REPLY TO PEASANTS OF SKOPIN UYEZD [1]

To impose the extraordinary tax on peasants with below average income is illegal . Measures have been taken to
lighten the taxation of middle peasants. In a few days there
will be a decree. [2] Regarding the remaining questions,
I shall make immediate inquiries of the People’s Commissars
and a reply will be sent to you.
