I propose that we should take into consideration the statement by Comrade Sosnovsky and others on the desirability of limiting the debate on the O.C. report to the formal aspect only. Comrade Andreyev’s resolution fails to achieve its aim.{1} The comrades wanted to have a discussion only on the legality of convening the Congress and not in substance. To discuss the report in substance is equivalent to discussing the Party crisis. The bureau will keep speakers within the limits of a discussion on the legality of convening the Congress.

{1} N. A. Alexeyev (Andreyev) motioned this resolution: “The O.C. report shall be discussed in factual terms, and not in terms of principle or morality”. In the debate on this question, Andreyev adhered to the resolution motioned by Lenin (see p. 147), which was adopted by the Congress. p. 146
