Simbirsk
Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars

Inform me by telegraph of the circumstances and conditions surrounding the election of chairmen of the Chuvash women's and men's teacher training seminaries. I am interested in the fate of Inspector Ivan Yakovlevich Yakovlev, who has devoted 50 years to the national advancement of the Chuvash people and suffered a series of persecutions from tsarism. I believe that Yakovlev should not be separated from the work of his life 69.
