In Search of a Napoleon



Written: ~ 10 May, 1917
First Published: Pravda No. 53, May 10 (23), 1917




The newspaper of ex-Minister Milyukov is so furious with the Mensheviks and
Socialist-Revolutionaries for having forced certain individuals out of the
cabinet that it lets itself be forced into making rather "indiscreet"
statements.
"How can we tolerate such criminal propaganda?"-we read in an unsigned article
of May 9 on the question of fraternisation. "Will this never be put a Stop to?
Must we have a Napoleon? Must we be content with mere talk about iron
discipline?"
A delicate, a very delicate hint alluding to Kerensky's notorious words about
iron discipline.
Rech gives its readers a true and accurate picture of what is going on in "our"
"new" government. We thank Rech from the bottom of our hearts for this
truthfulness, which is exceptionally rare in such a newspaper and which has been
called forth by exceptional circumstances.
In the 'new" government Kerensky, supported by Chernov and Tsereteli, proclaims
"iron discipline" for the army (in order to carry out the imperialist programme
for an offensive).
And the landowners and capitalists, who have ten out of the sixteen posts in the
cabinet, fume at Kerensky: "Must we be content with mere talk about iron
discipline?"
Is it not clear that this phrase is calculated to inspire Kerensky or some
suitable" general to take upon himself the role of a Napoleon, the role of a
strangler of freedom, the role of an executioner of the workers?
