{1} The article “The Historical Meaning of the Inner-Party Struggle in Russia” was directed against the slanderous articles of Trotsky and Martov published in the magazine Neue Zeit, the organ of the German Social-Democrats. Lenin intended to answer Trotsky and Martov in the same magazine, but the editors of Neue Zeit, Kautsky and Wurm, did not publish Lenin’s article. It was not published until April 29 (May 12), 1911 in Diskussionny Listok No. 3.
