Immediately investigate the case of cadet Grigory Nikolsky. Is lawful assistance being provided to his family by the Pechernikovsky volost executive committee? If there are tensions between Nikolsky and the volost executive committee arising from the seizure of the harvest by his brother, a priest, investigate. Report the results to me.
