Note by V.I.Lenin

Isn't it time to put the question of the destruction of private property documents on the agenda1?

{ Notarial acts on land ownership }

{ factories }

{ immovable property } and so on and so forth.

Prepare secretly, without publicity. Seize first...

I think it would be necessary to turn the paper into a paper mass (technically it should be studied in advance).

Note by D. I. Kursky

The measure is not superfluous and can be carried out quickly, since we have the other archives in our hands.

Note by V. I. Lenin

So, will you undertake this without a special resolution of the Council of People's Commissars? (and involve the Commissariat of Internal Affairs in a meeting about it). In secret.

Fond 2, op. 1, d. 7310 - autographs.

1 By this time the Russian government had issued about 60 decrees and resolutions on the abolition of private ownership of land, subsoil, large industrial enterprises, certain sectors of the national economy. The assignment of D.I.Kurskiy was thus an additional measure aimed at destroying the legal grounds for the restoration of private property.
