3rd Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party

Leonid Krasin and Lyubimov initiated contact with the Bolsheviks and signed an agreement with Gusev and Rumyantsev for the setting up of the 3rd Congress.

[2] It was the Congress of the Bolsheviks only with a handful of Mensheviks, who organised an alternative conference in Geneva.

Krasin and Alexander Bogdanov were appointed to the "Russian Bureau of the Central Committee" charged with bringing together the two factions.

[2] Besides the routine topics, the agenda included the issues of the Russian Revolution of 1905.

Lenin wanted the party to support Japan in its war on Russia (Joseph Pilsudski used the same tactic).
