Speech at a Meeting of The Council of People’s Commissars
Delivered on November 16, 1917.
Ultimatum from the C.C. Majority
"It stands to reason, a split would be highly deplorable. But an honest and open split would now be incomparably better than internal sabotage, the thwarting of our own decisions, disorganisation and prostration."
