1) I strongly urge that the Borotbists be accused not of nationalism, but of counter-revolutionary and petty-bourgeois tendencies.

2) An accusation should be definitely added that they do not treat their Spilka schoolteachers (do not wage an   implacable struggle against them) the way we do our petty-bourgeois A.T.U.[1]

Notes

[1] In referring to the Ukrainian Spilka teachers Lenin has in mind the Schoolteachers’ Union of the Ukraine, which was controlled by Petlyura elements. Spilka-Ukrainian Social-Democratic Union. A TU All-Russia Schoolteachers’ Union.
