056 Letters from afar

PS: The collection is very bad! Outbreak, add more at night! Kneel and beg for collection!!!!!

While a certain immortal and a certain princess were planning the idea of building a granary, on the other side of Petrograd, Dzerzhinsky, who had just played a certain immortal, was worried.

The letter I received at the meeting, it was quite long, and it was quite heavy. And not only because of the name of the letter - Vladimir. Ilyich. Ulyanov, that is, the great Comrade Lenin. Moreover, the main content of the letter is tantamount to a slap in the face for the Petrograd Party Committee and the Russian Central Bureau, which have just suppressed a storm and are still in the midst of a storm.

The letters were forwarded by Ganetsky, who was based in Stockholm, respectively

Ning's "Letters to the Bolsheviks Departing for China" and "Letters from Far Away (1)" published on March 19 and March 20. Whether it was "Letters from Afar" or "Letters to the Bolsheviks", Dzerzhinsky did not expect his attitude to be tough and radical.

Even if it weren't for the fact that the forwarder was an old comrade like Ganetsky, Dzerzhinsky would have suspected that the letter was forged. These two things almost completely repudiate the revolutionary line established by Lenin himself in 1905, and also the line that he and Kamenev have just affirmed:

"Our strategy is: completely distrust the new government and give it no support; Be especially suspicious of Kerensky; arming the proletariat – this is the only guarantee; Immediately hold elections to the Petrograd Duma; By no means close to other parties ......"

Dzerzhinsky once again carefully looked at the signature of the letter and confirmed that it was not Andrei. Petrovich. Sbelowsky. Think about what the little guy has been planning all this time, resisting the Provisional Government, seeking to build up the party's armed forces, and disdainful of the other parties, well, except for the difference in signatures, the opinions of the two are almost highly identical. Someone simply became the spokesman of Comrade Lenin!

Dzerzhinsky couldn't help but be a little skeptical, could it be that the little guy's eyes followed

Comrade Ning as long-term? He immediately shook his head, and the unrealistic, even almost ridiculous, thought immediately came to mind. Because as long as a person of normal nerves would not think that a little guy who has not graduated from university and is only 17 years old can be compared with Comrade Lenin, this is really a cold joke that could not be colder.

However, Dzerzhinsky couldn't help but make such a comparison, because these two people were full of incredible strength, Lenin's personality charm was naturally needless to say, and many old comrades in the party were infected by him, and then threw themselves into the revolution without hesitation, including Kamenev, who was now sitting in front of him with a blue face and trembling all over.

The other little guy, though not yet as contagious, is often able to win by surprise, whether it is a daring escape from prison or just inciting workers and grassroots party members to besiege Pravda's editorial office. Yes, for Dzerzhinsky, who has worked underground all his life, it is too simple to find out who is behind it.

Although the latter action was defused by him, Dzerzhinsky did not deny that the little guy did make him very passive, and if it were not for the lack of experience and skill, maybe the "Pravda" at this time would have changed the world.

Dzerzhinsky originally felt that someone was very unsimple, but he did not expect that this little guy could not be simple to such an extent, and his opinion was completely affirmed by Lenin, although Lenin certainly did not know this inconspicuous little guy, but it was precisely because he did not know that the little guy was not simple. If he had known Lenin for a long time, these opinions would not be so surprising.

But surprise to surprise, for Dzerzhinsky the situation was a bottomless pit, and he could cope with someone who had no roots and no reputation in the party, but he had no confidence in the face of the spiritual leader and general mentor of the Bolsheviks. The destructive power of the two is completely incomparable, Li Xiaofeng is a second kick at best, and Lenin is at the level of nuclear weapons. …,

Dzerzhinsky felt that this letter had come at an inopportune time, that he had just experienced a storm, that the hearts were stirring, and that he, who had barely crumpled the opinions of the party, could not withstand the bombardment of Comrade Lenin. I am afraid that the contents of this letter, as soon as they are published, will mean a great split among the Bolsheviks!

Where do we go from here?

Dzerzhinsky fell into deep thought, and from the bottom of his heart, he did not agree with the column

Ning's opinion, even if Lenin was the leader of the party and a spiritual symbol, he just could not completely agree with the other side's opinion. As stated in "Letters from Afar", the first stage of the Russian revolution had been victorious, but for the second stage of the revolution, he believed that the conditions were far from ripe, and that the Russian workers were weak and ignorant enough to bear the burden of the revolution in the second stage. And at the moment when the enemy is present, it does not seem to be a responsible attitude to rush the revolution. I am afraid that it will cause incalculable damage to Russia.

At this time, Dzerzhinsky wanted to talk to Lenin in person and ask him what you thought about the future of Russia. But this was only an extravagant hope, and as far as he had recently received information, both the French and the British refused to allow the Russian political exiles living in Switzerland to cross the border, and that it was almost impossible for comrades abroad, including Lenin, to return home.

