436. To G. Y. ZINOVIEV
I am sending you Radek’s letter and his report.[2] Return the latter to him as soon as you can (with criticism: it’s weakish. Not a word about our pamphlet,[1] about defence of Nasha Zarya by Axelrod, etc.).
You have a lot of assistants—get them to make a copy of Radek’s report.
I am sending you the plan of leaflets: return as soon as possible.[3]
Best regards,
Lenin
N.B. [[ __ _ _ ]]
Ask Inessa whether she took from me Journal de
Genève[4] with an article by Romain Rolland! For God’s
sake, search everything everywhere to find it.
