NOTES<br />

639<br />

In the second edition the results <strong>of</strong> the struggle against the<br />

so-called “Legal <strong>Marx</strong>ists” on the basic problems dealt with in<br />

The Development <strong>of</strong> Capitalism in Russia are also summed up.<br />

The experience <strong>of</strong> the first Russian Revolution <strong>of</strong> 1905-1907<br />

fully confirmed <strong>Lenin</strong>’s description <strong>of</strong> the “Legal <strong>Marx</strong>ists”<br />

as bourgeois liberals hiding behind the cloak <strong>of</strong> <strong>Marx</strong>ism and<br />

attempting <strong>to</strong> use the working-class movement in the interests<br />

<strong>of</strong> the bourgeoisie.<br />

He introduced 24 new footnotes in<strong>to</strong> the second edition (pp.<br />

27, 45, 57, 157, 159, 163, 183, 206, 221, 274, 281, 389, 449, 451,<br />

467, 499, 509, 523, 526, 533, 535, 550, 552, 575), 2 new sections<br />

(pp. 146-148 and 501-507), a new table (p. 512), wrote 8<br />

paragraphs <strong>of</strong> new text and 3 big additions <strong>to</strong> previous paragraphs<br />

(pp. 300-303, 223-224, 225, 293-294), and made about 75<br />

additions and alterations.<br />

<strong>Lenin</strong> did not cease working on his Development <strong>of</strong> Capitalism<br />

in Russia after the appearance <strong>of</strong> the second edition in 1908.<br />

This is shown by the additions, made by him in 1910 or 1911<br />

<strong>to</strong> page 405 <strong>of</strong> a copy <strong>of</strong> the second edition, dealing with the<br />

division <strong>of</strong> fac<strong>to</strong>ries and works in<strong>to</strong> groups according <strong>to</strong> the number<br />

<strong>of</strong> workers employed in 1908 (see illustration on page 513<br />

<strong>of</strong> the present volume).<br />

In the preface <strong>to</strong> the second edition <strong>Lenin</strong> speaks <strong>of</strong> the possibility<br />

<strong>of</strong> his revising the work in the future and indicates that<br />

in that case it would have <strong>to</strong> be divided in<strong>to</strong> two volumes:—<br />

volume 1 <strong>to</strong> be devoted <strong>to</strong> an analysis <strong>of</strong> Russian economy<br />

before the Revolution and volume 2 <strong>to</strong> a study <strong>of</strong> the results and<br />

achievements <strong>of</strong> the Revolution.<br />

A number <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lenin</strong>’s other works, including The Agrarian<br />

Programme <strong>of</strong> Social-Democracy in the First Russian Revolution,<br />

1905-1907, which was written at the end <strong>of</strong> 1907, were<br />

devoted <strong>to</strong> a study <strong>of</strong> the results and achievements <strong>of</strong> the 1905-<br />

1907 Revolution. p. 31<br />

<strong>Marx</strong> cites Heine’s expression relating <strong>to</strong> “yes-men”: “Ich habe<br />

Drachenzähne gesät und Flöhe geerntet” (I have sown dragon’s<br />

teeth and harvested fleas) in his book Karl Grün, “Die sozial<br />

Bewegung in Frankreich und Belgien” (Darmstadt, 1845) oder<br />

Die Geschichtschreibung des wahren Sozialismus [Karl Grün,<br />

“The Social Movement in France and Belgium” (Darmstadt, 1845),<br />

or The His<strong>to</strong>riography <strong>of</strong> True Socialism] (<strong>Marx</strong>-Engles/Gesamtausgabe,<br />

Erste Abteil, B. 5, S. 495). p. 32<br />

Cadets—members <strong>of</strong> the Constitutional-Democratic Party,<br />

the chief party <strong>of</strong> the Russian imperialist bourgeoisie. The<br />

Cadet Party was founded in Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 1905, its membership including<br />

representatives <strong>of</strong> the liberal-monarchist bourgeoisie, Zemstvo<br />

functionaries and bourgeois intellectuals who used hypocritical<br />

phrases about “democracy” <strong>to</strong> hide their real views and <strong>to</strong> win over<br />

the peasantry. The Cadet agrarian programme envisaged the<br />

possibility <strong>of</strong> part <strong>of</strong> the landed estates being turned over <strong>to</strong><br />

the peasants on the basis <strong>of</strong> redemption payments, but at an
