Dear Radek,

Trotsky or Kamenev will inform you of my point of view. I fundamentally and radically disagree with you. You are falling into the trap which the imperialists of both groups are setting the Republic of Soviets.^[1]

With best regards,
Yours,
Lenin

Notes

[1] At the time of the Communist Party’s efforts to extricate Soviet Russia from the imperialist war K. Radek’s standpoint was that of the “Left Communists”.
