C.C.’s new policy have resigned.” Where andwhen was that, Comrade Voinov?
