In a letter, Lenin
argues forcefully in favor
of a Bolshevik boycott of the Pre-Parliament. Not only would participation
send a mixed message to the party’s adherents about the goals of the party, it
would mean working in the wrong direction. The party should be working where it
has strength, in the soviets, factory committees, trade unions, soldiers
committees; not in a forum got up by the Compromisers and bourgeoisie to cover
up their weakness.
This view of the
matter gained acceptance within the party as the meeting of the Pre-Parliament
approached.
