Comrade Sosnovsky!

I have received your letter regarding Yezhov.

I very much doubt that we can allocate 1–1½ thousand workers and employees,
and 1¼–1½ million rubles (Soviet currency) per month.

Hardly.

I propose: to institute bonuses for the swift unloading of warehouses at production enterprises—state factories, mills, state farms, and the like.

As for your other suggestions, I believe Yezhov should take the lead on those (and I’ll need a copy for myself).

A precise and concise draft.

With revolutionary greetings, Lenin
