Dzerzhinsky immediately retorted: "This is inappropriate! Regardless of the columns

Whether Comrade Ning's opinion is correct or not, we have no right not to publish "Letters from Far Away", that is disrespectful to Comrade Lenin, and cannot fundamentally eliminate the controversy, my opinion is ......"

Before Dzerzhinsky finished speaking, Kamenev could not help himself, and he retorted in a tone of obvious annoyance: "Felix. Comrade Edmundovich, we have only just calmed down the impetuousness of the workers and put things back on track, and the publication of "Letters from Far Away" will only give them the wrong idea. Comrade Lenin is not in the country, and he does not know the danger of the situation in Ludao, are you not in the country either? This is extremely naïve! ”

Dzerzhinsky was much more determined than Kamenev, and he didn't seem to see any anger, but he was still so serious: "Of course I understand your concerns, but I must also remind you that both "Letters from Far Away" and "Telegrams to the Bolsheviks Leaving for China" have been published in foreign newspapers, and we can only hide them for a while, but we can't hide them for a lifetime!" And what kind of misunderstanding would it have caused if it had been reported that Pravda had refused to publish the articles of our Bolshevik leaders? What kind of thoughts will the comrades below have? My opinion is ......"

"This is also an important reason why I don't agree to publish it!" Kamenev became more and more impatient, "These two things of Comrade Lenin are the product of recklessness and impatience, and they are the momentary rashness of Comrade Lenin, infected by the victorious passion of the February Revolution!" When he calms down, he will definitely retract this unrealistic idea, and it is precisely out of responsibility for the honor of Comrade Lenin that we cannot publish such things! ”

In a sense, Kamenev's starting point was indeed to take responsibility for Lenin's reputation, and he could not bear to watch his mentor and leader make mistakes. However, this starting point has a premise, that is, Kamenev is right, but is he right?

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, when the Western countries looked back on the history of the October Revolution, they almost unanimously believed that the ideas of both Lenin and Trotsky were too impatient, and that Russia at that time had a more realistic, moderate, and conscientious choice. But why did the more realistic, gentler, and more conscientious part of the population, which they admire, not succeed? The reason is simple, these grandchildren are really a bunch of stupid wretched people.

It was not how powerful the Bolsheviks were that they seized power, but that these grandsons were really imbecile and self-inflicted. After the February Revolution, the two regimes stood side by side, and the Soviet Executive Committee was willing to support the Provisional Government, but the Provisional Government repeatedly lost points on key issues, from the April crisis to the first coalition government to the July crisis, and within nine months the Provisional Government always gave the wrong answers to the most crucial questions.

From the April crisis, the first coalition government to the July crisis, the Provisional Government went all the way down, from the initial support of the overwhelming majority of the Soviets to the final abandonment of the Soviets. It's not how powerful the Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, and the Left of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party were, and even if they were, it was the Provisional Government's own making, and it was normal for a person to make one or two bad moves, but every move he made was a bad move, so what other explanation was there besides saying that he was going to bring about his own destruction?

It was the Provisional Government's repeated bad chess games that led to the reshuffling of Soviet power, and the centrists and conservatives who supported them were elected from the Soviets little by little, and in the end they were not convinced, saying that the people were being deceived. It's not that you're incompetent, but that your opponent is too evil, and every loser will find this kind of excuse, but it doesn't make any sense. It can only be said that history gave the provisional government a chance to act as a savior, but not only did he not cherish it, but he insisted on crying and shouting to play the villain. …,

At the crossroads of history, Kamenev chose a path that he thought was right but was actually completely wrong, and went all the way to the black, and he, like the Provisional Government, made the wrong choice every time. Fortunately, his teacher Lenin pulled him back again and again, trusted him as always, defended him, and was already benevolent and righteous as a teacher. But the fact that the teacher does not punish him does not mean that he can be lucky forever. A few years later, his younger brother Stalin caught the mistake he had made in 1917 and did a good job of settling the score, although the latter did not perform better than Kamenev in 1917.

Of course, these are later words, and there is no need to mention them for the time being, as long as Kamenev is now smart, thinking that his proud protégé can correct the teacher's mistakes, can stand on his own and prepare to wrestle with the teacher.

Because of pride, he gets carried away, this is Kamenev's mentality, and it is also an important reason for him to have cups in the future. Dzerzhinsky, who was standing opposite him, was not such a person, and his pride and smugness were completely insulated from him, and Dzerzhinsky was more like a real revolutionary stone than Kamenev, who called himself a stone. He had a deeper understanding of Lenin's strength, Lenin's charisma, and Lenin's superb political skills than a certain protégé.

