Statement by the Bolsheviks[1]

STATEMENT OF FACTS

With reference to Dan’s statement about agreements between groups within the ’Bolsheviks’ ranks, we place on record that our agreements are between Party people working within the Party and writing in the Party organs, whereas the Mensheviks, both in their resolution and in all their’ activities, enter into agreements between Party people and non-Party people who secretly work against the Party, liquidate it and carry on a policy of opportunism without precedent in any European Social-Democratic Party.
