Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Childhood disease "leftism" in communism (№ 394060)

Quick change of legal and illegal work associated with the need particularly to "hide", especially to conspire it the main staff, it leaders, lead us sometimes to deeply hazards. The worst was that in 1912, the Bolshevik Central Committee included the provocateur - Malinovsky. He failed dozens and dozens of the best and most faithful comrades, summing them under hard labor and accelerating the death of many of them. If he can do any more evil, it is because we have correctly put the ratio of legal and illegal work. To gain trust we have, Malinowski, as a member of the Central Committee of the party and a Duma Deputy, was to help us put the legal daily newspaper that knew how and when the tsarist government to fight against the opportunism of the Mensheviks, to preach the fundamentals of Bolshevism in suitably disguised form. With one hand in sending to prison and to death dozens and dozens of the best leaders of Bolshevism, Malinowski should have been the other hand to help the education of tens of thousands of new Bolsheviks through the legal press. Over this fact does not prevent a good think about the German (and also English and American, French and Italian) comrades who are confronted by the task to learn how to conduct revolutionary work in reactionary trade unions.
