NOTES ON THE SPEECHES OF SPEAKERS
"Elementary for an economically literate person" (from the turns of speech of Comrade Larin)...
"No one bothered to me him present it"
III! (approximate Gosplan plan)... Work was done separately.
"The work had to be done without him"...
...{“Instead of closing the Triangle, they decided to close Bogatyr”...)
... "We sought participation, my commission"...

... "To give a less unusable program than the previous one on the basis of unusable data"...
“With my program of industry and transport, I was not guided by this... Gosplan data is fantastic.
I built 300 million poods.
"Everything seems to be already decided"...
Shift from a personal point of view (Smilga)...
"Larin has not seen the work of Gosplan" "I didn't expect this from him" (Larin)...

1 G. M. Krzhizhanovsky's report on Gosplan was heard for the first time at a meeting of the STO on July 8, 1921. The idea of ​​a Gosplan report in the STO arose on the initiative of V. I. Lenin. One of the reasons for its presentation was an article by Yu. Larin in Pravda on June 9, 1921, entitled "Secrets of Soviet Industry." This article sharply criticized Gosplan for the allegedly academic nature of its activities. The author claimed that the expectations placed on this body had clearly not been met. Larin saw one of the reasons for this in the fact that economists – communists were not introduced into Gosplan (this wish was expressed by the All-Russian Central Executive Committee faction).
Lenin was deeply indignant at the entire tone of Larin's article, and in letters of June 10 and 11 addressed to Krzhizhanovsky, he proposed "in two or three weeks to give an overview of the facts of the work" for the report in the STO and dwelt in detail on what materials should be collected for this report.
On June 13, Krzhizhanovsky sent Lenin the first version of his article "To Our Critics." Lenin carefully read it and in a letter of July 2 gave page-by-page comments on it. In the same letter, Lenin formulated the tasks that should be the basis of the report.

On July 4, 1921, in the document "Thoughts on the "plan" of the state economy," Lenin, as if summarizing all his previous advice, gave the main instructions (see *Poln. sobr. soch.*, vol. 44, pp. 63–65).
The STO took note of Krzhizhanovsky's report on Gosplan.
Unfortunately, apart from a brief STO protocol and an incomplete summary of the report on fuel balance issues, no other materials have been found. However, the main provisions of the report, which were carefully thought out, defined and prepared with the help of Lenin, provide the key to understanding the report as a whole (see ibid., vol. 52, pp. 270–271; vol. 53, pp. 7–10; vol. 44, pp. 63–65).
Krzhizhanovsky, Chairman of Gosplan, began his report by clarifying the fuel balance for the second half of 1921. Therefore, the numbered points 1–6 in Lenin’s notes mean recording the figures related to the state of fuel.
2 Here we are talking about the supply of fuel to Petrograd. In 1920, it was planned to allocate 29 million poods for urban home heating, 16 million poods were allocated, and 13 million poods were saved.
3 G. M. Krzhizhanovsky reported that at the Putilov factory, industrial consumption of standard fuel reaches "monstrous proportions" - up to 41/2 thousand poods per month.
4 The report stated that in the Vyksa-Kulebaki metallurgical region, near the Navashino station, there are up to 21/a million poods of scrap metal on the factory tracks, which is approximately 45% of the total production of ferrous metal in the Republic for 1920.
5 Here, perhaps, we are talking about the fact that the metal industry will absorb 45% of the fuel.
6 In G. M. Krzhizhanovsky's report, the calculation of the fuel balance for the second half of 1921 is expressed by the figure 690 million poods.
7 In a letter to G. M. Krzhizhanovsky and the presidium of Gosplan dated May 14, 1921, V. I. Lenin proposed taking food as a starting point when drawing up a plan for restoring the national economy and "trying to calculate a nationwide economic plan for three cases: (1) 200, (2) 250 and (3) 300 million poods of bread in the hands of the state per year (1. IX. 1921 - 1. IX. 1922)" (see *Poln. sobr. soch.*, vol. 43, pp. 260–263).
Krzhizhanovsky's report on food planning and its distribution has not survived. The numbers "440, 390?, 240 (237)" possibly mean Lenin's proposed plans for three cases, with a detailed breakdown of food for different categories of the population.
8 Yu. Larin (M. A. Lurie) - in 1921–1922 - a member of the presidium of Gosplan.
I. T. Smilga - at this time the head of the Main Directorate for Fuel.
V.
V. Fomin - party member since 1910. After the October Socialist Revolution - in responsible economic and Soviet work. In 1918–1920 - member of the collegium of the Cheka. In 1919–1923 worked in the NKPS system, was chairman of the Supreme Council for Transportation, deputy people's commissar of railways.
L. K. Ramzin is a prominent scientist in the field of heat engineering. Since 1920 - Professor of the Moscow Higher Technical School. In 1921–1922 he was a member of Gosplan, then director of the Moscow All-Union Thermal Engineering Institute.
