{1} During the discussion at the fifteenth sitting an April 20 (May 3) of the report and draft resolution of A. A. Bogdanov (Maximov) on the relations between workers and intellectuals in Social-Democratic organisations, some delegates asserted that there was no such problem in the Party, and that there was no need to adopt any resolution on it.
The Congress resolved to defer the matter until the adoption of the Party Rules.
At the nineteenth sitting on April 22 (May 5), the Congress resumed its discussion of the question. A number of resolutions were motioned. Lenin’s draft (see present edition, Vol. 8, pp. 407–08), which he motioned jointly with A. A. Bogdanov, was adopted as a basis for the discussion. Lenin spoke several times (see ibid., pp. 411, 412). By a roll-call vote the Congress decide d not to a d opt any special resolution on the question. Lenin’s proposals were taken into account in the resolution on propaganda and agitation. p. 157
