LENIN, Vladimir Il'ich Ulianov (1870-1924). Important autograph letter signed addressed to Anton Nemec (in Prague), Paris, 1 November 1911, in German, referring to the clandestine arrangements to hold the All-Russia Conference of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) in Prague, 3 pages, 8vo, on a bifolium, the address written at the foot of the third page, autograph envelope; and KRUPSKAIA, Nadezhda Konstantinovna (1869-1939). Autograph envelope addressed to Anton Nemec, inscribed on the verso 'Exp. Vl. Oulianoff [i.e. Lenin], 4 rue Marie Rose, Paris XIe', postmarked Paris, 29 April [19]12, enclosing a printed leaflet entitled 'Der Anonymus aus dem Vorwaerts und die Sachlage in der Sozialdemokratischen Arbeiter Partei Russlands', 12 pages, small 8°, explaining the results of the Prague Conference.
Lenin seeks Nemec's assistance in connection with the convening of a Conference, 'abroad of course', for twenty or twenty-five members, asking whether it could be organised in Prague. He emphasises that 'The most important thing for us the possibility of organising it in extreme secrecy. No one, not a single organisation, must get to hear of it (the Conference is to be Social-Democratic and consequently legal according to European laws, but most of the delegates do not possess Passports and cannot give their real names)', and asks Nemec to suggest a comrade in Paris who could handle the practical arrangements, preferably one who understands Russian but if that is impossible they will make themselves understood in German. The letter concludes 'with Party greetings'.
The Sixth All-Russian Conference of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party was held in Prague from 5-17 (18-30) January 1912. The Czech Social Democrats rendered great assistance in the organisation of the Conference, offering premises and providing accomodation for the delegates. The conference was attended by the majority of active members of the RSDLP in Russia so constituted a full assembly of the party. Under the leadership of Lenin the conference formally expelled the Menshiviks (who were represented by two delegates) and others not classified as Bolsheviks, adding that appellation to the party's name. Among other topics it discussed the nationalization of private land, to counter famine, the republican revolution in China and British imperialism in Iran.
Anton Nemec (1858-1926) was one of the leaders of the Czech Social-Democrats, whom he represented in the Second International.
