ABSTRACT
A series of documents issued by the Bolsheviks in May, June, and July 1917, were written by the author or with his editorial participation. To this series belong, for instance, the declaration of the Bolshevik fraction of the Soviet Congress as to the proposed advance on the front, the letter to the Executive Committee from the Central Committee of the Bolshevik party in the days of the June demonstration, and others. One of the 'Marxist historians' of the new style attempted not long ago to discover disagreements between the author and Lenin on the subject of the July uprising: A spontaneous uprising of the Petrograd workers and soldiers against the Provisional Government. Trotsky remained free for a time, but on the twenty-third of July was arrested and remained in prison until the fourth of September. They boycott the Pre-parliament. They abandon the Soviet of Workers', Soldiers', and Peasants' Deputies, and go to the trade-unions, go to the masses in general.
