On June 23, 1897, 17 Russian Marxists arriving by ship from Marseille, France, arrived in Shanghai, where Dzerzhinsky and Luxemburg were represented. In addition to www.biquge.info delegates from Moscow, Petersburg, Odessa, Kiev, Tula, Kazan, Mykolaiv, Warsaw, Baku and the Kingdom of Finland, which are also the most active regions of the Marxist movement in Russia, will be present as observers.

It was on June 30 that Witte came to the house in Nanhui Chengxiang Town, which was later known as Huinan Town, which was more than 30 kilometers away from the Shanghai Concession and was under the jurisdiction of Nanhui County, the governor of Jiangsu. When Witt arrived, the whole manor was full of people, but the locals who had lived nearby avoided it, and some of the houses were empty. Nanhui Zhixian originally sent people over several times, but after this leased land incident, Nanhui Zhixian ignored it, which also created a good and stable environment for this meeting.

"Vasya, you're finally here, I'm dying of busyness." Although Witte did not see anyone, listening to the complaining voice, he guessed that this must be Ulyanov, who had assumed the alias Lenin. Sure enough, after walking around a corner, I saw Lenin standing there, and Witte stepped forward to give Lenin a hug and said: "Ilyich, don't think I don't know, in fact, a lot of things here are handled by Luxembourg and Dzerzhinsky, how busy can you be?" ”

Lenin was dissatisfied: "Hmph, do you think it's that simple? The old generator you got from the concession has problems every now and then, and there are so many people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, the people of Nanhui County are afraid of us, and some merchants don't sell us goods, so we have to find a way to solve it! ”

"Okay, thank you!" Witte looked at the complaining Lenin and couldn't help but smile and said, "This time I came here and brought a lot of supplies from the concession, these things should be enough for so many of us to eat for several days, just now I have asked Dzerzhinsky to bring people to move." ”

As the two were talking, Chaginov and Nikonov came side by side and said, "Vasya, I'm so glad to see you. ”

"Haha, I'm happy too!" Witt said to the two, "Hey, why didn't you see Comrade Krupskaya?" After saying that, he looked at Lenin again.

Lenin's face was slightly red, and Chaginov said: "Krupskaya is over there with Luxembourg to prepare the relevant materials for tomorrow's meeting. Our dear Ilyich didn't have time to bother Krupskaya during this time. ”

"Haha!" The three of Witte looked at Lenin and laughed, when a voice rang out: "What are you laughing at?" Since you're so happy, I'll take a picture of you. ”

When Witt saw that it was a strange woman, Nikonov introduced: "Vasya, this is Anithea. Tarasovna. Eremeyeva is a member of the Association of Labor Liberators of the Baku Region and the editor of the newspaper Struggler. ”

As soon as Witte heard this, he stepped forward and said: "Hello Comrade Eremayeva, I am Vasily. Borisovich. Witte, nice to meet you! ”

Yeremeeva smiled and said: "I know you, 'butcher'! Your name is well-known throughout Russia, how could I not have known. And your father, Boris. Mr. Witte is the governor of our Baku province. ”

"It's all a false name, you see that I'm so kind, how can I be a 'butcher'?" Witt hurriedly defended himself.

At this time, Lenin looked at Werther, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Comrade Eremeyeva, our Consul Mr. Werther is still single?" I don't think you two should be together! ”

Witte and Yeremeeva were overwhelmed by Lenin's sudden voice, and Nikonov, who was standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Aren't you going to take pictures?" I can't wait. ”

"Yes, yes, take pictures, take pictures!" Chaginov also hurriedly spoke up.

Witt glared at Lenin with a smile on his face, and walked over and whispered: "Ilyich, I'll clean you up later!" With that, he turned around and smiled, and stood with Chaginov and Nikonov, and with "1, 2, 3" and then flashes of light, the time was frozen at 1:27 p.m. on June 30, 1897, and the photograph has since been kept in the Moscow State Museum. It's just that those who have seen this photo are very puzzled, why Werther, Nikonov and Chaginov are all smiling, while only Lenin has a crying and laughing expression, which makes many historians in later generations feel inexplicable, and thus also allows some conspiracy theorists to find arguments to slander the Red Empire.

The next day, July 1, 1897, at 9 o'clock in the morning, it was the scorching heat, the temperature had reached about 34 degrees, and the hot and humid weather made these polar bears from the north feel very uncomfortable. The main aspect of today's meeting will be the election of the preparatory committee for the meeting, and the formal meeting will be formally convened on 4 July.

"Comrades! Thank you for coming all the way to this strange country, for the ideals of our hearts, for the liberation of countless suffering laborers throughout Russia. I still remember the winter of 1895, in our capital, St. Petersburg, outside the Tsar's palace, the army that was supposed to defend the people used weapons to suppress the unarmed marchers, and that day the Hermitage Square was bloody, and that day completely extinguished the flame of hope for our attempts at peaceful reform. "Witte was chosen as the opening moderator of the preparatory meeting and was the first to speak,

"We are gathered here today to unite the Marxists of all of Russia, to fight together for our ideals and to liberate more oppressed people. Today is the preparatory meeting for the founding of the Communist Party of the Russian Union, and we have invited representatives of Marxist groups from Petersburg, Moscow, Odessa, Kiev, Tula, Kazan, Mykolaiv, Warsaw, Baku and the Kingdom of Finland, as well as comrades from the German Social Democratic Labour Party, to attend as observers, which will undoubtedly become a new starting point for the Russian social-democratic movement and a historic page in the entire world proletarian movement.

On February 21, 1848, Mr. Marx's Communist Manifesto opened up for the first time a new world for the broad masses of oppressed toilers, and from that day onwards the proletariat began to enter the stage of revolution and thus become the main force of the revolution. We are here today to continue to practice Mr. Marx's ideas, continue to carry forward the fighting spirit of Marxists, and establish a Marxist political party, the Communist Party, in Russia. This party is not a party of one person, but a party of all the proletariat, a party of all the people, a party of alliances, a party of fighting power and cohesion, and a party that is for the liberation of the suffering of the whole world.

The party that we are going to form is a coalition party belonging to the entire Russian population, which includes, first of all, the Union parties of the Kingdom of Finland, the Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania and all the states directly under it; followed by a coalition party of the working and peasant classes; again a coalition of all social groups and parties opposed to an authoritarian government; Finally, there is the coalition party of all Marxists.

Our first task in the formation of this party is to help all the working and peasant classes in Russia, to raise the class consciousness of the toilers and to organise them in struggle; The secondary task is to unite all social groups and parties that oppose the authoritarian government and to build a perfect united front for the struggle. The goal of our founding party is to overthrow the autocratic rule of the decadent tsar, establish a democratic dictatorship belonging to the people, improve the people's livelihood and economy, strengthen the national strength, and finally achieve the great victory of communism in Russia.

Comrades, we have a difficult and bumpy road ahead, so we need to fight with the fullest zeal and passion. We must lead the countless working people in Russia to realize self-salvation and self-worth. As long as we always adhere to the ideal struggle, Interna Schontel will definitely be realized! ”
