the line which they defend; the fact that the
line which they defend leads effectively, not to
the victory of Socialism, but to the victory of
capitalism. Voices: Hear, hear.) (2) that they

Voices: Hear, hear. Loud applause)
This is what the Congress demands of the
former leaders of the Right opposition.
Do these demands involve anything degrad-
ing from people who wish to remain Bolshe-
visits?
1t is clear that there can be nothing degrad-
ing in these demands. Every Boshevist, every
real reyoutionist, every Party member with
any self-respect, will comprehend that he can
only advance, only gain in the eyes of the
Party, when he openly and sincerely acknowl-
edges the clear and indisputable facts.
Hence | am of the opinion that Comrade
Tomskys utterances about being banished in
to the desert of Cobb, AMI being forced to live
on locusts and wild honey are nothing but the
empty phrases of provincial debating society,
and have nothing to do with the dignity of a
revolutionist. daughter, applause.)
1t may be asked why the Congress submits
afresh these demands to the former leaders of
the Right opposition Were these demands not
made to them at the November Plenum of the
Central Committee in 1929? Did not the for
mer leaders of the Right opposition agree to
these demands at that time, renounce their line,
admit its erroneousness, and promise to fight
for the correct line of the Party? To be sure,
all this is true. What then is the present ques-
ton? The question is that they have not kept
their promises: that they have not fulfilled,
and are not fulfilling, the obligations which
they undertook seven months ago. Voices:
TrueD Comrade UgIanov was perfectly re,

when he declared in his speech that they have
failed to fulfil the obligations which hey un-
dertook at the November Plenum Of the Cen
trail Committee.
This is the source of the mistrust which
they have encountered at this Congress.
This is the reason why the Congress renews
its demands.
Comrades Rykow, Tomsky and Uglanov have
complained here that the Party Congress has
shown mistrust towards them. But who is to
blame for this? They themselves are to blame;
people who do not fulfil their; obligations cam
not expect trust.
Were the former leaders Of the Right OPP
position given the opportunity, had they the
possibility of fulfilling their promises, and
drawing line through their past? To be sure
they had. But what have they done in these
seven months towards utilizing these oppor-
tunities and possibilities Nothing!-
Comrade Rykow recently attended the Ural
Party Conference. Here he had the best OPP
portunities of making good his errors. And
what happened? Instead of breaking openly
and resolutely with his vacillations, he began
a pantomime and maneuvering. The Ural Con-
ference was naturally obliged to oppose him.
Now compare the speech made by Comrade
Rykow at the Ural Conference with his speech
at the Sixteenth Party Congress. A wide
chasm separates the two speeches. There PAN
tomime and maneuver, struggle with the Ural
Conference. Here he strives openly and loudly
to admit his errors endeayors to break with
the Right opposition, and promises to aid the
Party in it's struggle against the deviations.
Whence this difference? How is it to be. ex-
planned? The obvious explanation is the threat
ening situation of the former leaders Of the
Right opposition in the Party. Hence it is not
to be wondered at that the Party Congress has
had the distinct impression that there is moth
ing to be done with these people without exer-
- pressure upon them. General laughter.

There is a Ukraine within the Soviet Union,
but there is another krane belonging to other

This is how the matter stands in regard TO
the question of the natonalities in general,
and of the points raisel by the question put
to us here in particular.
l should now like to pass on to the problem
of the former leaders of the Right opposition.
What does the Party Congress demand of
the former leaders of the Right opposition?
Repentance perhaps? Most certainly not! Our
Party, and the Party Congress never demands
anything of our comrades which could humli-
ate them. The Party Congress demands of the
former leaders of the Right opposition three

Comrade Stains Concluding Speech at the XVI Party
Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

pare his speech at Tiflis with his attitude at
this Party Congress, where he has openly and
directly acknowledged his opportunist errors
as leader of the Central Council of the Trade
Unions of the Soviet Union. Again the chasm
between the two speeches. How is this differ
ence to be explained? BY that same dangerous
position which has arisen for the former lead
ers of the Right opposition. Is it then a mat
ter of wonder that the Party Congress has
endeavored to exercise pressure on these COM
rades to the end that they may be induced to
fulfil their obligations? daughter, applause.)
This is the source of the mistrust which
these comrades still encounter in the Party.
What is the explanation of this more than
remarkable behavior the part of the former
leaders of the Right opposition?
What is the explanation of the fact that they
have not made one single attempt during the
period just past, to fulfil their obligations Of
their own free WILL without external pressure?
The explanation lies chiefly in two circum-
stances.
Firstly, they have not been quite convinced
of the correctness of the Party line, and have
been quietly continuing their fractional work,
awaiting time and good counsel and the OPP
portunity to come forward openly against the
Party They have met together in their frac-
tional meetings and have discussed Party mat
tiers, generally resolving: Let us wait till spring,
perhaps the Party will suffer defeat in the
spring sowings-then we can advance as We
should.

II is clear that we have already entered the
neriod of Socialism, for the socialist sector now
holds all the levers of our whole national
economy in its hands, although we are still
far from the completion of the socialist struc-
ture. and from the abolition of class differ
ences. And yet the national languages not only
do not die out and merge in the common Ian
guage but on the contrary, the national cul-
lures and national languages develop and
flourish. 1t is clear that the theory OF the
diving out of the national languages and their
merging into one uniform language within
the confines of one state, in the period OF
developed socialist, reconstruction, in the period
of Socialism in one country, is wrong, anti
Marxist, and anti-Leninist theory.
Secondly, the writers of the question are
not clear on the point that the question OF the
diving out of the national languages, and OF
their merging in one uniform language, is not
an internal question of one state, not ques-
ton of the victory of Socialism in one country
but an international question, question OF the
victory of Socialism on an international scale.
The writers of this question have not grasped
that the victory of Socialism in one country
must not be confused with the victory of So
cia1ism on an international scale. 1t was not
for nothing that Lenin said that the national
differences will continue to exist for long
time. even after the victory of the dictatorship
of The proletariat on an international scale.
Besides this, still another circumstance must
be take. into account, coming IN question Tor
