Ostryakov reported that he was encountering difficulties and asked Lenin to help remove them and endorse the decree Ostryakov had drafted. On January 27, 1921 the C.P.C. passed a decree on organising full- scale radio-telephone construction. It instructed the People’s Commissar iat of Posts and Telegraphs to build stations for two- way radio-telephone communication in Moscow and other centres.

401 This refers to the book Plan elektrifikatsii R.S.F.S.R. Doklad vosmomu syezdu Sovetov Gosudarstvennoi Komissii po elektrifika- tsil Rossii (Plan for the Electrification of the R.S.F.S.H. Report of the State Commission for the Electrification of Russia to the Eighth Congress of Soviets) published in December 1920. Lenin spoke of the importance of this book in his report on the work of the Council of People’s Commissars at the Eighth All- Russia Congress of Soviets (see present edition, Vol. 31, pp. 513- 18) and in the article “An Integrated Economic Plan” (ibid., Vol. 32, pp. 137- 41). p. 480

Reference is to NEP (New Economic Policy)—the policy of the proletarian state during the period of transition from capitalism to socialism. This policy was “new” in contrast to the economic pol- icy which had been conducted in Soviet Russia in the period of foreign military intervention and the Civil War, known in histo- ry as the policy of War Communism (1918-20). The latter was made necessary by war- time conditions, and its characteristic fea- tures were extreme centralisation of production and distribution of goods, prohibition of free trading, and food requisitioning which compelled the peasants to turn in all surplus produce to the state. When the New Economic Policy was adopted, commodity- money relations became the basic form of relations between social- ist industry and the small-peasant economy. When food requisi- tioning was abolished and replaced by the tax in kind, the peasants were able to dispose of their surplus produce as they chose, i.e., sell them at the market, and through the market obtain the indus- trial goods they required. The New Economic Policy was calculated to achieve a firm eco- nomic and political alliance between the working class and the peasantry for the building of socialism, for the development of the productive forces along socialist lines. It provided for a certain measure of capitalism while the basic economic positions remained in the hands of the proletarian state. It assumed the struggle of the socialist elements against the capitalist elements, the victory of the socialist elements, the elimination of the exploiting classes, and the building of socialism in the U.S.S.R. p. 483
(Latest News)—whiteguard émigré daily paper, organ of the counter-revolutionary Constitutional- Demo- cratic Party (Cadets); published in Paris from April 1920 to July 1940. Its editor was P. N. Milyukov. p. 490

the Change in the Policy of Soviet Power” at the general meeting of the R.C.P.(B.) group at the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, May 18, 1921. Sokolov sent it to Lenin requesting him to read it and reply to a number of questions which it raised. p. 491 In the draft of his co-report Sokolov quoted the following passage from Engels: “The worst thing that can befall a leader of an extreme party is to be compelled to take over a government at a time when society is not yet ripe for the domination of the class he represents and for the measures which that domination implies” (Engels, The Peasant War in Germany, Moscow, 1965, p. 112).
p. 492 Dzerzhinsky, F. E. (1877-1926)—Party member from 1895. After the October Socialist Revolution he became Chairman of the All- Russia Extraordinary Commission to Combat Counter-Revolu- tion and Sabotage (known as the Cheka). In 1921 he was appoint- ed People’s Commissar for Railways, while remaining Chairman of the Cheka and People’s Commissar for Internal Affairs. Member of the C.C. of the R.C.P.(B.). p. 499
Pavlovich, M. P. (Veltman, M. L.) (1871-1929)—Social- Demo- crat, Menshevik. He became a Communist after 1917, and from 1921 was a member of the Collegium of the Commissariat for Affairs of Nationalities. p. 501 Reference is to the preparations for the publication of the Vsemir- ny geografichesky atlas (Geographical Atlas of the World), launched on Lenin’s initiative. The project was not realised. p. 501
he became a member of the Presidium of the All- Russia C.E.C.; in 1920-24, Deputy People’s Commissar of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspection, member of the Collegium of the Cheka, and later Deputy People’s Commissar for Foreign Trade. p. 504
Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspection (Rabkrin) was set up in Feb- ruary 1920 on Lenin’s initiative, on the basis of the reorganised People’s Commissariat of State Control, which had been formed in the early months of Soviet power. Lenin attached great impor- tance to control and verification at all levels. He worked out in detail the principles of organising control in the Soviet state, kept an eye on Rabkrin’s activity, criticised its shortcomings and did his best to make it more efficient. In his last articles, “How We Should Reorganise the Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspection” and “Better Fewer, but Better”, Lenin outlined a plan for reor- ganising Rabkrin. The basic principles of Lenin’s plan were to merge Party and state control and to enlist more workers and peasants in its activities. p. 504

It stated: “The Organising Bureau should confirm the need to take the maximum number of Communists and, in exceptional cases, other particu- larly valuable comrades, from their present work and transfer them to food work, even at the cost of causing a temporary dos- ing- down of nine- tenths of departments in some institutions and even whole People’s Commissariats that are not absolutely essen- tial.”

Reference is to the following passage from the article by Skvor- tsov-Stepanov: “Here, too, the class struggle must develop, the struggle between socialism and ‘capitalist craftsmanship’ or ‘craftsmen’s capitalism’, more likely the latter. After what has been said the reader will not be surprised by the abnormality of this phrase. It is no more abnormal than the real relations which it expresses.” p. 557
International Workers’ Aid—an international proletarian organ- isation, set up in 1921 to help the population of the parts of Soviet Russia which in 1921 were struck by famine because of the bad harvest. Its chairman was Clara Zetkin, and its General Secretary, Willi Münzenberg. International Workers’ Aid was active in collecting money, provisions and medical supplies, organising children’s homes, etc. In 1922 the I.W.A. launched a number of industrial and agricultural projects in Soviet Russia to promote her economic rehabilitation. The I.W.A. later grew into a powerful organisation, which rendered great assistance to the international working-class movement. p. 559
