ABSTRACT
In the year, 1921, the year of the Tenth Congress of the party, occurred the Third Congress of the Comintern. At this Third Congress there developed a profound struggle upon fundamental questions of Communist politics. That struggle was transferred into our Politburo. The struggle was a big one throughout all the parties of the Comintern, and Vladimir Ilych. After the conference, Vladimir Ilych sent for Comrade Kamenev in order to assure himself of a majority in the Politburo. Concerning the general task of the magazine Under the Banner of Marxism, Comrade Trotsky in Numbers 1 and 2 said all that was essential, and said it excellently. The only accident was the fact that this solidarity happened to be so clearly recorded in the press. Throughout the whole speech of Lenin about the Third Congress recurs this sharp emphasis upon his complete solidarity with Trotsky.
