Key passages
“Plekhanov’s paper, Yedinstvo , suspended publication a few weeks after the Bolsheviki seized the power. Contrary to popular report, Yedinstvo was not suppressed by the Soviet Government; an announcement in the last number admitted that it was unable to continue because there were too few subscribers.”

Clarifies the reason for Yedinstvo's closure.
