REMARK IN THE DEBATE ON THE RESOLUTION ON THE AGRARIAN QUESTION
APRIL 28 (MAY 11)

Solovyov believes that the most essential should be stated at the head of the resolution: that the Party demands the nationalisation of the land.

This amendment is not very essential. I put nationalisation in third place, because initiative and revolutionary action must come first, while nationalisation is a law ex pressing the people’s will. I motion against.
