499. To G. Y. ZINOVIEV

Written between August 2 and 11, 1916 · First published in 1964 in Collected Works, Fifth (Russian) Ed., Vol. 49. Sent from Flums to Hertenstein. Printed from the original. · page 555

I am sending the statement. It’s a pity you did not send Radek’s letter. I am still in the dark about the “defence” of Grimm! (And you didn’t send all the cuttings.)

The address to which you sent books to Pokrovsky—please, let me have it immediately.
||| N.B.

I have finished the article on self-determination; it runs into 79 pages

+ “Imperialism and the Split in Socialism”, which I am writing.

+ “Disarmament or the Arming of the People?” (which I have written in German). About 25 pages.

Where will it go in? What’s to be done? Where are the proofs?

I shall write about the Russian collection in a day or two.

I haven’t got Neue Zeit myself.

Salut!
Lenin
