  ^[145] In his articles and letters to the Central Committee and the Bolshevik organisations written while in hiding in Septemher 1917, V. I. Lenin issued the slogan "All Power to the Soviets" as the immediate task of organisation of an armed uprising (see V. I. Lenin, Draft Resolution on the Present Political Situation, The Bolsheviks Must Assume Power, and Marxism and Insurrection ). When V. I. Lenin's letters were discussed in the Central Committee on September 15, J. V. Stalin gave an emphatic rebuff to the capitulator Kamenev, who demanded that the documents should be destroyed. J. V. Stalin proposed that the letters be circulated to the largest Party organisations for consideration. On October 10, 1917, the historic meeting of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party took place, with the participation of V. I. Lenin, J. V. Stalin, Y. M. Sverdlov, F. E. Dzerzhinsky and M. S. Uritsky, at which the resolution on an armed uprising, drafted by Lenin, was adopted (see V. I. Lenin, Selected Work, F.L.P.H., Moscow, 1952, Vol. II, Part 1, pp. 189-90).    [p.764]
