NOTE TO I. V. STALIN AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PRESIDIUM OF the All-Russia Central Executive Committee
May 15, 1919
Tsiurupa receives 2,000 rubles, family of 7 people, lunches at 12 rubles
(and dinner), per day 84 x 30 = 2,520 rubles.
They are not eating enough! They take 4 lunches; that is not enough. The children are teenagers,
they need more than an adult.
I request to increase his salary to 4,000 rubles and give, in addition to that,
a one-time allowance of 5,000 rubles to the family, which arrived from
Ufa without clothes.
Please reply.
Lenin
