Abstract
After sending this issue to the press, the editorial team passed a resolution to establish the journal Svobodnaia mysl'. The name Kommunist will appear on the cover one last time because, for technical reasons, it was printed in advance and could no longer be changed. We are not changing one word in the material in the issue, which was prepared earlier. In subsequent issues of the journal, we plan a serious discussion of what is taking place in the country. The editorial team asks the readers to support the theoretical and political journal Svobodnaia mysl', an open tribune of the left-wing democratic forces.
