The principal agricultural committee and the Minister of Agriculture, directed by Rakitnikov and Vikhiliaev, hastened to finish this work before the convocation of the Constituent Assembly.
With a letter-preface by the citizen, E. Roubanovitch, member of the International Socialist Bureau. To the Executive Committee of the International Socialist Bureau: DEAR COMRADES, The citizen Inna Rakitnikov has lately come from Petrograd to Paris for personal reasons that are peculiarly tragic.
Here, for example, is the account of the manner in which the counter-revolution of the Bolsheviki was accomplished at Saratov, as given by a competent eye-witness, a well-known Russian Socialist whose long and honorable service in the revolutionary movement entitles her to the honor of every friend of Free Russia Inna Rakitnikov: Here ... is how the Bolshevist coup d'état took place at Saratov.
In that lies the guaranty of our future triumph and of the complete liberation of humanity. Working-men of all countries, unite! TCHCHEIDZE, the President. PETROGRAD, April, 1917. A report to the International Socialist Bureau by Inna Rakitnikov, Vice-President of the Executive Committee of the Soviet of Delegates, placing themselves upon the grounds of the defense of the Constituent Assembly.
Here is the testimony of Inna Rakitnikov again, contained in an official report to the International Socialist Bureau: All the non-Bolshevik newspapers were confiscated or prosecuted and deprived of every means of reaching the provinces; their editors' offices and printing-establishments were looted.
What followed is best told in the exact language of a protest to the International Socialist Bureau by Inna Rakitnikov, representative of the Revolutionary Socialist party, which was, be it remembered, the largest and the oldest of the Russian Socialist parties: The coup d'état was followed by various other manifestations of Bolshevist activity arrests, searches, confiscation of newspapers, ban on meetings.
At the same time, without reason, the following were arrested: Minor, a deputy to the Constituent Assembly; Rakitnikov, Ovtchinnikov, Roussine, Sorokine, and Tchernobaiev, members of the Executive Committee of the Soviet of Peasant Delegates; and Chmelev, a soldier.
The citizen Rakitnikov, a member of the Russian Revolutionary Socialist party, has worked for a long time in the ranks of this party as a publicist and organizer and propagandist, especially among the peasants. She has known long years of prison, of Siberia, of exile. Before and during the war until the beginning of the Revolution she lived as a political fugitive in Paris.
While being a partizan convinced of the necessity of national defense of invaded countries against the imperialistic aggression of German militarism in which she is in perfect accord with the members of our party such as Stepan Sletof, Iakovlef, and many other voluntary Russian republicans, all dead facing the enemy in the ranks of the French army the citizen Rakitnikov belonged to the international group.
The Red Guard came there to search, destroying different documents; frequently objects which were found on the premises disappeared. The Yolya Naroda, referred to by Inna Rakitnikov, was the official organ of the Socialist-Revolutionary party. It was raided on several occasions.
