May Day Speech by Russian Worker

too are human beings with human
rights, and that they must pass on
their recognition of these rights to
their fellows, and organize them in
groups.
The following is part of the
speech of the worker, Igor Afanasev:
Comrades, should like to speak
few words on this occasion, so
solemn to all of us, which we are
celebrating after the example set
us by our brothers, the. West Euro
pean workers.
Brothers, let us enjoy the first
bright moments of joy dawning on
the horizon of Russian life. AL
though our Western brothers have
long been able to celebrate such fes-
rivals, whilst we are = just be-
ginning, and even that illegally, still
it is good that we are actually be-
ginning. 1t is good that we are at
last awakening from the long sleep
which we have slept beneath the
yoke of our rulers, Of the priests,
and of the tsar.
We see how the small seeds thus
scattered have sprung up, how their
fruit is maturing and finding it's
way into every part Of Russia. The
truth is spreading, but everywhere,
it finds enemies in it's path: the
great landowners, the priests, the
rulers, and the tsar, with their po-
lice and their soldiery. A mighty
battle is being fought. Tens of
thousands of our youth have already
persisted in the SHOWS of Siberia, in
the dungeons Of the Peter Paul for
tress and the Schlusselberg. Let us
begin to fight for our cause our
selves. The commencement will not
be easy. Every step we take, every

small advance, is threatened with
Punishment and prison. But can we
shrink back, comrades, when it is
question of life and death?
Although poverty and misery
have already spread far and wide,
this has not satisfied our rulers
representatives Of the nobility have
been appointed as officials, that the
workers may be more brutally treat
ed, that starvation and misery, dis
ease and dc=-,l, may reap a greater
harvest among our women and chill
dren. Like leeches they suck our
blood; they transform us into a diff
ferent race of human beings, pale,
weak, and diseased. And to what
end? That a small handful of fac
tory owners, landowners, officials
and the tsar, may live in luxury,
drunkenness, and gluttony. For
these brute beasts the hundreds of
millions of the people are to Ian
guish in the letters of serfdom. In
these chains we cannot rise, cannot
move, cannot breathe.
Comrades, at fir. we shall find
it difficult indeed to take up this
struggle against our enemies, and
to fight for our economic and po-
litical rights. But remember that
at the present mor.ent there are
thousands of intellectuals in ST.
IBERIA, in prisons, in penal servitude,
and that they are there for our
sakes. Remember that it has not
been easy for our brothers, the
workers of Western Europe, to i'm
prove their position, and that it can
not be easy for us to improve ours
under the rule Of the despotic reac-
ton which dogs our every footstep.
Comrades, the difficulties will be
great. But science has freed the

(The following is a speech de-
livered by Russian worker, N. ID.
Bogdanov, at an illegal meeting
held on May LIST, 1892, practically
the first held in Petrograd.-Ed.)
Comrades. Today must be an I'M
forgettable day for US. Today we
have been successful, for the first
time, in gathering together from
every part of Petersburg in this
modest meeting, and for the first
time we hear the enthusiastic words
of our fellow workers, calling upon
us to take up the fight against our
mighty political and economic
enemy. Comrades, this enemy is SO
powerful, we know so little where
his power lies, and our own COM
rades are so few, that some Of us
have not been able to help despair
ing of our victory, and have left our
ranks in fear and despair.
But no, comrades, we must have
faith in our victory. We must arm
ourselves with that most powerful
of weapons, the weapon Of knowl-
edge of the historical laws of the de-
velopment of the human race. Only
when we are armed with this wea-
pom can we defeat the enemy every
where.
No pressure which can be put
upon US, no ent.lted loss of liberty,
no prison, and not even Punishment
to Siberia, can deprive us of this
weapon. Wherever we are we shall
find opportunity of laying the foun-
dations of our victory, and every
where we shall spread abroad our
knowledge: at home we can en-
tighten the peasantry, and in the
prisons we can help our fellow pris-
oners to the knowledge that they
