SECRET

G. M.!

Look through it, take note. Return it to me at once, in secret.

About the plan: Milyutin is writing nonsense.¹¹⁸ The greatest danger is that of bureaucratising the business of the state economic plan.

That is a great danger. Milyutin does not see it.

I am very much afraid that, approaching the matter from a different angle, you, too, do not see it.

We are beggars. Starving, ruined beggars.

An integral, complete, real plan for us now = “a bureaucratic utopia”.

Do not chase after it.

At once, without delaying a single day or hour, single out, piecemeal, the most important, the minimum number of enterprises and put them on a proper footing.

Let us talk this over personally before your report. Think it over.

Lenin
