ABSTRACT
The Bolshevik Central Committee was not invited to attend a meeting preparatory to an international conference scheduled for the fall. Lenin angrily sent Inessa to pursue the Swiss hosts of the conference. The conference was held at Zimmerwald between September 5th and 8th. The Zimmerwald movement, which emerged from this conference, was an internationalist-socialist protest against war. After the Zimmerwald conference, Lenin exhausted, returned to Soerenberg where Krupskaya was still under treatment. Keskuela, in a report dated September 30, 1915, warned that social patriots like Plekhanov and Axelrod were working for the defeat of Germany, and that they possessed ample means from the government, presumably the tsarist government. The Germans transmitted his various communications to Sweden, occasionally neglecting those with which they were not in agreement; they also relayed news from Russia to him, carefully reading the information before delivery. In April, Lenin participated in the conference at Kienthal, the second meeting of the Zimmerwald group.
