SPEECH IN THE DEBATE ON THE DRAFT RESOLUTION ON GENERAL MEETINGS OF THE C. C.{1}

APRIL 21 (MAY 4)

I favour Maximov’s resolution. If it is difficult to get together once in three months, the period could be extended to four months. The C.C. member abroad must know everything and take part in deciding on the most important matters. If there is difficulty for all to get together, a meeting does not have to be full.

Notes

{1} The draft resolution of A.A. Bogdanov (Maximov) on general meetings of the C.C. said: “The Congress makes it binding on the C.C. to have periodical meetings—at least once in three months—of both its parts”, i.e., of the C.C. sections in Russia and abroad.

The resolution was adopted with an amendment stating that these meetings were to be held “at least once in four months” (Trety syezd R.S.D.R.P., p. 466). p. 159
