shevist organization called T"Labor' S
Truth" participated in the distribu-
ton amongst party members of secret
documents of the New Opposition.
A The growing factional activity
II of the New Opposition led it to
play with the idea of two parties and
intensified the anti-Leninist deviations
of the opposition to the utmost; dis
belief in the forces of the proletariat
and pessimism towards the work of
socialist development in general and
towards the development of socialist
industry in particular a tendency to-
wards the destruction of the alliance
of the proletariat with the peasantry
middle peasants), i. e., rejection of
the principles, which according to
Lenin is the supreme principle Of
the proletarian Dictatorship, a tend
ency towards the support and back
ing of ultra-right deviations bordering
ON Menshevism in our party (for in
stance, the group of Comrade Sergei
Medvedyeff, the former leader of the
so-called workers opposition" which
went so far as to want to turn our
socialist state industry over to for
eign capital, went so far as to speak
of the liquidation of the Comintern
and of the r. /. l.. u, etc, that is,
the liquidation of all the revolution
airy goals of our party; a tendency
towards bloc on an international
scale with the ultra-lefts such as
Korsch, as we'll as with the ultra
rights such as Souvarine, who, after
expulsion from the Communist Inter
national, are carrying on a furious at
tack upon the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat in the Soviet Union Under the
pretext of an alleged kulak degenera-
tion of our party. The new opposition
brings no new concrete proposals, op-
crates with left phraseology, which
masks a right opportunist content, and
is going over to more and more mad
missible methods, which lead to a
split.

~ position was not confined to our
party, but endeavored to draw the ap-
paratus of the E. C. c. l. into the strug-
gle and thru it to propagate the views
of the opposition, which had been con-
demned by our party, in other sister
parties, and thus to prepare the ground
for stirring up of foreign Communist
Parties against the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union. We must re-
mark that the first endeavor of the
new opposition to turn from the right
full defense of it's views to the path of
conspirative factional struggle was
manifested in acts of collaboratOrs of
the e. G. c. l., who were directly con-
nected with Comrade ZinoYiev and
who attempted to create factionaI
groups in various parties of the Comm
tern (the case of Comrades Guralski
and Vuyovitch). However, altho this
case was condemned by the delegation
of the C. P. S. U. in the E. C. c. I.
and by the Politbureau of the central
committee, the utilization of,the E. c.
G. l. apparatus for fractional ends is
being continued aforementioned trip
of Comrade G. Byelenki, collaboration
of the e. c. c. l., to Odessa to.organize
a faction as we'll as the arrangement
of illegal factional meeting in a Mos
COW district.
e The new opposition did not want
VI to make use of the uhdeniable
right of every party member to de-
fend his own point of view, insofar as
they do not run counter to the de-
cisions Of the party, but preferred to
arrange meetings which were kept Sc
cret from the party and its members
and to form an illegal faction, instead
of an open and frank expression of
its own views within the party organ
ization on the basis of the party stat
utes.
