On becoming acquainted on the second day after the bloody events in Petersburg with my pamphlet, then in manuscript, Parvus was captured by the idea of the exceptional role which the proletariat of backward Russia was destined to play. Those few days which we spent together in Munich were filled with conversations which clarified a good deal for both of us and which brought us personally closer together.
Matapos basahin ang aking munting—aklat sa sulat—kamay, mismong kinabukasan matapos ang madugong pangyayari sa Petersburg, pinuno ang pag—iisip ni Parvus sa natatanging papel na kinakailangang gampanan ng proletaryado ng atrasadong Rusya. Pinuno ang ilang araw na magkasamang ginugol sa Munich ng mga talakayan na naglinaw lalo para sa aming pareho at nagdala sa amin sa pagiging malapit sa personal.
