NOTE TO M. YU. KOZLOVSKY¹

[June 11, 1918]

Comrade Kozlovsky! We must finish the business with the Commission on State Control as quickly as possible. I request you to come to the Council of People's Commissars (SNK) today and take the floor on the order of business. Do you agree?

¹ M. Yu. Kozlovsky was a member of the Board of the People's Commissariat for Justice and a member of the Small Council of People's Commissars.
² The note has been preserved with the minutes of the SNK No. 137 of June 11, 1918 (IMEL archives, D? 11589). At the end of March 1918, a conflict arose in the Board of the People's Commissariat for State Control, for the investigation of which the SNK on April 1 appointed a commission. The question remained on the agenda of the SNK meetings for months and was postponed for a number of reasons. Eventually the commission was formed consisting of: M. Kozlovsky, M. Vronsky, M. Vladimirov and others. On June 11, 1918, the SNK heard M. Kozlovsky's report, which advanced the view that the conflict had arisen on the basis of a divergence of views between the People's Commissariat for State Control and the Central Commission for State Control on the tasks of state control and the methods of its implementation; the SNK adopted a decision to abolish the Central Commission for State Control (see Min. SNK No. 137, IMEL archives D¹ 11589).
