 Moscow. History will not forgive us if we do not seize power now.

There is no machinery? There is one; the Soviet and the democratic organisations. Precisely now, on the eve of the separate peace between the English and Germans, the international situation is in our favour. At this moment to propose peace to the people is to conquer.

Seize power now simultaneously at Moscow and at Petrograd (little matter which begins; perhaps Moscow can do so), we are certain of victory.
