1. He lashed the Organising Committee for its vacillations and abrupt changes of front, for its quasi-Iskra-ism, but then brought the vacillators and quasi-Iskra-ists into the Central Committee.

2. He always defended Iskra’s ideas of organisation (What Is to Be Done?), but secured the incorporation of a Jaurèsist first clause in the Rules.

3. He agreed to the editorial board being reorganised into a trio, but then fought at the Congress for a board of six quand même.[All the same.–Ed.]
