LENIN ON ORGANIZATION many of them at greater length. I got the impres- sion that in this resolution we have made a great mistake, that we have ourselves cut off the path to further progress. As I said, the resolution is an excellent one: I would put my name to all of its 55 or more paragraphs. But we have not under- stood how to bring our Russian experience to the foreigner. Everything said in that resolution has remained a dead letter. If we do not grasp this we shall not get any further. I think that the most important thing for us all, both Russian comrades and foreign comrades, after five years of the Russian revolution is to learn. We have only just obtained the opportunity of learning. I do not know how long this opportunity will last, I do not know how long the capitalist powers will allow us the opportunity of learning. But every moment we have free from military activities, from war, we must devote to study. The whole Party and every section of the popula- tion of Russia is showing great enthusiasm for study. That enthusiasm shows that the great task for us also now is to study. Our foreign comrades must also study. Of course, not in the same way as we study,—reading, writ- ting, and the understanding of what we have read, which for us is so necessary. There is a conflict of opinions as to whether this belongs to proletarian or bourgeois culture. I know nothing about that, but in any case I will say that we must learn to read, to write and understand what we have read. 298
