To:   V. V. OBOLENSKY

18. XII. 1917

Comrade Obolensky, I recommend to you the bearer, Comrade Solovyov (
telephone 265–24), an expert on the oil industry and the
author of a plan for nationalisation. He should be used!

V. Ulyanov

I gave his memorandum (on the oil industry) to
Shlyapnikov. There is a copy for you too (Shlyapnikov has
it). [1]

Notes:
[1]
In his memorandum addressed to Lenin, A. S. Solovyov drew
attention to the Ukhta oilfields and asked that an order be
issued to have them inspected and exploited. He enclosed with the
memo a detailed description of the qualities of the Ukhta oil
based on analyses of it.

Today, the Ukhta district (Komi A.S.S.R.) has a well-developed oil industry, with enterprises for oil extraction and
processing.
