Why should you not submit a separate decree for calling in experts (electricians) from abroad and allocating 500,000 rubles for this purpose? It would be effective (and polit- ically useful).

You are making a mistake in “going out” for “something big” and overlooking the small. Go after the little bird. There are small firms outside the trusts. These firms can make (sometimes sell) spare parts and the like.

What about a commission of Central Committee men to hustle things and check up? Or reports once a week? Or something else? Who is keeping an eye on this? Who is pushing things? No one. Who has selected the best repair-shops? What results are there from the 200-pood bonus per locomotive? What about putting Rozengolts personally in charge of this, perhaps plus someone else? We’ve passed a decree and gone to sleep.... 367 Written after March 1 6 , 1 9 2 0 First published in 1 9 6 5 Printed from the original in Collected Works, Fifth Ed., Vol. 5 1 359 TELEGRAM TO B. I.

Gorky Petrograd In reply to your letter of 5/III, I quote the text of the telegram which the People’s Commissariat for Food sent to Badayev: “Pending final settlement by a special com- mission of the Council of People’s Commissars of the ques- tion of improving the position of scientists, you are instruct- ed to continue supplies according to the plan previously adopted by you, i.e., without making a reduction in keep- Food.” Pokrovsky’s commission is appealing against the Petrograd list as being unfair. Sapozhnikov was released on 9/III. Manukhin has to present to Semashko, People’s Commissar for Health, a description of the method of the proposed research, on the results of the examination of which the decision depends.

To the Members of the Politbureau: I propose sending a code telegram to Eliava and Rud- zutak: “We insist on the strictest fulfilment of the C.C. deci- sions on foreign policy. Remove Heller and Broido from office immediately and completely. Hand over all affairs to Golub, Mashitsky and Gopner alone. Fulfil immedia- tely all the other directives of the C.C. and report precise fulfilment. We warn you that further procrastination or evasion on your part from subordination to the Central Committee of the Party will entail penalties.”

Comrade Rykov The seizure of 15 million poods of petrol in Grozny 3 7 4
compels us to adopt a number of urgent and important measures, such as: * Underlined by Lenin.—Ed. V. I. L E N I N 364
1. Especially strict safeguarding of petrol. Military measures. Special responsibility of army men. 2. Calculation: how much we need (maximum). The remainder—abroad for locomotives. 3. Collection of lorries (from everywhere, particularly from the army) and their repair for transporting grain to the railway stations. 4. Mobilisation of lorries and drivers for this purpose. 5. Transport of petrol to central depots. Perhaps you will call a conference (of people from the Commissariat for Food and the military department) on this question and submit a proposal from the conference to the Council of Defence? Please do this urgently. Lenin 28/III.
Written on March 2 8 , 1 9 2 0 First published in 1 9 3 3 Printed from the original in Lenin Miscellany XXIV 567 TO N. N. KRESTINSKY Comrade Krestinsky, It is necessary to keep to the law. By law the final decision is the decision of the Orgbu- reau, which has already rejected the protest of the Ukrain- ian Central Committee. This decision of the Orgbureau Yakovlev (and the Uk- rainian C.C.) is obliged to fulfil at once. 375 I agree to an opinion poll without recognising the right of the poll to hold up the decision, for only the plenum has that right, and I demand the right of agitation.

A friendly letter (so as not to hurt his feelings) should be sent to him in the name of the Central Committee with the latter’s decision that the C.C. demands that state prop- erty should not be squandered, that the best doctor should be called in (through Karakhan, say) and should be obeyed, and that, if the doctor advises, he must go on leave and
Written in 1 9 2 0 , not later than March First published in 1 9 3 3 Printed from the original in Lenin Miscellany XXIV 569 TO A. D. TSYURUPA Comrade Tsyurupa, It was stated in the Politbureau that army transports from Siberia should be replaced by food transports (in view of the victories in the south). The decision was not put ill writing because Trotsky, who was in full agreement, had already issued orders. The member of the Supreme Council for Transport from the Commissariat for Food should keep his eyes open. Yours,

On account of this give them up to ** 200 million. In a few days Narimanov will leave for Petrovsk in accordance with your proposal. You can tell Mr. Uratadze in your name that the government does not object to his coming to Moscow, but I fully agree with you that there should be no hurry with his leaving Rostov for Moscow, in view of which I leave it to your discretion to fix the day of his departure. 376 On the question of land relations you can act independently, reporting, how- ever, on the measures you take in this sphere.

574 TO F. E. DZERZHINSKY 16. IV. 1920 Comrade Dzerzhinsky, Give instructions, please, for a very strict check-up. Cannot impartial people, not Petrograders, be appointed for the check-up? I have heard also from another source (besides the pres- ent letters&Kalmykova) that in this case the local Cheka behaved scandalously. The matter must be sifted to the bottom, and quickly. Be so kind, when the case is finished, to return to me the enclosed documents and have your secretary send me a telephone message about the result. 377

APRIL 20, 1920 576 UNDERLININGS AND AN INSTRUCTION ON A. V. LUNACHARSKY’S LETTER Comrade V. I. Lenin, Chairman of the Council of People’s Com- missars You forwarded me a telegram from Kazan complaining about the lack of currency notes. I have received similar telegrams from Vyatka and Vologda gubernias. In all these places, because of the lack of money, teachers have not received salaries for three months. Thus, it turns out that in the absolutely starving gubernias teach- ers go hungry for lack of foodstuffs, while in the producing guber- nias such as those of Kazan, Vologda and Vyatka, in which teachers in fact could feed themselves, they are starving through lack of money. I earnestly request you, Vladimir Ilyich, to issue some sort of di- rective or to put this before the Council of People’s Commissars, so that currency notes issued for the needs of the gubernias will be divided proportionately, i.e.: where there is a 10-20% shortage, this shortage should be spread among all the departments. Otherwise. what happens in practice is that absolutely all, except those engaged in education, receive their salaries.... To the Narrow Council: please put this through. Even more: it is necessary to give preference to teachers. Lenin 17/IV.
