N. Prokopovich, Y. D. Kuskova,V. Y. Bogucharsky, and others) which published a weekly journalBez Zaglaviya (Without a Title) in St. Petersburg (1906). Avowedadherents of “critical socialism”—supporters of the revisionistwing of West-European Social-Democracy (Bernstein and others),the Bezzaglavtsi were opposed to the proletariat pursuing anindependent class policy. Lenin called them “pro-MenshevikCadets” or “pro-Cadet Mensheviks”. p. 234Popular Socialists (Enesy)—a petty-bourgeois party formed in1906 by splitting off from the Right wing of the Socialist-Revolutionaries.It put forward moderate democratic demands within theframework of a constitutional monarchy. The Enesy rejected theproposal for socialisation of the land contained in the Socialist-Revolutionary programme, and admitted alienation of the landlords’land on the basis of compensation. Lenin called the Enesy“petty-bourgeois opportunists”, “social-Cadets”, and “Socialist-Revolutionary Mensheviks”. The leaders of the Enesy were: A. V.Peshekhonov, V. A. Myakotin, N. F. Annensky, and others. p. 234Nashi Pomoi (Our Garbage) was Lenin’s ironical name for the liquidationistjournal Nasha Zarya (Our Dawn).The Congress of Literary Hangers-on—the Second All-RussianCongress of Writers, held in St. Petersburg on April 21-28 (May 4-11), 1910, with the participation of representatives of NashaZarya and the Menshevik Sovremenny Mir (Contemporary World).At the very first demand of the police, the Congress without anyresistance cancelled discussion of a resolution on freedom of thepress.In speaking of the Posse-ists, Lenin is referring to the collaborationof the liquidators in the liberal-bourgeois magazine SoyuzPotrebitelei (Consumers’ Association), which was led by V.
