Listok “Pravdy” of July 6 carried a detailed refutation of the foul slander spread by the Black Hundred papers with regard to Lenin and others. A similar refutation, in a briefer form, was published as a separate leaflet on be half of our Party Central Committee.
In addition, we have only to answer the following question put to us: are the rumours concerning the arrest of Lenin, Kamenev, Zinoviev and others true? No, these rumours are_untrue_. All the Bolsheviks named here who are baited with particular zeal by the vile and slanderous press are members of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee of the Soviets of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies. Once again we request all fair-minded citizens not to believe these infamous slanders and sinister rumours.
