[21] 正如我们已经指出的，从来没有一个布尔什维克的会议没有至少一个警察特工在场！"。21 * The Russian revolutionary movement underwent many changes in course, as a result of changes in the class struggle. A leader who adapted himself to the immediate needs at one stage found himself...
* The use of Aesopian language enabled Pravda to discuss the issues of the day without risking automatic confiscation. Since it was forbidden to refer to the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, it spoke of the “underground”, the “whole”, and the “old”, The three-part Bolshevik program of a democratic republic, the confiscation of the landed estates, and the eight-hour day were referre...
* Only in an atmosphere of political and civil freedom, when the danger of arbitrary rule has disappeared, when the possibility of a free All-Russian union of the proletariat will exist – only then can the working class give its authoritative opinion on questions of the defence of the country.

* No one was more competent to develop this question than Lenin, who knew better than anyone else how to raise Marxism from the level of a science to that of an art.
