GUBISPOLKOM, BOSH

I have received your telegram No. 158. I am extremely surprised at the absence of reports on the progress and outcome of the suppression of the kulak uprising in five volosts. I do not want to think that you have shown procrastination or weakness in the suppression and in the exemplary confiscation of all property and especially grain from the insurgent kulaks.

Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars,
LENIN
