To:   THE EDITORS OF PRAVDA

18. IX. 1918

The bearer, Comrade Mikhail Nikolayevich
Sanayev , [1]

Chairman of the Sergach Uyezd Party Committee (and member of the E.C.), has very interesting things to tell about
the class struggle in the countryside and the Poor Peasants’
Committees.

It is extremely important that such factual material from the local areas should appear in the newspaper (there
is far too much of “generalities”). Will you please take
down what the comrade says and publish it.

With comradely greetings, Lenin