When the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks had not yet separated, and when the party was still called the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, Lenin fought many times with such old fritters as Plekhanov, Martov, and Donn, and tossed one party into two parties, and labeled his opponents a minority. Where is such a master that the academic Kamenev can deal with?

Of course, Dzerzhinsky was not arrogant enough to think that he could fight Lenin, he had no intention of resisting the other side at all, it would be meaningless, it would only split the party again, so he would stop Kamenev's extremely naïve suicidal provocation.

"Comrade Lenin was by no means an impulsive man, he had always had great foresight for the road of revolution, and "Letter from Far Away" was by no means a momentary impulse, and I think this is the conclusion that Comrade Lenin has come to after careful consideration. Although we cannot agree with this conclusion for the time being, it is completely worth discussing. It is necessary for all the comrades in the party to take a look and think about it, and my opinion is ......"

However, Kamenev could not understand Dzerzhinsky's painstaking efforts and interrupted him for the third time: "I still don't agree!" ”

Dzerzhinsky was not happy about this, in any case it is not polite to interrupt someone else's speech, not to mention that he is still a top member of the party, what qualifications do you Kamenev have to prevent me from speaking? Of course, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and according to Dzerzhinsky's principle of doing things, Kamenev will never be jealous of this, he is not the kind of person who declares personal vendettas, and he still has this as an old revolutionary.

"Comrade Kamenev, please pay attention! Pravda is the central publication of the Party and represents the opinion of the entire Party! ”

Dzerzhinsky's sentence is a bit heavy, and if you don't pick it out, it's tantamount to it, and it's almost a direct statement: Kamenev, wake up! Pravda is not your word!

In this regard, Kamenev naturally did not have a good face: "Now the opinions of the party are united, and the opinions of Comrade Lenin are not considered correct!" ”

Dzerzhinsky is really a little angry, Kamenev, are you going to play stupid with me, forget the scar and forget the pain? You just forgot about it after being protested?

"Opinions within the party are far from unified!" "There are still great differences between the working masses and us, and according to the resolution of yesterday's Party Congress, we must publish articles that represent the voices of the working masses, and Comrade Lenin's "Letter from Afar" is of great significance!" ”…,

"I absolutely don't agree with the publication!"

The more the two talked, the more they choked, and the attitudes of both sides were extremely tough, and it seemed that they would directly evolve into a real PK in the next second. Fortunately, there are not only two of them in the editorial department, although the people of the soy sauce cannot control the tendencies of "Pravda", and even help and thin mud enough. It's really that the status of these two people is too high, and the only person here who is qualified to interject is Stalin, who has always been the mascot after returning to Petrograd.

It doesn't seem too kind to call Comrade Iron a mascot, but to be honest, he doesn't play as much of a role in the party as a mascot. Unlike Dzerzhinsky and Kamenev, Stalin rarely went to the grassroots level to give speeches, rarely commented in newspapers, and more often sat alone in the corner with a pipe in his mouth and was silent. If it weren't for the title of a member of the Central Committee, it would have been almost forgotten.

In fact, it was forgotten, in Pravda there were Kamenev asking for instructions, and there were also Dzerzhinsky for instructions, but very few people looked for Stalin, and everyone did not pay any attention to this Georgian who was full of pockmarks and used to silence, and if it weren't for the fact that the two bigwigs were almost torn their faces at the moment, they would not have thought that there was also a member of the Central Committee here.

"My opinion?" Stalin was almost a little stupid with a pipe in his mouth, he was used to being a background board, and he was not stupid, he knew that the current contradictions were not so easy to mediate, although he was mixed with Kamenev, but he did not dare to offend Dzerzhinsky rashly, not to mention that Kamenev was against Lenin, even if he and Kamenev had similar ideas, he did not dare to mess around, this influence was too great.

There was silence for a long time, and just when Kamenev began to regret letting Stalin express his opinion, Comrade Iron finally took off his pipe and opened his mouth: "I don't think it ......would be appropriate not to publish Comrade Lenin's "Letters from Afar"

Kamenev was suddenly half angry, and his face instantly turned pale, as if a storm was brewing, but fortunately, Stalin only said half of this, and immediately he changed his words and said: "But it is not easy to say the impact of rashly publishing "Letters from Far Away", my opinion is that part of it will be published, and part of it will be published first...... When the time comes, I will publish some ......"
