t.Tsyurupa!

It is politically necessary to reshuffle the personnel of the Komprod before starting a new campaign.

So that the peasants see other people.

Not the old officials of the Komprod, hated by the peasantry, but others must carry out the new policy. This is necessary.

Think over how to do it (shuffle from one province to another) and write to me quickly.

Your Lenin.

Fond 2, op. 1, d. 17826 - autograph.

1A.D. Tsyurupa sent V.I. Lenin the following reply on the same day: "After the decision was taken to introduce a prodny tax, the Collegium decided to move the prodny workers. I informed you about this on the eve of your meeting with the Ufa peasants. The reshuffling will be done thoroughly" (RCCHIDNI, f. 2, op. 1, d. 17841).