It cannot but be said that the British and French are quite disgusting people, and in order to protect their own interests, in order to let the Russian Provisional Government, which obeys them, control the situation, they have come up with a trick to draw salaries, whether it is the Bolsheviks or the Mensheviks, the leaders who are inclined to the revolution are basically in exile, and the group of people in China are either cats and dogs, or centrists and rightists, and there are very few radicals. The men who were now in charge of the political situation in Russia were satisfied with the present situation, and it must be said that the British and French were quite clever in coping with the revolutionary situation in Russia after the situation of the revolution in Russia got out of control.

Of course, the British and French did more than that, and Dzerzhinsky did not know how to do so, such as the expulsion of Russian radicals in exile from Europe, and the hapless Trotsky enjoyed this treatment.

This revolutionary mentor was first expelled from Paris, denied to Switzerland, and then exiled to Spain, where the Spanish government, under pressure from France and Britain, imprisoned him and threw him into the United States like a plague god. When the boss of the Menshevik district heard the news of the victory of the Russian February Revolution and set off from New York to return to Russia, the British intercepted him halfway and imprisoned him directly in a German prisoner of war camp in Canada.

Without the backbone of the revolution, the radical party activities in Russia were greatly affected, at least the activities of the Bolsheviks, and they were in danger of splitting. In fact, in Dzerzhinsky's view, it was already divided.

"I don't agree with the letter!" Kamenev clearly stated his attitude: "Comrade Lenin's opinion is only of reference value, he has lived abroad for a long time, he has completely detached himself from the reality of the Russian revolution, and he has made his conclusions without understanding the current situation of the Russian revolution. Such a conclusion is divorced from reality and the masses, and it is even more unscientific! We should stick to our own opinions! And I am also sure that Comrade Lenin will come to the right conclusions when he returns to the country and understands the current situation! ”

Dzerzhinsky did not quite agree with Kamenev's statement, even if he was with Lie

It is not difficult to see from "Letters from Far Away" that some of Lenin's assertions do not seem to be groundless, and his radical attitude can be said to have grasped the voice of the workers very well, and it is not so much a detachment from the masses as a parting with some high-level cadres in the party who tend to be conservative. …,

"Shall the "Letters from Far Away" and the "Letters to the Bolsheviks Departing for the Return" be published in Pravda?" Stalin, who had always spoken little, sharply asked the question.

To be honest, this is a very difficult question, because the letter is out of place, and the implication of publishing such an article in the mouthpiece of the Party at such a delicate moment may cause great ideological vacillation. And such a vacillation is certainly the last thing Kamenev wants to see, because such a vacillation is the most unfavorable for him.

"I don't think Comrade Lenin's letter should be published for the time being!" Kamenev immediately decided: "First of all, this letter is the opinion of Comrade Lenin who had just learned of the victory of the revolution, and at that time his opinion was probably somewhat one-sided, and perhaps Comrade Lenin had already revised this opinion after learning about the real situation in the country. It would be irresponsible for us to publish in a hurry; Secondly, Comrade Lenin did not understand the domestic reality and was very likely to make an erroneous judgment, and blind publication may lead to an error in the understanding of the masses at the grassroots level and lead to a wrong orientation. Therefore, in a conscientious and responsible manner, I suggest that such texts should not be published until direct contact with Comrade Lenin has been made, or until he has returned to China. ”

Does Kamenev have a point? It looks like that, columns

After all, Ning has been abroad for more than ten years, and it is normal not to understand the current situation in Russia. But then again, he, Kamenev, understands the current state of affairs in Russia?

Kamenev returned to Russia in 1914, and then was arrested and exiled near the Siberian Polar Circle not long after, although he was in Russia, but in the environment of being placed under military police surveillance in the place of exile, his news was more closed than Lenin, who lived in Switzerland, and he did not know anything about the reality of Russia, and he was not qualified to say that Lenin did not understand the current situation, in fact, he did not understand the current situation the most, or he was the least willing to see the current situation clearly.

Moreover, from a selfish point of view, the publication of Lenin's "Letters from Far Away" was a blow to Kamenev, after all, from the beginning of his return to Petrograd, he was clamoring for support for the Provisional Government, and his prestige in the party depended to a large extent on Lenin's support, and the loss of Comrade Lenin's sword would obviously have a great impact, although it would not discredit him. Therefore, whether it was for his own political future or the revolutionary line he believed in, he had to deal with "Letter from Far Away" coldly.

If, as in history, Dzerzhinsky presided over the work in Moscow and not in Petrograd, then Kamenev would undoubtedly have emerged victorious. But Dzerzhinsky is here now, and he is the only counterweight to Kamenev, although he does not agree with Lenin's ideas, but Dzerzhinsky will defend Lenin's right to express his opinion, just as he is troubled by the actions of an immortal, but he admires the "revolutionary spirit" of an immortal......
