On the question of Hanecki, the narrow C.C. has passed a decision not to appoint him as representative in Stockholm. That is to say, it rescinded the previous decision of the C.C. I propose that this decision be countermanded on the following grounds. See more

Received an interesting letter from Lenin from his Finnish underground. In it, Lenin issued directives to us to collect information abroad, and based on it, and information received from Russia, to expose vile accusations of Kerensky and Co.

How pleasant was this day with Lenin! In his presence a person came to life and felt a rush of fresh strength and special energy. I yearned to go Petersburg with him. But the leader told me to stay, and I had to obey…

Now the steamer is coming closer. These few minutes seemed to last an eternity. At last, it docks. Gradually, a number of figures appear: Platten, Vladimir Ilyich, Zinoviev, Nadezhda Konstantnovna and many familiar comrades...Radek is there, too. Confident that the Germans would dutifully honour our conditions and not inspect our passports, he decided to take advantage of the situation and make his way into Russia “illegally”.

When it seemed all hopes that the Provisional Government would help ensure passage through England were in vain, the expatriates in Switzerland decided to enter into negotiations with the German government. It was our Swiss comrade Platten who led the negotiations. The conditions, worked out by the entire expatriate colony, were accepted by the German government.

The conditions were as follows.

1) All expatriates are to travel regardless of their views on the war.

2)The railway carriage in which the expatriates are to travel will enjoy extra-territorial rights. Nobody has the right to enter the carriage without the permission of comrade Platten. There shall be no inspection of passports or luggage.

3) Those who travel to Russia are obliged, once there, to campaign for the exchange of a corresponding number of Austro-Hungarian internees.

It is a bold step, not only because it carried the risk of defamation and accusations of treason, but because there is no guarantee that Germany really will allow passage, and will not intern the Bolsheviks

Receiving in the post a book from Switzerland, I guessed that I’d find a letter inside the cover… And so it proved. I found a little note penned by Ilyich... as well as a photograph of him. See more
