"Bolshevism The Enemy of Political and Industrial Democracy"


With a letter-preface by the citizen, E. Roubanovitch, member of the
International Socialist Bureau.
_To the Executive Committee of the International Socialist
Bureau_:
DEAR COMRADES,--The citizen Inna Rakitnikov has lately
come from Petrograd to Paris for personal reasons that are
peculiarly tragic. At the time of her departure the Executive
Committee of the Second Soviet of Peasant Delegates of All-Russia,
of which she is one of the vice-presidents, requested her to make
to the International Socialist Bureau a detailed report of the
fights that this organization had to make against the Bolsheviki
in order to realize the convocation of the Constituent Assembly.
This is the report under the title of a document that I present
here, without commentary, asking you to communicate it without
delay to all the sections of the International. Two words of
explanation, only: First, I wish to draw your attention to the
fact that this is the second time that the Executive Committee of
the Soviet of the Peasants of All-Russia addresses itself publicly
to the International.
At the time of my journey to Stockholm in the month of September,
1917, I made, at a session of the Holland, Scandinavian committee,
presided over by Branting, a communication in the name of the
Executive Committee of the Soviet of Peasants.
