Notes

{1} Lenin spoke twice on the question of the Organising Committee’s actions in calling the Second Congress of the R.S.D.L.P. For his first speech see present edition, Vol. 6, p. 484 and Note 136. The Congress adopted the following resolution:

“With the election of the committee, whose task is to determine the composition of the Congress, the Organising Committee has lost its right as a collegium to exert an influence on the composition of the Congress, and its activity, as a collegium, is deemed to have ceased on this point” (Vtoroi syezd R.S.D.R.P., 1959, pp. 37–38). p. 85
