To Tsyurupa.
[August 8, 1918] *
Now it is necessary to focus all efforts on ensuring that both decrees (on harvesting detachments and on collective trains) *1 are actually merged in practice and provide us with navi and detachments.
What is being done for this?
1) Instruction: In collective trains, this much should be (1 per 5, for example) from trade unions.
2) develop and strengthen § 7 of the decree on collective trains***
3) their correlation (in practice, so that = assistance) with requisitioning detachments...
4) Assign them all to a maximum of 2 *of the best* districts and clean them out completely.
Note. The II. II. Bryukhanov's note is a response to Lenin's proposals to strengthen the work of harvesting detachments, set forth in the note to A. D. Tsyurupa (see previous document).
