16. To G. V. PLEKHANOV^[1]

Written April 15, 1901 · First published September 7, 1956, in the newspaper Smena (Leningrad) No. 210. Sent from Munich to Geneva. Printed from the original. · page 55

I received the collection At the Post of Honour^[2] dedicated to Mikhailovsky. It must be picked to pieces in the second issue of Zarya; I’ll attend to Chernov, who handles Kautsky ‘\a la Bulgakov. It would be a good thing if you   were to tackle Rafailov, Yuzhakov and the other “sociologists”. This will be an act of revenge against Mikhailovsky.

Yours,
Petrov
