Penza. To the Provincial Executive Committee.  
Copy to the Provincial Committee of Communists.  

I am extremely outraged that there is absolutely nothing definite from you about what serious measures of merciless suppression and confiscation of grain from the kulaks of the five volosts have been carried out. Your inactivity is criminal. All efforts must be directed at one volost and all surplus grain must be cleared from it. Telegraph the execution. [702]  

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, Lenin.
