Notes

{1} On July 2, 1918, the C.P.C. heard an out-of-order statement by Lenin concerning “the need for meeting the peasants’ requirements in agricultural machines” and adopted this draft decision in this connection (Central Party Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the C.C. of the C.P.S.U.).

{2} This refers to the Fifth All-Russia Congress of Soviets (held in Moscow July 4-10, 1918).
