ABSTRACT
In fact the attempt has been made to rewrite the entire history of the Civil War for the purpose of the struggle against 'Trotskyism'-or to put it more honestly, the struggle against Trotsky. On the subject of my military work, which began in the spring of 1918, an attempt has been made, under the guidance of Stalin, to rewrite history. Gusev was formerly a military worker under Trotsky-a member of the Revolutionary Military Soviet of the eastern front. At the Eighth Congress of the party, a group of military delegates criticized the war policy. The Stalins and Voroshilovs have been talking lately as though they dared not appear at the congress and hear these criticisms. How monstrously far that is from the actual fact! Here is the resolution of the Central Committee on the subject of my departure for the front on the eve of the congress.
