TELEGRAM TO K. G. MYASKOV

Myaskov
Gubernia Food Commissar
Samara
Copy to Muss, Co-operative Department
Copy to the Gubernia Committee of the Communist Party

For the amount of friction and misunderstanding with the co-operatives, Samara holds first place. I am surprised
that implementation of the decree of March 20 has not yet
been arranged. I order strict adherence to the instructions
of the People’s Commissariat for Food. Report what has been obstructing your work, who instituted the commission
which dismissed Chairman Mikhailov and other co– operators and on what grounds it is operating. Instead of fighting
individuals, to the annoyance of the co-operative movement, concentrate efforts on political preparation for the
new elections.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
