NOTE TO A. A. BOGDANOV

Written in Geneva on October 27 or 28, 1908 (mailed locally) · First published in 1930 in Lenin Miscellany XIII. Printed from the original. · page 164

Dear A. A.,

Here is Steklov’s letter. Reply to him yourself. I replied that I was agreeable, provided the subjects were changed round—philosophy for me, the peasant question for Bazarov.^[1]

All the best,
Lenin

P.S. Return the letter.

[1] In October 1908, Y. M. Steklov asked Lenin to write an article “Chernyshevsky and the Peasant Question” for a collection on Chernyshevsky’s life and work. He asked Lenin to inform Bogdanov of his letter. Lenin sent Bogdanov Steklov’s letter with his own note.

The collection was not published.
