Speakers at the grave

"Due to the limited time, number of speakers has to be cut... the latter spoke in the name of a few Petrograd comrades & read a paper that outraged everyone at the grave. It was a criticism of K's stand on the war, & of his silence in the last 3 years. Whether criticism justified or not, I considered it absolutely out of place." (Alexander Berkman, Diary 1919-1921, Berkman Papers, IISH)
