TELEGRAM TO THE C.E.C. OF THE SOVIETS OF SIBERIA

Centrosibir
Irkutsk
Copy to Prokopiev

Prokopiev and others are flooding Larin with telegrams,
asking for money.

I state that I have not received a reply to my telegram
of 23. IV giving exact figures. [1]

I state that such an attitude to the matter, when no reply is given as to what use has
been made of hundreds of millions, and why an extra sum
above the quota is needed and how much, is impermissible.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
