Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Congress of the Communist International: Proceedings of Petrograd Session of July 17th, and of Moscow Sessions of July 19th-August 7th, 1920 The Second Congress of the Communist International met in Russia at a time when she was in a state of war, and cut off from all other countries by the blockade. The difficulties arising out of such a situation told on the preparation of the steno graphic reports now offered to the public. In consequence of the complete isolation of Russia from the rest of the world, it was impossible to get in time a sufficient staff with a proper mastery of languages, and in particular of German, French and English, to take part in the work of the Congress. And so it happened that there were only two Ger man stenographers, one French, and no English at all. This was the reason for the deplorable delay in bringing out this report. The transcription from the shorthand notes alone has claimed two months' time. By the time the work of editing commenced, most of the delegates had already gone. It was found that the text was in many places mutilate-d, and that there were many omissions quotations by the speakers from the theses from newspapers and books, amendments introduced, were missing altogether and finally many speeches, particularly those delivered in English, were only in the German or French translation. To make the text read sense required' a great deal of time. A whole number of omissions and gaps could not be reconstructed at all.
