Lenin wrote to Luxemburg: "Your article against the otzovists and ultimatumists[/URL] has pleased everyone very much (https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1909/may/18rl.htm#fwV34E387); it is a pity that you write so rarely in Russian;"

Where can this article be found?

The article referred to was “Revolutionary Hangover” published in Proletary No. 44, April 8 (21), 1909.

«Революционное похмелье» is the title in Russian (напечатанная в No 44 газеты «Пролетарий» 8 (21) апреля 1909 года).

It's mentioned in a 1969 Russian book on Menzhinsky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyacheslav_Menzhinsky) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyacheslav_Menzhinsky)(Rosa Luxemburg sharply criticized the Vperyodists for their "revolutionary adventurism."), but it doesn't seem the authors had read it.

So this seems a lost article by Luxemburg :crying:

Sorry, Noa, are you saying this is a previously-untranslated Luxemburg article?

If you are... awesome work. Thanks.
