DECREE ON THE INVOLVEMENT OF WORKERS’ ORGANIZATIONS IN GRAIN PROCUREMENT

with amendments, the nature of which is not specified; only a note appears stating
“German materials.” However, the documents have preserved the decree as amended by Lenin,
which we now publish below. The final draft was entrusted to V. P. Milyutin, A. I. Svidersky,
and A. I. Khmelnitsky. Paragraph 7 of the decree, concerning the participation of detachments
in the harvest, was adopted at the meeting of the Sovnarkom on August 4; it is reasonable to assume
that this addition was made by Lenin, since later he repeatedly drew attention in his notes to A. D.
Tsyurupa (see p. 47–4) to § 7 of the decree, which he often referred to as the “decree on collective trains.”
