This pamphlet documents the Radek affair, when the mainly Warsaw based Polish Social Democracy split away from the directives of the Berlin, i.e. exile headquarters. Rosa Luxemburg’s and Lenin’s animosities became manifest in 1912, when Lenin defended Karl Radek, who was accused of embezzlement of party funds.
