4th Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party

Among the Bolshevik delegates were Vladimir Lenin, Alexander Bogdanov, Leonid Krasin, Mikhail Frunze, Mikhail Kalinin, Nadezhda Krupskaya, Anatoly Lunacharsky, Fyodor Sergeyev (Artyom), Stepan Shahumyan, Ivan Skvortsov-Stepanov, Joseph Stalin, Kliment Voroshilov, Maxim Litvinov and V. V.

[citation needed] The main items on the Congress agenda were the agrarian question, an appraisal of the current situation and the class tasks of the proletariat, the attitude to the Duma, and organisational matters.

[citation needed] The preponderance of Mensheviks at the Congress, while slight, determined its character; the Congress adopted Menshevik resolutions on a number of questions (the agrarian programme, the attitude to the Duma, etc.).

The Congress approved the first clause of the Rules concerning Party membership in the wording proposed by Lenin.

[citation needed] The Congress elected the 4th Central Committee made up of three Bolsheviks (Vasily Desnitsky, Krasin and Rykov) and seven Mensheviks (Vladimir Rozanov, Viktor Krokhmal, Lyubov Radchenko, Pavel Kolokolnikov, Gorev, Khinchuk, Bakhmetyev),[1] and a Menshevik editorial board of Central Body.
