ABSTRACT
In Lenin's article against Pitirim Sorokin, Lenin plainly states that the policy of agreement with the middle peasant is dictated by the swing-over of the middle peasant to our side. Lenin's slogan regarding agreement with the middle peasant was proclaimed by the whole Party as a new slogan at the Eighth Party Congress. The Eighth Party Congress was the very Congress which laid the foundation of our policy of a firm alliance with the middle peasant. The programme of the cpsu was adopted also at the Eighth Party Congress. The programme contains special points dealing with the attitude of the Party towards the various groupings in the village. The policy of the workers' and peasants' government and of the Communist Party must therefore continue to be conducted in the spirit of agreement between the proletariat together with the poor peasantry and the middle peasantry.
